Plot: Wednesday Addams, returns to prowl the Gothic halls of Nevermore Academy, where fresh foes and woes await. This season, Wednesday must navigate family, friends and old adversaries, propelling her into another year of delightfully dark and kooky mayhem. Armed with her signature razor-sharp wit and deadpan charm, Wednesday is also plunged into a new bone-chilling supernatural mystery.

Review: The first season of Wednesday became a massive hit for Netflix despite a quintessentially CW-style approach to storytelling. But, armed with the unique visual style of director Tim Burton and a supporting role from The Addams Family movie star Christina Ricci, Wednesday was anchored by Jenna Ortega’s pitch-perfect take on the macabre teenage protagonist. While the story of Wednesday attending Nevermore Academy felt like a horror-tinged take on Nancy Drew, the series had its charms and easily garnered a second season. After three years of waiting, Wednesday is back with...

Did you watch the first season of Netflix’s Wednesday and come away wishing for more mystery and less humor, more of the secondary members of the Addams family and less of Jenna Ortega’s Emmy-nominated performance, more of the supernatural world of outcasts and less of the real world for contrast?

It’s Ok not to remember exactly. Wednesday premiered nearly three years ago, a duration also known as “adolescence” for most of the underaged supporting cast.

Fortunately, and conveniently, few of the specific plot details from that well-received season are all that relevant. There are enough expositional reminders here for a general catch-up, but the truth is that the new season of Wednesday is so generic that my biggest challenge was separating my memory of the first season from nearly identical dynamics that played out in The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Percy Jackson and the Olympians and...

What's to be done about those who are themselves strange and unusual? The typical answer is for culture to either assimilate or reject the outcasts; if their quirks cannot be embraced and worked into more digestible form for the masses, then they must be renounced, laughed at, and diminished. This is the artistic struggle that filmmaker Tim Burton has dealt with for the entirety of his career, and he's been around long enough to have experienced all the facets of issues with trendiness and conformity. For the first half of his career, Burton's oddball traits were resoundingly praised. Then, like his Edward Scissorhands or Oswald Cobblepot, the luster faded, either in his own work or the public's liking of it (or perhaps a mixture of both), and he endured a period of great financial success mixed with ill reception. In the last several years, Burton has appeared to reach...

Wednesday, the fan-favorite, mystery-oriented spin-off/reboot of the long-running Addams Family franchise, has finally returned for a second season on Netflix after three long years of waiting. Indeed, fans have been chomping at the bit for more of Jenna Ortega and Tim Burton’s fresh new take on the beloved Addams daughter, and you can count me amongst them as someone who’s had a soft spot for Charles Addams’ kooky creations since high school.

But with the pedigree of the first season and the long hype cycle for Season 2, can the final product actually live up to those expectations? Right now, I am happy to report that the answer is mostly yes. Season 2 is at least as good as the first season, and by the end I could easily see it being better. Though please bear in mind that this only applies to the first four episodes, as that...

“Here We Woe Again” is an apt title for the Season 2, Part 1, opener of Netflix’s mega-hit “Wednesday.” Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar with Tim Burton in the director’s chair, the series follows Wednesday Addams (a perfectly cast Jenna Ortega) — a macabre, black cloaked teen with psychic abilities. Having spent her summer break honing her prophetic visions and indulging in a game of chicken with a serial killer, Wednesday returns to Nevermore Academy for the fall term. Yet, things aren’t as they once were. A shocking mystery quickly begins to occupy Wednesday’s time, leading her to uncover some haunting secrets concerning Jericho and its history with outcasts. Additionally, a lot more is revealed about the Addams family lore, including the root of Wednesday and Morticia’s (Catharine Zeta-Jones) strained relationship. Full of zing and depth, the season remains just as thrilling as the first.

A decade ago, in an era before “Stranger Things,” it would have been unthinkable for a show to return after three years off the air and expect its audience to pick up where it left off. “Wednesday,” the popular horror-mystery drama focused on the daughter of the Addams family, is one such case in our changed streaming landscape.

Thankfully, the first four episodes of the much-anticipated second season step up to the plate. It may not reach the heights of “Stranger Things,” but with Tim Burton returning to direct two of the four episodes, it’s a consistently entertaining watch. Jenna Ortega continues to be the show’s secret ingredient, embodying the iconic character with a steely deadpan and hilarious, sardonic one-liners.

What works particularly well in this new season was promised by Ortega herself many full moons ago, when she admitted that Wednesday’s love triangle in the first season made “no sense.

Emma Myers and Jenna Ortega have formed a close friendship both on and off screen!

The two actresses star as Enid Sinclair and Wednesday Addams in the hit Netflix series Wednesday.

