When Is Wednesday Season 2 Coming Out?
Netflix has announced Wednesday Season 2 will premiere in two parts:
- Part 1: August 6, 2025
- Part 2: September 3, 2025
This split release promises fans even more suspense as Wednesday Addams faces fresh mysteries at Nevermore Academy.
Wednesday Season 2 Story: What’s It About?
According to Netflix and the show’s creators, this season is darker, more complex, and more personal. Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) returns for another semester at Nevermore Academy, thinking she knows the school’s secrets. But as co-creator Miles Millar warns:
“Nothing is what it seems in Season 2. She thinks she’s in control, that she knows where all the bodies are buried — and she doesn’t.”
Expect a new supernatural mystery with expanded roles for the entire Addams Family, along with fresh characters and chilling secrets.
A Family Affair at Nevermore
Director and executive producer Tim Burton teased a major twist:
“This year, we bring the family to Nevermore. Your family at school is the worst thing possible, isn’t it?”
Yes, Wednesday’s worst nightmare is coming true. Her little brother Pugsley Addams (Isaac Ordonez) arrives on campus. He’s struggling with electrokinesis powers — and with living in his sister’s formidable shadow.
Meanwhile, Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Gomez Addams (Luis Guzmán) have more reasons to be on campus, leading to sword-fighting mother-daughter clashes. Fans will also meet Morticia’s formidable mother, Hester Frump — Wednesday’s Grandmama, played by Joanna Lumley.
