Three years ago, Jenna Ortega's Wednesday Addams pirouetted into our collective consciousness with Netflix's Wednesday, becoming an instant cultural phenomenon that spawned viral TikTok dances, and enough Halloween costume shortages to wear for the rest of time. But while fans devoured the first season's eight episodes faster than Wednesday could deliver a deadpan one-liner, the wait for season has felt longer than a Nevermore Academy detention.
The good news? Wednesday's sophomore season is coming. Netflix confirmed the renewal back in January 2023, riding high on the show's record-breaking success as the platform's second-most-watched English-language series of all time. And finally, after what has felt like an arduous wait, Wednesday is about to grace the small screen once again, albeit in two parts.
'This season, Wednesday’s journey is darker and more complex as she navigates family, friends, new mysteries, and old adversaries, propelling her headlong into another year at Nevermore,' teased the series' co-showrunners and executive producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (via Tudum.) This is everything you need to know about its upcoming release.