In a new interview for Seventeen‘s digital cover, Emma dished on her close bond with Jenna, who also shared what she likes about her co-star/friend.

“I love her so much. We have such a fun time together,” Emma gushed about Jenna. “She’s producing this next season so she had a lot more creative input and was always telling me, ‘If there’s something you don’t like or something you’re not comfortable with, let me know and I’ll be your person.’”

“She definitely was looking out for the cast, but she’s also such a great friend,” she added. “You can confide in her. I instantly felt really...

Jenna Ortega is putting her unique sense of style on display for Wednesday press in the Big Apple!

The 22-year-old actress was spotted in several looks while promoting season two of the Netflix series in New York City.

Jenna wore a black dress at the season two fan screening at the Paris Theater on Tuesday night (August 5). She was joined at the event by co-stars Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzman, Fred Armisen, Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, and Georgie Farmer.

Earlier in the day, Jenna wore a brown top and gray skirt while stepping out for press.

The beginning of August seemed to have been sent from the heavens as the month started off with Cynthia Erivo as Jesus and Adam Lambert as Judas in the Hollywood Bowl’s electrifying production of “Jesus Christ Superstar.”

The three-night run included multiple standing ovations, high critical praise and celebrity sightings in the audience, including Erivo’s “Wicked” co-stars Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum, as well as Kristin Chenoweth, Kathy Griffin, Jenifer Lewis, Michelle Visage, Cheyenne Jackson, Dan Bucatinsky and Chris Colfer. “Jcs” composer Andrew Lloyd Webber made a surprise appearances during the first night’s curtain call.

The summer heat of New York City got even hotter with Chris Pratt and Taylor Kitsch premiering “The Terminal List: Dark Wolf” at the Regal Times Square. Also in the city were “Wednesday” stars Georgie Farmer, Emma Myers, Noah Taylor Luis Guzmán and Fred Armisen taking in WWE Raw Live on Netflix at the Barclays Center.

“Wednesday” Season 2 is finally back…at least partly.

The second season of the Addams Family spinoff brings back Jenna Ortega as the titular character living as a student at Nevermore Academy. Wednesday is despising her newfound fame after saving the school in Season 1, but that attention also leads to new stalkers.

Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) got up to plenty of mischief and adventure in Season 1 of the eponymous Netflix series, created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar.

The coming-of-age series centering the young heroine as she carves out her own path amongst her Outcast peers at Nevermore Academy had plenty of mystery and investigation, none of which daunted her. Some might even say it was the social scene at school that haunted her more than a mysterious monster lurking in the woods, students keeping secrets from her and those very obviously and vocally out to get her.

For those needing a refresher about what happened in Wednesday Season 1 ahead of the arrival of Season 2 Part 1, below lies a recap of the most salient plot points.

Here we go (or should we say woe) again! Netflix's smash hit Wednesday is back for Season 2, promising the return of familiar faces, fresh threats, and thrilling new mysteries at Nevermore Academy. And now we're learning even more about Lady Gaga's aptly titled song, "Dance Dead," that will premiere during the sophomore season.

It's been nearly three years since Wednesday debuted in Nov. of 2022, quickly becoming Netflix's most-watched English-language series of all time. Based on the iconic character Wednesday Addams created by Charles Addams, the show was brought to life by creator/showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, with Emmy nominee Jenna Ortega starring as the unforgettable title character.

Here's everything you need to know about the second season of Wednesday.

Season 2 synopsis

Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), returns to prowl the gothic halls of Nevermore Academy, where fresh foes and woes await.

In the final episode of Raw before SummerSlam, there was plenty of good old fashioned in-ring wrestling along with some eye-opening and jaw-dropping moments, from Dominik Mysterio receiving a Nintendo Switch 2 from Roxanne Perez to Roman Reigns getting speared by Bron Breakker, then having his shoes stolen right off his feet by Bronson Reed — an act of disrespect that added to tension ahead of SummerSlam, where Reed teamed with Breakker in a clash against Reigns and Jey Uso.

With SummerSlam 2025 in the books, revisit everything that happened over the epic weekend and prepare for the fallout on tonight’s episode of Raw.

The Aug. 4 episode of Raw takes place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

The Aug. 4 Raw celebrity guests include Wednesday cast members Fred Armisen, Luis Guzmán, Emma Myers, Noah Taylor, and Georgie Farmer, as well as influencer Fanum, and rappers Method Man, Joe...

Just when we thought 2025 had already given us all the dragons, magic, and epic quests we could handle, the fantasy gods said, “Not so fast!” If you're anything like me, your watchlist is likely overflowing. But let’s be honest, there’s always room for a few more sword-wielding heroes, mythical creatures, and unforgettable adventures.

