Netflix officially announced that Wednesday Season 2 was renewed in January 2023, and now the spookiest student in pop culture, Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams, is gearing up for another year of ghostly whodunits at Nevermore Academy.
With executive producers Al Gough and Miles Millar promising more “dark and complex” storylines, fans can look forward to fresh villains, deeper Addams Family lore, and jaw-dropping cameos.
When and Where to Watch
- Premiere Window: Expected late 2025 on Netflix
- Episodes: Rumored 8 one-hour installments
- Filming Location: Beautiful, mist-shrouded Ireland, adding “timeless beauty and epic spectacle” according to Millar and Gough
What to Expect in the New Season
Gough and Millar tease that “Wednesday’s journey is darker and more complex as she navigates family, friends, new mysteries, and old adversaries.” After solving the Nevermore murder spree, Wednesday must now confront supernatural threats that blur the line between schoolwork and survival. “If we told you why [we go darker], Wednesday would kill us,” they wink in a Tudum feature.
