Netflix’s hit series Wednesday is officially returning for a second season. The show, starring Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams, became one of the most-watched series on Netflix. Fans are eager to know about the release date, cast changes, and new storylines.
Wednesday Season 2 Confirmed By Netflix
Netflix officially renewed Wednesday for a second season in early 2023. The first season broke records, becoming the second most-watched English-language series on Netflix. It gathered over 1.2 billion hours of viewing time in just a few weeks.
Jenna Ortega said: “I’ve never had that kind of reaction to anything I’ve done. It’s been really insane and wonderful to see.”
The show’s success led to quick approval for Season 2. Netflix executives confirmed that production will start in 2024.
Expected Release Date For Wednesday Season 2
Filming for Wednesday Season 2 was delayed due to the Hollywood strikes in 2023. However, Netflix has announced that production will begin in April 2024.
If filming goes smoothly, fans can expect the new season to arrive in late 2024 or early 2025. The first season took about eight months to film and edit, so a similar timeline is expected.
Returning Cast Members For Season 2
Most of the main cast will return for Wednesday Season 2. This includes:
- Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams
- Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair
- Joy Sunday as Bianca Barclay
- Hunter Doohan as Tyler Galpin
- Percy Hynes White as Xavier Thorpe
Catherine Zeta-Jones (Morticia Addams) and Luis Guzmán (Gomez Addams) are also expected to return.
New Additions To The Cast
Several new actors will join Wednesday Season 2. The most talked-about addition is Steve Buscemi, who will play a new teacher at Nevermore Academy.
Other rumored cast members include:
- Billie Piper (known for Doctor Who) in an undisclosed role
- Christopher Lloyd (original Addams Family actor) possibly returning in a cameo
What To Expect In Wednesday Season 2
The first season ended with several cliffhangers. Wednesday discovered that Tyler was the Hyde monster. Xavier was arrested, and Principal Weems was killed.
Season 2 will likely explore:
- Wednesday’s psychic visions and how they develop
- More mysteries at Nevermore Academy
- A potential new villain
Co-creator Alfred Gough teased: “We’ve only scratched the surface with these characters. The next season will dive deeper into the Addams family lore.”
Filming Locations For Season 2
The first season was filmed in Romania, but Season 2 might move to Ireland. Netflix is considering new locations to expand the show’s visual style.
Fan Reactions And Expectations
Fans have high expectations for Wednesday Season 2. Many hope to see more of Wednesday and Enid’s friendship. Others want more screen time for Thing, the iconic Addams family hand.
One fan tweeted: “I need Wednesday Season 2 to give us more dark humor and creepy mysteries. Jenna Ortega is perfect in this role!”
Will There Be A Season 3?
Netflix has not confirmed Wednesday Season 3 yet. However, if Season 2 performs well, the show could continue for more seasons.