With the year drawing to a close, various streaming platforms are gearing up to release new seasons of some of their most beloved fantasy series. In fact, fans have been eagerly awaiting the return of three particular shows, and the anticipation is reaching a fever pitch.

If you're wondering what these three must-see series are, all you need to do is continue reading because we shared the titles as well as their official premiere dates below.

Note: One of the shows on this list does not have a premiere date just yet. However, it's been confirmed for a 2025 release.

An Oxford-set college rom-com from the guy behind The Inbetweeners; the return of one of Netflix’s biggest ever shows; Genndy Tartakovsky’s latest adult animated project; Vanessa Kirby’s return to more intimate dramas about the human condition; a documentary that promised to shed new light on the Jussie Smollett hate crime incident; and a murder mystery film featuring several British and Irish acting icons are some of the highlights among the new films and series hitting Netflix in August.

Kicking off August is the rom-com My Oxford Year, which focuses on the tried and trusted formula of a young American girl heading to stuffy old Europe and finding love with some impossibly handsome and terribly charming guy, so it’s almost guaranteed to find a huge audience. In this instance, Sofia Carson plays Anna, an ambitious American student at Oxford University whose life is changed when she meets...

It won't be long until Wednesday Season 2 enters Netflix, and the streaming giant has revealed the titles for the show's Part One. Just like the previous season, these titles are filled with woe. And while the second half has yet to reveal its names, these names tease what's to come for this gothic coming-of-age drama.

The episode titles were revealed on Netflix's Tudum page. They are Episode 1: "Here We Woe Again," Episode 2: "The Devil You Woe," Episode 3: "Call of the Woe," and Episode 4: "If These Woes Could Talk." Wednesday Season 2 features the return of Jenna Ortega as a teenage Wednesday Addams, as she enters her second year at Nevermore Academy. But she's not alone, as also enrolled is her brother, Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez). However, her second year in school won't be easy, as one of the big mysteries that this next installment has in store is...

We're less than a week until Wednesday returns. The Tim Burton Netflix horror comedy series based on the beloved Addams Family franchise took the world by storm in 2022. The second season’s marketing campaign has doubled down on the madness and spooky crossovers with popular brands. Now, with just days to go, Funko has conjured up their latest Wednesday Pop wave.

Based on Season 2, there are five new Wednesday Pop figures:Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers), Morticia Addams (Catherine Zeta-Jones), Pugsley Addams (Isaac Ordonez), Bianca Barclay (Joy Sunday), and the titular teenage miscreant. While most of these characters have received Pops in the past, there are a lot of chillingly fun details with these updates. This includes Enid’s new hairstyle, Pugsley in his Nevermore Academy uniform, and Wednesday crossing her arms in disapproval. She must have seen all the merchandise her character has received in the last three years.

The Addams...

Wednesday Addams' sophomore year is right around the corner, but not everyone will be happy about what is coming. In fact, quite the opposite, as Netflix has taken the opportunity to remind people of just how woeful WednesdaySeason 2 will be by sharing a dreadful glimpse at Part 1, which premieres on Aug. 6, 2025. The streamer shared several new photos from the second season alongside the episode titles, offering some additional clues about the mysteries that await the show's titular teen as she returns to Nevermore Academy.

The gallery of images (shared below) features some instantly recognizable fan-favorites from Wednesday's first season, as several stars return to reprise their roles alongside Jenna Ortega's spooky and kooky lead character. Among those pictured are Emma Myers, who is back on the scene as Wednesday's quirky and colorful roommate Enid Sinclair, as well as Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams, Moosa Mostafa as Eugene Ottinger, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams,...

Jenna Ortega channels a ‘Born This Way’-era vibe at the London premiere of ‘Wednesday 2’.

Jenna Ortega has once again proved that dark style can be sophisticated. The ‘Wednesday‘ star captivated on the purple carpet at the world premiere of the show’s second season, held on Wednesday 30 July at the iconic Central Hall Westminster in London. At just 22 years old, Ortega continues to cement her status as a fashion icon and generational talent.

For the occasion, the actress wore a striking design by Ashi Studio, featuring a semi-sheer latex corset with snakeskin texture, laced at the back, paired with a fitted high-neck top and a floor-length mermaid skirt with asymmetric ruffles. Bold and provocative, the ensemble echoed the aesthetics of Lady Gaga’s Born This Way era. A deliberate nod to pop’s more subversive universe? All signs suggest Jenna knows exactly what message each of her looks conveys.

