«Wednesday», Season 2

Platform: Netflix

Release date: August 6 and September 3, 2025

Genre: fantasy, comedy, crime, detective

Country: USA

Cast: Jenna Ortega, Hunter Doohan, Emma Myers, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Georgie Farmer, Luis Guzman

In the second season, we will once again follow the adventures of 16-year-old rebel Wednesday from the eccentric Addams Family. Wednesday 2022 is a classic coming-of-age story in a supernatural and eccentric wrapper with an abundance of dark humor, a mystical atmosphere, and a strong detective component. Perhaps that is why the first season was so beloved by viewers and broke Netflix's viewership record in its first week.
The creators promise even more horror and monsters, and also plan to pay special attention to Wednesday's relationship with her mother, Morticia. Jenna Ortega is now not only the main star of the series, but also an executive producer. As the actress herself explained, during the filming of last season, she often had to "almost unprofessionally" defend her vision of what Wednesday could or couldn't be. Now, her role as producer gives her much more control over her character's image. How this will affect the result - we'll see soon.
