Get ready for a spine-chilling second season of Netflix’s wildly popular series, *Wednesday*. During Geeked Week 2024, the streaming giant released a sneak peek behind the scenes of the highly anticipated season 2, currently in production.
Catherine Zeta-Jones, who embodies the elegant and mysterious Morticia Addams, promises that season 2 will be “bigger and more twisted than you can ever imagine.” The footage offers glimpses of Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams navigating the eerie halls of Nevermore Academy, hinting at a deeper exploration of her psychic abilities and the secrets lurking within its walls. “If we showed you anymore, your eyes would bleed,” Ortega quips with her signature Wednesday deadpan before peering into the camera with an air of knowing intrigue.
While season 2’s plot remains shrouded in secrecy, viewers can expect to delve into more supernatural mysteries as Wednesday uncovers the hidden truths of Nevermore. Season 1 saw Wednesday grappling with her burgeoning powers while investigating a murder, and this season promises to take those challenges to a whole new level.
Alongside the returning cast, including Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair, Joy Sunday as Bianca Barclay, and Moosa Mostafa as Eugene, season 2 welcomes a star-studded array of new faces. Prepare to be captivated by the additions of Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, Noah Taylor, Christopher Lloyd, Joanna Lumley, Thandiwe Newton, Frances O’Connor, Haley Joel Osment, Heather Matarazzo, and Joonas Suotamo.
Wednesday is the brainchild of Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, with Tim Burton returning to direct half of the eight-episode season. Burton’s signature dark and whimsical touch, which brought such magic to the first season, is sure to be a highlight of season 2. Following the success of their recent collaboration, *Beetlejuice Beetlejuice*, which has raked in over $274 million worldwide, Gough, Millar, and Burton are back to enchant audiences with a new chapter in the Addams family saga.
It’s worth noting that *Wednesday* is one of Netflix’s most beloved shows, with season 1 achieving the impressive feat of becoming the streaming giant’s most-watched English-language TV series ever, racking up over 252 million views. With such an enthusiastic fan base and a team dedicated to delivering a compelling and engaging experience, *Wednesday* season 2 is poised to set the stage for another captivating chapter in the Addams family’s extraordinary story. Mark your calendars for 2025 when *Wednesday* returns to Netflix.
