Wednesday Season 2 Is Officially A Go

One reason Wednesday was such an immediately beloved series is that it’s not just an Addams Family adventure — it’s a murder mystery whodunit, with Miss Addams as the amateur detective working to crack a 25-year-old cold case. (Benoit Blanc would be proud.) She solved the mystery by the end, but the season’s cliffhanger ending seemed to hint there will be more Wednesdays to come. And fans are in luck — Netflix has officially renewed the hit series for a second season.

Warning: Spoilers for Wednesday Season 1 follow. Although Wednesday followed a few red herrings, by the end of the season, she’d snapped (err, cracked) the case, revealing Marilyn Thornhill (Christina Ricci) was Laurel Gates, whose ancestor, Joseph Crackstone, founded Jericho, where Nevermore Academy is located. Her henchman (henchhyde?) Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan) was the monster terrorizing the school who Wednesday had been trying to track down.

Both were taken into custody, but there was a suggestion Tyler may have escaped; meanwhile, Wednesday received a new mystery to solve, with threatening texts arriving on her phone before the end credits rolled.

Here’s everything to know about Season 2 so far.

Wednesday Season 2 Renewal

Netflix has officially renewed Wednesday for Season 2, and it’s no surprise since Season 1 was a bonafide hit. It instantly became one of the most popular Netflix series of all time, with 1.237 billion hours viewed within its first 28 days. So, it was truly only a matter of time before Netflix gave official OK for more episodes.

Speaking to Variety, Wednesday showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar said when they plan a show, they always have a long view plan for multiple seasons. Millar suggested they had laid out “at least three or four seasons,” though they kept the outline flexible. “We certainly have a pretty clear runway of what we want to do in future seasons.”

That’s good for fans who need more Wednesday, Enid, and the rest of the Nevermore Academy world.

Wednesday Season 2 Potential Cast

Wednesday Season 2 couldn’t return without its titular character, played by Jenna Ortega. Most likely, the actors playing her family will return, including Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán as Morticia and Gomez Addams, respectively, and Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley. The rest of the household will likely also be back, with Victor Dorobantu as Thing, George Burcea as Lurch, and Fred Armisen turning up for a minute as Uncle Fester again.

As for her schoolmates, fans would riot if Emma Myers didn’t come back as Enid Sinclair. Wednesday’s other schoolmates, Donovan (Jamie McShane), Xavier (Percy Hynes White), Bianca (Joy Sunday), and Eugene (Moosa Mostafa), will probably also return.

Despite Principal Weems being murdered, Gwendoline Christie teased that she could also come back. The showrunners also broadly hinted that Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan) did not go to prison but is “hyding out.”

Wednesday Season 2 Trailer & Release Date Predictions

Filming for Season 1 (some of which was on location) lasted from September 2021 to March 2022, so if Netflix sticks to a similar timeline for Season 2, fans could have a new trailer and season to watch within the year.

All episodes of Wednesday Season 1 are streaming on Netflix.
