The first part of season 2 of the popular series Wednesday, which consists of four episodes, is now available on Netflix. Fans of the series will have to wait until September 3 for the release of the other four remaining episodes. This gap between parts has led to the conclusion of the first part ending with a shocking cliffhanger, leaving all viewers eager for more.
Note: Of course, from now on, there are spoilers.
Oh my God! They have killed him!
In the final episode of this first part, the character Tyler, played by Hunter Doohan, throws Wednesday, portrayed by Jenna Ortega, out of the window of the asylum where she was held. This highly anticipated and controversial scene has sparked numerous reactions on social media, becoming a topic of conversation among the show’s fans. However, co-showrunner Alfred Gough has confirmed that, despite this dramatic twist, Wednesday is still alive, admitting that the protagonist is “made of Teflon” and that, since the series bears her name, she will definitely return.
The series also addresses significant events in the plot, such as the death of Laurel Gates, played by Christina Ricci, who was previously the botany teacher Marilyn Thornhill at Nevermore. Tyler, in an act of revenge for the manipulation he was subjected to by her, becomes responsible for her demise.
The impact of the final sequence of the fourth episode, directed by the renowned filmmaker Tim Burton, has been praised for its intensity and its ability to keep the audience on the edge of their seats. With the second part of the season scheduled to premiere on September 3rd, fans of Wednesday have an exciting wait ahead, filled with speculation and theories about the future of the series.
Wednesday, the acclaimed Netflix series, finally returns with its anticipated season 2, releasing only 4 episodes on August 6, which of course falls on a Wednesday, and approximately three years after its first installment. However, this decision has raised certain concerns among fans, who were hoping for more episodes. The first season consisted of eight episodes, and the current division of season 2 into two parts of four episodes each may disappoint some fans. Let’s go step by step, as Jack the Ripper said.

Wednesday, the acclaimed Netflix series, finally returns with its highly anticipated season 2, releasing only 4 episodes on August 6, which of course falls on a Wednesday, and approximately three years after its first installment. However, this decision has raised some concerns among fans, who were hoping for more episodes. The first season consisted of eight episodes, and the current split of season 2 into two parts of four episodes each may disappoint some fans.
Let’s go step by step, as Jack the Ripper said
Part 1 is already available, while the eagerly awaited remaining episodes will arrive on September 3, which is almost a month later. This strategy of releasing episodes in parts follows a trend that Netflix has adopted with other popular series like Stranger Things and Bridgerton, aiming to increase subscriber retention and encourage conversation on social media. While some argue that this structure allows for a more developed and contemplative narrative, many critics see it as a commercial attempt to prolong interest in their most successful titles.
Over the years, Netflix had established its reputation in the streaming world by offering complete seasons of its series all at once. However, since the fourth season of Stranger Things, a different path has been taken, where series like Cobra Kai and Squid Game have also followed this new format. This transformation has led to a notable polarization among viewers; some prefer to enjoy the marathon experience, while others appreciate receiving episodes weekly.
The introduction of this model could affect the overall viewer experience, as many may choose to wait for Part 2 to enjoy the series in its entirety. In this way, the marathon phenomenon that characterized Netflix could be diminished, in a turn that, although intended to maximize conversation, could also imply that the viewing experience is not what many expect, as they want to watch one episode after another without stopping.