Jenna Ortega wears a daring look while attending the Wednesday season two premiere held at Central Hall, Westminster on Wednesday (July 30) in London.

The 22-year-old star and executive producer of the series wore an Ashi Studio look, featuring a “beige semi-sheer snakeskin-textured latex waist corset with back lacing, paired with a tight high-neck top and a long mermaid-cut skirt finished with asymmetrical ruffled trim.”

She was also joined at the premiere by her parents Natalie and Edward.

Also hitting the purple carpet were Jenna‘s co-stars Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Georgie Farmer, Luis Guzman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Isaac Ordonez, Victor Dorobantu, Moosa Mostafa, Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo, Oliver Watson, Gracy Goldman, Joonas Suotamo and Fred Armisen, plus season two newcomers Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, Noah B Taylor, Kyle Hixon, Joanna Lumley and Frances O’Connor.

Updated with the latest: Wednesday’s sophomore season has become the latest to get the two-part release treatment from Netflix.

After the runaway success of Netflix and Tim Burton’s Addams Family stand-alone series Wednesday starring Jenna Ortega, the streamer renewed it for a second season in January 2023. That decision came less than three months after the eight-episode Season 1 premiered. It eventually became the most-watched original series ever on the streamer, with more than 252 million views to date, far surpassing Stranger Things Season 4, Dahmer, and Season 1 of Bridgerton on the all-time list.

Season 1 received 12 Emmy nominations, including for Ortega in Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. She became just the third Latina ever to be nominated in a leading actress category. The series won four Emmys, though Ortega lost out to Abbott Elementary‘s Quinta Brunson on Emmy night.

When will Season 2 be released?

Netflix has deemed Season 2 of Tim...

Netflix scored big with Tim Burton's Wednesday series, and it looks like they're going to continue to be in business with both Burton and its star, Jenna Ortega. The director has seen a big career resurgence thanks to the success of the series and the box office bonanza of the sequel, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Both projects have also involved Ortega, who could be on her way to being the director's next Johnny Depp.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Wednesday has been handed an early Season 3 renewal by Netflix along with talks of a spinoff series, which is in early development. During an extensive interview with THR, creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar hope to keep Wednesday around for at least seven seasons, otherwise known as her Nevermore tenure, but a lot of it comes down to Ortega.

Netflix is staying in the Wednesday game.

The streamer has ordered a third season of the supernatural comedy series, which stars Jenna Ortega in the Addams Family reimagining. Plans are also in the works for a spin-off series of the Tim Burton-exec produced show, which was created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, according to THR.

This comes ahead of the Season 2 launch on Netflix on August 6 and after Season 1 became the most-watched original series ever on the streamer, with more than 250 million views. It also received 12 Emmy nominations, including for Ortega in Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. The show is therefore undoubtedly one of the streamer’s biggest hits.

Good news would make Wednesday Addams feel like harming someone to relish the emotional whiplash, but this bit would surely be exciting. Ahead of the premiere of the much-anticipated second season of Netflix's hit series Wednesday, The Hollywood Reporter reveals that the show has been renewed for Season 3. Series director Tim Burton and star Jenna Ortega shared the news. The news of the early renewal, while surprising, doesn't come as a total shock, given the show's immense popularity on the streaming platform. Wednesday Season 1 stands proud as the most-watched season of a Netflix show, making it the most popular Netflix original series of all time. The show has amassed 252.1 million views so far, and this number is expected to increase when Season 2 debuts its first part on August 6.

The Hollywood Reporter also posed the question of the show's longevity, but the executive producer and actor did not have a definite answer.

“Wednesday” Season 3 is happening.

Netflix confirmed the news ahead of the Season 2 premiere of the Tim Burton and Jenna Ortega dark comedy. The upcoming second season will be released in two parts set to premiere on Aug. 6 and Sept. 3.

It’s not surprising that Netflix would be eager to give this series more episodes. “Wednesday” Season 1 still ranks as the No. 1 most-watched English-language Netflix original of all time, securing 252.1 million views in its first 90 days. It’s also the second most-watched Netflix show of all time behind the first season of “Squid Game.”

Based on the titular character by Charles Addams, “Wednesday” is a reimagining of The Addams Family created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. The first season revolves around Wednesday attempting to solve a murder at her school.

Just two weeks ahead of its Season 2 premiere, Wednesday has scored an early renewal for Season 3, Netflix announced Wednesday.

Showrunner Alfred Gough and Netflix chief content officer Bela Bajaria also commented on the Wednesday spinoff that’s currently in the works (an initial report claimed it would center around Fred Armisen’s Uncle Fester), though official details remain a secret for now. “It’s something we’re definitely noodling,” said Gough. “There are other characters we can look at.”
