Updated with the latest: Wednesday’s sophomore season has officially wrapped production. Before this, the latest update on the sophomore season set at Nevermore Academy involved the guest appearance of a certain Mother Monster.
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.

Horror fans, rejoice! We have some good news to share about the hit horror series Wednesday. Production on the highly anticipated second season is officially in the can, meaning we're even closer to the show returning to our screens. On top of that, Netflix decided to release a first-look image of the new season featuring Jenna Ortega back as the iconic Wednesday Addams. You can check out the photo above.
In the new image from Wednesday season 2, Wednesday seems to be standing in some sort of cemetery, and as usual, she doesn't seem the happiest if her arms crossed and slight frown means anything. While plot details surrounding the second season are being kept secret, it's obvious that Wednesday is going to find herself in another tricky situation like last season.
In season 1, Wednesday became entangled in a series of supernatural mysteries while attending her parents' old school, Nevermore Academy.

Another school year has concluded at Nevermore Academy as Wednesday wraps production on its awaited second season. Jenna Ortega, who plays the titular role, launched the Netflix series into phenomenon-level popularity when its brooding first season premiered in 2022.
Showrunners and executive producers Al Gough and Miles Millar detailed the upcoming season in an interview with Netflix’s Tudum, saying: “This season, Wednesday’s journey is darker and more complex as she navigates family, friends, new mysteries, and old adversaries, propelling her headlong into another year at Nevermore.”

Jenna Ortega is back as the Addams family’s death-loving daughter.
In a new photo from Season 2 of “Wednesday,” Ortega is seen frowning her and crossing her arms against a spooky outdoor backdrop — potentially a cemetery — with a gothic gate and two robed statues carrying lanterns behind her. This is the first photo from the Netflix series’ second season, though the streamer previously released a behind-the-scenes clip. Netflix released the photo just after production on Season 2 wrapped in Ireland. The season is set to premiere in 2025.

Singer/songwriter Lady Gaga didn’t have anything to do with the first season of the hit Netflix Addams Family series Wednesday, but when video clips of Jenna Ortega’s “Goo Goo Muck” dance scene went viral, many fans replaced The Cramps’ song “Goo Goo Muck” with a sped-up version of Lady Gaga’s song “Bloody Mary.” So Wednesday and Lady Gaga have been connected for a while now – and that connection is going to be deepened with the now-in-production season 2, as Deadline reports that Lady Gaga has been added to the cast of the show! Details on the character she’ll be playing have not been revealed.

It's been a minute since Netflix dropped Wednesday, its Tim Burton-helmed spinoff off The Addams Family starring Jenna Ortega as a teenaged Wednesday Addams, but did the hype ever truly die down? The first season of Wednesday blew past all expectations when it premiered in 2022, breaking Stranger Things season 4's record for the most minutes viewed in a single week and becoming one of the most-watched shows in the streamer's history. Netflix was quick to renew it for a second season, but with last year's dual Hollywood strikes, it's been slow in coming.
But production is moving right along! Last week was Geeked Week, which meant Netflix dropped tons of teasers and announcements for all its biggest shows. That includes Wednesday, which debuted a first look video that took fans behind the scenes on season 2. Check it out:

That means Burton is at the helm of four of the season’s eight episodes.

Jenna Ortega initially rejected her role in Wednesday due to a stronger interest in film work over TV projects. Ortega's conversation with Tim Burton made her change her mind and desire the Wednesday role more. Taking the Wednesday role proved to be a wise move, catapulting Ortega to household name status and leading to more opportunities.
Jenna Ortega explains why she initially rejected her role in Wednesday. Ortega plays the eponymous Addams Family member in the popular Netflix series, which she will reprise in Wednesday season 2 as the show continues production. Wednesday Addams has become the most recognizable role of Ortega's career, earning her an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. In addition to Ortega, Wednesday also stars Hunter Doohan, Emma Myers, Christina Ricci, Joy Sunday, Georgie Farmer, Fred Armisen, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Luis Guzman.

Jenna Ortega reveals that Wednesday season 2 is partly inspired by a 1964 Edgar Allan Poe adaptation, The Masque of the Red Death. Season 2 will be scarier than season 1, with Wednesday herself used as a "jump scare," but it will still be suitable for younger audiences. By focusing less on romance and more on horror, Wednesday season 2 can lean into what makes the character so unique without falling into familiar teen drama territory.
Wednesday star Jenna Ortega teases season 2's new horror elements. Based on the iconic Addams Family character, Wednesday premiered on Netflix in 2022, following Ortega's titular character as she attends Nevermore Academy and unravels a sinister mystery. The show was a massive success for the streamer, and season 2 is now confirmed to be on the way. Ortega, who now serves as an executive producer on the show, has already teased that some changes are in store for Wednesday season 2, including a slightly scarier tone.

Netflix on Tuesday morning unveiled the series regular and guest cast for the upcoming second season of its hit Addams Family spinoff series Wednesday, headlined by Jenna Ortega.
As the announcement suggests — and Deadline has confirmed with sources — three Season 1 series regulars whose characters were alive and well in the finale — Percy Hynes White, Jamie McShane and Naomi J Ogawa — will not be returning in that capacity next season.
Of the three, only McShane is slated to reprise his Sheriff Donovan Galpin role as a guest star, likely to wrap the story of his character who was left devastated in the Season 1 finale by the discovery that his son Tyler (Hunter Doohan) was the Hyde after the sheriff shot and temporarily incapacitated the monster.
In the final minutes of the episode, Tyler was arrested but tried to escape by changing into a Hyde. His storyline will carry on as Doohan...

Jenna Ortega is teasing the second season of Wednesday, saying that each episode will feel like a movie.
“I’ve received some scripts now for the second season, and we’re definitely leaning into a little bit more horror,” Ortega told Laverne Cox while being interviewed for E! on the Emmys red carpet. “It’s really, really exciting because all throughout the show [Wednesday] never really changes and that’s what’s wonderful about her.”