Netflix has many big hits. Colossal hits that transcend the limits of Netflix and become cultural phenomena are much fewer. Although it is precisely these exceptions that justify the million-dollar investments made by the platform, always seeking that big success that continues to justify its existence. Trying to find the formula that allows them to replicate success regularly. Even if they still haven’t figured out how to achieve it.
The latest big hit from Netflix has been Wednesday. And now it returns with a second season that promises to be as big a success as the first season. Or at least, Netflix has been promoting it to make that happen.
A series with a solid foundation
Wednesday is a series that follows the character of Wednesday Addams, the youngest daughter of the Addams Family. Due to her significant socialization issues at school, her parents decide to enroll her in Nevermore Academy, a school for young people with supernatural powers or unique backgrounds. There, Wednesday will have to learn to control her psychic powers, stop a wave of murders occurring in the nearby town for which the academy is being blamed, and the most difficult of all: to get along with her roommate, the incredibly optimistic and pink werewolf Enid Sinclair.
With the first episodes directed by Tim Burton, the first season surprised with its perfect blend of comedy, drama, and small touches of horror. With a very particular, almost gothic aesthetic, never abandoning the logic of teenage mystery stories in the style of Riverdale, the excellent work of Jenna Ortega as Wednesday and Emma Myers as Enid made the series a complete success. And for very good reasons.
We don’t know much about the second season. Its creator has said that the series, at its core, is about Wednesday’s struggles to navigate the world and how she sees everything in black and white in a world of grays, so we can expect there to still be conflicts with other members of the academy and especially with her dear friend Enid.
But to know it, we won’t have to wait. The second season is set to premiere soon, although in two parts. The first eight episodes of the season will premiere on August 6, directed by Tim Burton and Paco Cabezas, while the last four will premiere on September 3, directed by Angela Robinson and Tim Burton. A true dream team that promises us quality assurance for this second season, even if we will have to be a little patient to see it in full.
Many possibilities of success
And there are reasons to believe it will be a success. The first season of the series reached up to 150 million households and achieved a total of one billion hours viewed by December 2022. The critics were also quite favorable towards it. With a 73% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 66 on Metacritic, the series was well received. This translated into numerous nominations and awards during 2023, demonstrating that the series had potential and, above all, managed to attract attention not only among the audience.
Now arriving at its second season on Netflix, it is to be expected that it will be a success again. To what extent? It is impossible to know. The figures from the first season are excellent, and sequels often have trouble repeating what the originals did, but Wednesday is the kind of series that could very well replicate the success. So we have to wait and see what happens with this particular Netflix series. And see what Jenna Ortega has in store for us.
It’s not that The Addams Family ever left pop culture: in 2019 and 2021, to name a few, two animated movies produced by Universal were released that grossed over 300 million dollars combined (with a cost of only 47 million). With Jenna Ortega as the lead, it can be said that Netflix didn’t have too much at stake with the release of Wednesday in 2022. What no one expected was that it would be the absolute hit that it was: 341 million hours viewed worldwide (more than Stranger Things) earned it a […]
It’s not that The Addams Family ever left pop culture: in 2019 and 2021, for instance, two animated films were released by Universal that grossed over 300 million dollars combined (with a cost of only 47 million). With Jenna Ortega as the lead, it can be said that Netflix wasn’t taking too much of a risk with the release of Wednesday in 2022. What no one expected was that it would be the absolute hit that it was: 341 million hours viewed worldwide (more than Stranger Things) earned it an immediate renewal. And here we are, of course… Although it wasn’t always like this for the youngest Addams.
Tiririrí, chas, chas
Lost among adaptations, not everyone knows that The Addams Family was originally a comic strip published in The New Yorker for 50 years. In total, its author, Charles Addams (by coincidence), published only 150 cartoons of a macabre family filled with dark humor… that did not have a proper name. In fact, Wednesday Addams did not appear in the strip for six years, until August 26, 1944, when Morticia told her daughter “Come on, don’t come crying to me. Tell him you’ll poison him back”, while Pugsley, the boy, looked through the door.
For 18 years, the character had no name, simply being one more of the Addams, until in 1962 the FAO Schwartz store decided to launch two exclusive dolls for its customers: one of the mother and one of the daughter… And they asked the author to give them proper names. For the mother, for obvious reasons, he chose “Morticia,” and for the daughter “Wednesday,” from an American poem that began with “The boy of Monday is handsome, the boy of Tuesday is graceful, the boy of Wednesday is full of sorrow.” There was not much doubt.
On the doll, there was a card that read “She is romantically pale because she was raised in the basement of the old, dilapidated Addams mansion. Imagine her childhood: lessons in black magic… Sunday dinners of two-headed roast pork… The pet octopus. Nice people adore Wednesday. Unpleasant people think she is a cheerful, wicked, and creepy companion for all their wicked plans. As it is evident that Wednesday could fall into bad hands, don’t doubt it for a moment.” They could have ignored this piece of history and faded into oblivion, but when in 1964 they insisted on making a comedy for television and had to give a name to everyone, the name of the girl was already more than decided. That’s how history is made!
In fact, Wednesday Addams gained popularity later on, with the sitcom. Since then, she has been adapted into two animated series, another live-action series, five movies (one of them direct to video), a musical, and even a crossover with Scooby-Doo. Although she is over 70 years old, no one would say that Wednesday, especially with Jenna Ortega’s face, has aged a bit. The second season is just around the corner on Netflix, on August 6, and perhaps it’s time to celebrate it by reading the original strips. After all, it might be the perfect time to join a marathon.
The long-awaited second season of Wednesday will return to Netflix on August 6, 2025, after a long wait of almost three years since the premiere of its first season. This return is especially anticipated, considering that the first installment of the series broke several records, becoming the most-watched English-language series on the platform, even surpassing icons like Stranger Things. In its first week, Wednesday accumulated an impressive 341.23 million hours viewed.

