The halls of Nevermore Academy are opening once again—Wednesday is almost back for Season 2. After a wildly successful debut that turned the iconic Addams Family daughter into a streaming sensation, fans got word in 2023 that a follow-up season was on the way, with filming kicking off the following year. Now, we’re finally getting a closer look at what’s in store.
With returning characters, fresh mysteries, and even darker twists ahead, News47.us has rounded up everything we know so far about the next round of chaos for Wednesday Addams.
Netflix officially announced the renewal of Wednesday on January 6, 2023. In the Season 2 announcement video, Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams delivers a perfectly on-brand message: “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.”
The streaming service said “more misery is coming” and the “global phenomenon will return for season 2.”
“It’s been incredible to create a show that has connected with people across the world. Thrilled to continue Wednesday’s tortuous journey into season two. We can’t wait to dive head first into another season and explore the kooky spooky world of Nevermore. Just need to make sure Wednesday hasn’t emptied the pool first,” creators/showrunners/executive producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar told Tudum.
Wednesday became an instant hit for Netflix when it debuted on November 23, 2022. In just its first week, Wednesday had 341.23M hours viewed and became the record-holder for the most hours viewed in a week for any English-language TV series on Netflix. Wednesday beat Stranger Things 4, which previously held the title with 335M hours viewed in the first week. Wednesday broke another Netflix record in its second week with 411.29M hours viewed.
The love for Wednesday Addams began when the fictional family was created by cartoonist Charles Addams. The first Addams Family television series premiered in 1964. Feature films starring Christina Ricci as Wednesday Addams debuted in the 1990s.
