Netflix’s hit series Wednesday has returned for its second season, nearly three years after its debut captivated audiences worldwide. However, unlike the first season, the streaming platform has split the new season into two parts. The first half, comprising four episodes, premiered on August 6, while the remaining four episodes—Wednesday season 2 part 2—are scheduled to release on September 3.
Starring Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams, the show continues to follow the gothic misadventures of the Addams Family’s most iconic member. The first half of season 2 introduced a host of new mysteries, supernatural elements, and returning characters such as Enid, Morticia, and Uncle Fester. Episode titles in part 1 include Here We Woe Again, It’s My Party and I’ll Woe If I Want To, Dance the Night a Woe, and Now You See Me, Now You Woe.
Part 2 will feature the final four episodes: Let Me Woe You Again, The Final Woe Down Part 1, The Final Woe Down Part 2, and The Final Woe Down Part 3. According to early reports, the remaining episodes are expected to explore darker and more horror-centric narratives, with new threats emerging at Nevermore Academy.
Filmed in Ireland, the second season marks a shift in tone, moving away from high school romance and toward a more introspective, eerie atmosphere. Ortega, who now also serves as executive producer, has played a key role in shaping the direction of the story, advocating for a version of Wednesday that is more focused on self-discovery and less on romantic subplots.
Co-creator Alfred Gough stated that the creative team aimed to deepen character arcs and expand the mythical world of Nevermore. Teasers suggest that part 2 will resolve key storylines introduced earlier in the season while introducing new supernatural challenges for the characters.
Netflix has already renewed the series for a third season. While a release date has not yet been announced, the early renewal indicates the platform’s confidence in the show's continued success.
The decision to release season 2 in two parts follows a growing trend among major streaming platforms, aiming to extend viewer engagement and allow for ongoing discussions between drops. Other series, such as Bridgerton, You, and Stranger Things, have adopted similar strategies.
Season 2 of Wednesday consists of eight episodes in total, maintaining the series’ balance of horror, mystery, and dark humor. The next installment, set to premiere on September 3, is expected to bring the season to a dramatic close.
