Unless you’ve been living under a rock or on an extreme digital detox, you would know about Netflix’s newest hit show, Wednesday.
The Addams Family spin-off centres around the eldest Addams child, Wednesday (Jenna Ortega), and her misadventures as a rebellious teenager at a new school, Nevermore Academy.
There, she becomes entangled in a gruesome murder mystery involving the students, local residents, and all sorts of monsters and ghouls.
Season one gave us this iconic viral dance scene and saw the resurgence of the goth girl, so we are more than thrilled that another season is on its way.
Is Wednesday season 2 happening?
YES! On January 7, Netflix confirmed a second season with a video (below), in which Ortega as Wednesday says, “Over the past few weeks I’ve been hunted, haunted, and mimicked millions of times across the internet. It’s been pure torture. Thank you.”
When is Wednesday season 2 premiering?
Unfortunately, we don’t have an official release date as of yet.
We know that season one began filming in September 2021 and wrapped up around March 2022.
If we put our maths hats on, we can add the eight months it took for the show to hit screens and discover that it was roughly a year and one month from start to finish.
If Netflix follows the same timeline for the second season, Wednesday would need six months to film and eight months of postproduction, which puts us at mid-2024.
Who is cast in Wednesday season 2?
So far, there’s no official word on who will return or make their return or debut in Wednesday season 2, but we can safely assume the following will be back:
Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams
Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams
Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams
Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams
Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester
Gwendoline Christie as Principal Larissa Weems
Jamie McShane as Sheriff Galpin
Percy Hynes White as Xavier Thorpe
Hunter Doohan as Tyler Galpin
Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair
Joy Sunday as Bianca Barclay
What do we know about Wednesday season 2?
There is yet to be an official season 2 trailer, but we’ve had some intel from the show’s creators and cast.
Co-showrunner Miles Millar spoke to TV Line about showcasing the Addams family more heavily in season 2, saying, “We felt like we just touched the surface with those characters and the actors are so amazing in those roles.
“Catherine [Zeta Jones] is, I think, an iconic Morticia. The relationship between Wednesday and Morticia is also essential to the show, and the idea that Wednesday is trying to forge her own path outside the family is important.”
Actor Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones) has also hinted at her return for a potential second season. Talking to Digital Spy, Christie said, “We haven’t seen her put in the ground, have we?”
“I feel like Larissa Weems would not really be prepared to entertain or be dominated by anything as commonplace as death.”
Bring it on. Or else!
