After becoming a global hit with its first season, Netflix’s Wednesday is officially returning for Season 2 and fans of the Addams Family spin-off couldn’t be more thrilled. With Jenna Ortega reprising her iconic role as the deadpan and brilliant Wednesday Addams, the new season promises more mysteries, dark humor, and supernatural thrills set in the gothic world of Nevermore Academy.
What to Expect in Season 2
The plot of Season 2 is still under wraps, but creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar have hinted at deeper character arcs, more family dynamics, and a darker, more horror-centric tone. This time, Wednesday will face new enemies and possibly explore her own mysterious powers further.
Returning and New Cast Members
Season 2 will see the return of many familiar faces:
• Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams
• Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams
• Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams
• Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams
• Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair
• Joy Sunday as Bianca Barclay
• Percy Hynes White as Xavier Thorpe

New additions to the cast are also being kept under wraps, but industry sources suggest new student characters and faculty at Nevermore Academy will shake up the existing dynamics.
Release Date and Production
Netflix confirmed that filming for Wednesday Season 2 began in Ireland earlier this year. While no official release date has been announced, the series is expected to premiere in early 2026.
Why It Matters
Wednesday became a breakout success for Netflix, racking up over 1 billion viewing hours and becoming a top-streamed series in multiple countries. Jenna Ortega’s dance scene went viral on TikTok, and her performance earned her an Emmy nomination. With gothic visuals, witty writing, and a compelling cast, Season 2 aims to continue its cultural dominance.
Summary
As anticipation builds, Wednesday Season 2 promises to bring more of the chilling charm, clever writing, and gothic teen drama that made the first season a hit. Fans of the Addams Family and newcomers alike should brace for another unforgettable ride through the halls of Nevermore.
