Netflix has officially announced the release of the highly anticipated Season 2 of Wednesday — and this time, it’s coming in two parts. Part 1 will premiere on August 6, 2025, followed by Part 2 on September 3, 2025. With Wednesday being one of Netflix’s most successful series, fans have been eagerly waiting for the return of the gothic teen sleuth, played by Jenna Ortega.
Jenna Ortega will not only reprise her role as the sharp-tongued, emotionally distant Wednesday Addams but will also step into a producer role for the new season. Season 2 promises a shift in tone, leaning more into horror while maintaining the dark humor and supernatural drama that made the first season a breakout hit.
The storyline follows Wednesday as she faces a chilling new threat: a serial killer with a bizarre obsession with porcelain dolls. Teasers have revealed that Wednesday’s psychic powers have grown stronger — and more unpredictable. As she tries to balance school life at Nevermore Academy with solving another sinister mystery, new faces and old foes will collide in haunting ways.
The cast sees the return of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán as Morticia and Gomez Addams, Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester, and Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams, who has been promoted to a series regular. New cast members include Steve Buscemi as Principal Barry Dort, Joanna Lumley as Grandmama, Billie Piper, Thandiwe Newton, and pop superstar Lady Gaga, who joins as Rosaline Rotwood, a mysterious new teacher at Nevermore.
With its darker storyline, expanded cast, and double release format, Wednesday Season 2 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting Netflix events of 2025. Mark your calendars — the Addams drama returns in spine-tingling fashion this August.
