“Wednesday” Season 2 Is Back After 3 Year Wait: Here Is What We Know
The wait is (almost) over—”Wednesday” is back this year, and things are getting darker, weirder, and way more twisted. Netflix is splitting the new season into two parts: Part 1 premieres August 6, and Part 2 drops September 3.
“Wednesday” Season 2 Premise
Season 2 dives deeper into Wednesday Addams’ world at Nevermore Academy. She’s honing her psychic abilities, facing off against new mysteries, and digging into her family’s dark past. The teaser already sets the tone—she’s getting flagged by TSA not for weapons, but because Thing tries to sneak in sunscreen. Iconic.
Jenna Ortega returns as the delightfully deadpan Wednesday Addams, joined by Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia, Luis Guzmán as Gomez, and Emma Myers as her bright and bubbly roommate, Enid. Their oddball friendship continues to evolve in the most wonderfully creepy ways.
This time around, we’ll see even more of the Addams family. Zeta-Jones teased that Season 2 will be “bigger and more twisted than you could ever imagine,” and Ortega shared that the show is shifting away from the romantic drama of Season 1 and leaning harder into true horror.
“Wednesday Addams” Season 2 Cast
The mother-daughter dynamic between Morticia and Wednesday will take center stage, and new family members will be introduced. Zeta-Jones, Guzmán, and Isaac Ordoñez (Pugsley) have all been promoted to series regulars, so expect a lot more Addams family energy.
New characters are also joining the madness. Steve Buscemi plays Nevermore’s new principal, Barry Dort, and the cast expands with Billie Piper, Noah Taylor, and Evie Templeton. And yes—Lady Gaga is stepping into an undisclosed role that has fans buzzing with theories.
Behind the scenes, Tim Burton is back in the director’s chair, and filming moved to Ireland for a fresh, gothic twist on the visuals. With over 252 million views, Season 1 became one of Netflix’s biggest hits ever—and Season 2 is ready to raise the stakes.
Oh, and there’s more: Netflix and MGM Television are already cooking up a spinoff focused on Uncle Fester (played by Fred Armisen in Season 1), so the “Wednesday” universe is only getting bigger.
Mark your calendars—Wednesday Addams returns August 6, and she’s bringing more chaos, creepy charm, and family drama than ever before. “Wednesday” Season 1 is streaming now on Netflix.
