Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, Wednesday follows the titular Addams to Nevermore Academy, where she learns to master her emerging psychic abilities. In Season 1, she uncovers a killing spree that was connected to her parents, Morticia and Gomez, who met at the school 15 years earlier.
Season 2 will shine brighter on Wednesday, and Morticia’s mother-and-daughter relationship and new family members will be introduced. Zeta-Jones, Guzmán, and Isaac Ordoñez, who plays Wednesday’s brother Pugsley, were all upped to series regulars for the show’s sophomore season. A spinoff expanding the world of Wednesday with a focus on Uncle Fester (played in Season 1 by guest star Fred Armisen) is in the works from Netflix and MGM Television. A recent trailer revealed that Wednesday will return to Nevermore Academy, where she will be reunited with her roommate Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers).
Zeta-Jones previously teased that their sophomore turn will “be bigger and more twisted than you could ever imagine.” Ortega has shared that the new episodes will lean more into horror, unlike the teen romance storyline focus from the show’s freshman season.
The season will be split into two parts: Part 1 will premiere on August 6, with Part 2 to follow on September 3. This is the first time in a while that Netflix has employed the split-season release pattern, which it has used on some of its biggest shows. Last year, the streamer’s Bridgerton, Emily in Paris, and Outer Banks all had their latest installments drop in two halves, four weeks apart.
