Wednesday fans have been eagerly awaiting the return of Jenna Ortega as the iconic Wednesday Addams, and Netflix has finally confirmed when the second season will drop. After the huge success of Season 1, Wednesday is back with more supernatural mysteries, dark humor, and, of course, plenty of kooky, spooky moments.
When is Wednesday Season 2 Premiering?
Wednesday Season 2 is set to premiere in two parts. Part 1 will be available on August 6, 2025, followed by Part 2 on September 3, 2025. Fans can expect a thrilling continuation of the show’s supernatural adventures, this time with more twists, secrets, and a deeper dive into the Addams family lore.
What’s the Plot of Wednesday Season 2?
Season 2 will continue where the first season left off, with Wednesday Addams returning to Nevermore Academy, where more supernatural challenges await. The show’s creators have always had a multi-season plan in mind, and they’re ready to explore new layers of the iconic character and her family.
According to co-creator Miles Millar, the season will delve deeper into Wednesday’s relationship with her family, particularly her iconic mother, Morticia Addams. Millar also teased that Season 2 will lean into the horror aspect, offering a darker tone while keeping the signature lightheartedness that made the first season so captivating.
The show will also explore Wednesday’s path outside of the Addams family as she faces new supernatural threats, ensuring that the character remains unpredictable, sharp-witted, and as enigmatic as ever.
Who’s Returning for Wednesday Season 2?
The core cast from Season 1 is returning, including:
-
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

Additionally, Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo will join the regular cast as Deputy Richie Santiago. Fans will also see Steve Buscemi as the new Principal Dort of Nevermore Academy, and Thandiwe Newton will appear in an unspecified role.
There will also be new additions to the Addams Family, including Lady Gaga, who will guest star in a yet-to-be-revealed role. Christopher Lloyd and Joanna Lumley will also make appearances, adding further intrigue to the already star-studded cast.
A New Family Member and Other Surprises
Season 2 will introduce a new member of the Addams Family, though Netflix has kept their identity a secret. There have been speculations, with Jenna Ortega herself expressing a desire to see Cousin Itt join the chaos. It’s also worth noting that while Gwendoline Christie’s character, Larissa Weems, perished in Season 1, there are no certainties in a supernatural world—so never say never.
A Darker Season with Less Romance
In interviews, Jenna Ortega has expressed that Season 2 will lean more into the horror elements, delivering a darker atmosphere than before. She also mentioned that Wednesday won’t be dealing with any romantic subplots in this season, which will please fans who didn’t enjoy the love triangle of the first season.
What’s Next?
With two drops planned for August and September 2025, Wednesday Season 2 promises even more thrilling adventures, spooky mysteries, and eerie creatures lurking at Nevermore Academy. With new characters, new dynamics, and a more intense focus on horror, the second season is poised to keep fans hooked.
