Netflix’s “Wednesday” series, starring Jenna Ortega, has been a major success since its release in 2022. The show gained even more popularity when the iconic dance scene featuring the titular character went viral, edited to a TikTok remix of Lady Gaga’s track “Bloody Mary”. Since Season 2 was announced, fans have been eagerly awaiting news and updates. Although there were concerns about delays in production, the teasers released so far suggest that the wait will be worthwhile.
Most recently, Netflix unveiled a new teaser for the upcoming season, featuring members of the Addams Family who were absent from the first. So, to get us all excited, here’s a recap of everything we know about “Wednesday” Season 2 so far:
1. The new season will be split into 2 parts
Unlike most television series, “Wednesday” Season 2 will not be released all at once. It was reported in April that the season will be split into two parts, with the first four episodes premiering on 6th August 2025, followed by the remainder on 3rd September. While the reason for this was never specified, it was speculated that it is “simply another way for Netflix to refresh its platform and build hype for its most popular series”, according to Screenrant.
2. Hollywood’s biggest stars will guest-star in the upcoming season
As previously reported, the upcoming season will feature some of Hollywood’s biggest names and more. Lady Gaga, Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Christopher Lloyd, and Haley Joel Osment are among the celebrities set to appear in the show.
3. The extended Addams Family will also be introduced
As mentioned earlier, the latest teaser offers a first look at other members of the Addams family who did not appear in the first season. The new, altogether ooky family portrait features Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams, Victor Dorobantu as Thing, Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Joanna Lumley as Grandmama Hester Frump, Joonas Suotamo as Lurch, and Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.
4. The title of episode 1 is “Here We Woe Again”
Netflix previously confirmed the title of the first episode of the sophomore season, which is “Here We Woe Again”. Other newly confirmed episode titles, in no particular order, are “Hide and Woe Seek”, “This Means Woe”, and “Woe Thyself”. Ever since these titles were announced, fans have been making guesses on what they could possibly mean based on the clues and hints given from teasers and trailers. Guess we’ll have to wait till the new season comes out to confirm those theories.
5. Season 2 will feature more horror
Jenna Ortega previously revealed on the Variety “Actors on Actors” chat with Elle Fanning that the upcoming season of “Wednesday” will lean more into the horror aspect than romance. “We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror aspect of the show a little bit more because it is so lighthearted, and a show like this with vampires and werewolves and superpowers, you don’t want to take yourself too seriously. We’re ditching any romantic love interest for Wednesday, which is really great,” said the actress.
Here’s the trailer for the upcoming season:
