The highly anticipated second season of Netflix's smash hit "Wednesday" is set to premiere in July 2025, following the completion of filming in November 2024. The series, which broke records as Netflix's most-watched English-language show, is currently in post-production.
Star Jenna Ortega, returning as the iconic Wednesday Addams, has revealed that the new season will embrace a darker tone, shifting focus from romance to horror elements. The storyline promises to delve deeper into Wednesday's complex character development at Nevermore Academy.
Catherine Zeta-Jones, who plays Morticia Addams, hints at an expansive and twisted new chapter that will surpass audience expectations. The show's creative team has also teased new relationships and adversaries within the halls of Nevermore.
The cast lineup sees both familiar faces and notable additions. Emma Myers (Enid Sinclair), Joy Sunday (Bianca Barclay), and Luis Guzmán (Gomez Addams) will return alongside Ortega. The new season welcomes an impressive roster of talent, including Billie Piper, Steve Buscemi, Joanna Lumley, Thandiwe Newton, and Christopher Lloyd. Pop icon Lady Gaga is set for a special cameo appearance. However, Hunter Doohan and Naomi J. Ogawa will not return for the second season.
Production values have been elevated thanks to an increased budget, promising enhanced gothic visuals and elaborate set designs that stay true to the Addams Family aesthetic. The showrunners have indicated potential for multiple future seasons, suggesting a long-term vision for the series.
With darker adventures ahead and deeper character exploration promised, "Wednesday" Season 2 appears poised to build upon the success of its predecessor while pushing the narrative into more sinister territory.
