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.
