It’s official: Wednesday Season 2 is creeping back into our lives, and this time, things are bloodier, bolder, and brilliantly bizarre. Netflix dropped the first teaser on April 23, 2025, and confirmed that the sophomore season will release in two parts—Part One lands on August 6, while Part Two drops on September 3.
This time, Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams isn’t just returning to school. As she puts it: “I already know where the bodies are buried.”
The teaser opens with Wednesday striding through airport security armed with brass knuckles, a taser, a machete…and an attitude. Only Thing’s sun tan lotion sets off the alarm, naturally. The Addams family—Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones), Gomez (Luis Guzmán), and Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez)—joins her return to Nevermore Academy, where secrets are deadlier, visions sharper, and enemies more sinister.
“You don’t need to worry about me, Mother,” Wednesday assures. “I do my best work in the dark.”
As Jenna Ortega told E! News, Season 2 is “very graphic,” and Tim Burton “really had a ball” directing. Ortega added, “It’s hard to get tired of a character like Wednesday.” And with the teaser hinting at creepy dolls, captive Hydes, and Enid’s return, fans are in for a twisted treat.
Why is the Wednesday Season 2 release split in two?
Netflix’s decision to divide the new season into two parts echoes a pattern seen with Bridgerton, Stranger Things, and Cobra Kai. Honestly, this strategy doesn’t just appear to be about hype; what the makers want is to transform regular binge sessions into global TV events.
By spacing the season out over a month, Wednesday’s world has more time to ferment in fan theories, speculation, and sweet family tension.
But what does this mean for the story? With Tim Burton only directing four episodes this season, fans are speculating whether Episode 4 (Part One’s finale) will feature a climactic twist. Could it mark a shocking death? A Hyde resurgence? A betrayal from within?
Given that Wednesday’s visions are more powerful than ever, one thing is certain: this break will leave fans gasping.
We will see new faces, familiar foes, and more consequences
Returning alongside Ortega are Wednesday faves Luis Guzmán, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Victor Dorobantu (Thing), plus new star power like Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Thandiwe Newton, and Joanna Lumley. But don’t expect a reunion for all—Percy Hynes White (Xavier) and Naomi J. Ogawa (Yoko) are officially out this season.
The eerie ambiance gets an extra dose of weird as Morticia warns, “Every family has dark secrets,”—and fans know in the Addams family, secrets don’t stay buried. Plus, Pugsley may be enrolling at Nevermore, and Tyler (last season’s Hyde) appears to be imprisoned.
Enid’s back, too, and as Emma Myers teased to Screen Rant, “Season 2 is better than Season 1, honestly… There are cool little Easter eggs.”