The highly anticipated second season of Wednesday will return to Netflix on August 6, 2025, after a long wait of nearly three years since the premiere of its first season. This return is especially awaited, considering that the first installment of the series broke several records, becoming the most-watched English-language series on the platform, even surpassing icons like Stranger Things. In its first week, Wednesday accumulated an impressive 341.23 million hours viewed.
A series that falls on the shoulders of Jenna Ortega
Despite its success, Wednesday did not surpass the views of Squid Game, which holds the record with 265.2 million views, but it did surpass Adolescence, which reached 142.6 million. The series, starring Jenna Ortega, has captured the audience’s attention not only for its narrative but also for iconic moments, such as Ortega’s famous dance to the rhythm of Goo Goo Muck. There are rumors that the second season will include a special appearance by Lady Gaga, which could add additional appeal.
Netflix chose to split the second season into two parts, with the first block released on August 6 and the second on September 3, 2025. This strategy could heighten interest, although there are concerns that the waiting time may have affected the overall enthusiasm for the series. However, Netflix is expected to have a robust promotion to ensure that the return of Wednesday does not go unnoticed.
The concrete data on the effectiveness of season 2 will not be available until August 12, when Netflix releases its audience statistics. It will be a key moment to assess the impact of the series upon its return.
The successful series Wednesday, created by Tim Burton and starring Jenna Ortega, has become the most-watched in Netflix history, accumulating 252 million views since its premiere in 2022. This impressive achievement has led Netflix to confirm a second season, the release of which has been announced in two parts, a strategic move reserved for its most prominent titles.

This impressive achievement has led Netflix to confirm a second season, which has been announced to be released in two parts, a strategic move reserved for its most prominent titles.
Two batches of four episodes to leave us wanting more
The highly anticipated new installment of Wednesday will begin with the release of the first four episodes on August 6, while the remaining four will premiere on September 3. In this second season, the protagonist returns to Nevermore Academy, where she will face a series of new challenges, delving into a new supernatural mystery. Fan-favorite characters, such as Enid Sinclair, played by Emma Myers, and Bianca Barclay, portrayed by Joy Sunday, will also return, accompanying Wednesday on this dark adventure.
In addition, it has been confirmed that Pugsley, played by Isaac Ordonez, will play a more significant role in this installment. The Addams family, rich in peculiarities, will have a greater prominence in the plot. In an unexpected twist, the new headmaster of the Academy will be played by the renowned actor Steve Buscemi. But perhaps the most shocking addition is that of global star Lady Gaga, who will join the cast as Professor Rosaline Rotwood, which promises to intensify the appeal of the series.
With this return, Wednesday ensures it maintains its status as a cultural phenomenon, continuing with the blend of dark humor and mystery that has captivated millions of viewers. Expectations are high and the tension is palpable as fans eagerly await the return of the peculiar daughter of the Addams family.
Season 2 of Wednesday is already on the horizon, introducing a new director at Nevermore Academy, Barry Dort, played by the well-known actor Steve Buscemi. This installment will seek to integrate the outcast students in a more celebratory manner, with a notably different approach than that of its predecessor, former director Larissa Weems. How will Wednesday adapt to these changes? Dort, who has promised to correct Weems’ mistakes, has stated that the school faced attacks last year due to her management. Apparently, the narrative of the new season will focus on the guilt that will fall on […]
Season 2 of Wednesday is already on the horizon, introducing a new principal at Nevermore Academy, Barry Dort, played by the well-known actor Steve Buscemi. This installment will aim to integrate the outcast students in a more celebratory manner, with a notably different approach than its predecessor, former principal Larissa Weems.
How will Wednesday adapt to these changes?
Dort, who has promised to correct Weems’ mistakes, has stated that the school faced attacks last year due to her management. Apparently, the narrative of the new season will focus on the blame that will fall on the deceased principal while new students are introduced, including Pugsley, who now has the ability to manipulate electricity, inherited from his uncle Fester.
Among the events announced for this season are April Fools’ Day, Remembrance Day, and Outcast Camp, which promises a series of activities that will promote the celebration of differences instead of traditional integration in a normie world. Several surprises will follow along the way, as fans will be able to enroll as students on the academy’s own website, nevermoreacademy.com.
However, the biggest question that remains is how Wednesday will react to this new optimistic direction that is open to recognizing the singularities of the outcasts. While Dort’s approach seems to align more with the authenticity of these students, it is uncertain whether his leadership style and desire to establish a more festive environment will coexist with Wednesday’s dark and irreverent personality.
As the premiere approaches, fans of the series maintain their anticipation about how the dynamics at Nevermore Academy will unfold and what challenges the young protagonist will face in this new stage.

Their first six minutes leave us wanting more
Additionally, the first six minutes of the first episode were shown, revealing a disturbing scene with Wednesday gagged and surrounded by fearsome dolls in a basement belonging to a serial killer played by Haley Joel Osment. This tense beginning sets the dark and complex tone that Jenna Ortega had promised, giving a significant twist compared to the first season.
The narrative of the new installment will delve even deeper into the mystery, being “darker and more complex,” which will allow for the exploration not only of Wednesday’s story but also the background of other characters. A notable development will be the inclusion of Pugsley (Isaac Ordoñez), who will join the Nevermore academy and will have ectokinetic powers, which will expand the family plot and offer new dynamics between the siblings.
The second season will also feature the return of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán as Morticia and Gomez Addams, along with a cast of guest stars including Billie Piper and Steve Buscemi. With such an impressive team and a more mature approach, the anticipation for the premiere of Wednesday on August 6 is high, as it promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats with its blend of dark humor and supernatural mystery.
