Netflix's Wednesday returns in 2025 with a highly anticipated second season, split into two parts: premiering on August 6 and concluding on September 3. After the massive success of Season 1, which introduced viewers to a gothic, supernatural take on Wednesday Addams’ life at Nevermore Academy, the upcoming season promises to lean even more heavily into horror, mystery, and family drama.
At the heart of the show remains Jenna Ortega, who reprises her role as Wednesday and now steps into a producer role. Her portrayal of the sardonic, sharp-witted teen won widespread praise in Season 1, and Season 2 is set to further explore Wednesday's psyche as she faces new threats. Ortega herself has teased that this season will move away from romantic subplots in favor of darker storytelling—something fans of classic Addams Family lore may welcome and recommend.
A major shakeup comes with the full Addams family enrolling at Nevermore Academy. This includes Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones), Gomez (Luis Guzmán), and Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez), who now has lightning-based powers. This new family dynamic is expected to bring both comic tension and emotional depth, revealing more about the Addams' past and their eerie legacy.
Season 2 also introduces a chilling new villain: a serial killer obsessed with porcelain dolls, which adds a sinister edge to the supernatural mysteries already brewing. The new principal of Nevermore, Barry Dort (played by Steve Buscemi), brings a quirky and unpredictable energy to the faculty, while other new characters—including Joanna Lumley as Grandmama and Lady Gaga in a secretive role—add intrigue and potential twists to the plot.
Behind the camera, Tim Burton returns to direct half of the season’s eight episodes, maintaining the show’s whimsical yet morbid tone. Directors Paco Cabezas and Angela Robinson will handle the remaining episodes, offering consistency with a touch of variety.
The teaser trailer gives fans a glimpse of Wednesday navigating airport security with concealed weapons, subtly nodding to the chaos she’s about to bring. With its dark aesthetic, a deeper dive into Addams family lore, and a more mature, horror-driven narrative, Wednesday Season 2 is shaping up to be a compelling continuation of the macabre story that enchanted millions.
Whether you're drawn by the mystery, the Addams charm, or the eerie new twists, this season promises to be Wednesday at her darkest—and most brilliant.
