‘Wednesday‘ was released on Netflix in 2022 and possibly the makers never expected that it will become such a big hit. It received highly positive reviews and audiences specifically fell in love with Jenna Ortega, who portrayed the lead role of Wednesday Addams.
The supernatural comedy horror series was created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar and although it had only eight episodes, the engaging storyline was enough to keep audiences hooked to their seats. Now because the reception was better than expected, the makers confirmed another season although the renewal took some time. So let’s check what would happen next.

‘Wednesday’ Season 2: What To Expect From The Plot?
The plot of the series was derived from the original Addams Family story and also had the elements of a murder mystery. The first season of the series explored the character of Wednesday and how she managed to finish her graduation along with making some friends and confronting the monster, Hyde.
Toward the end of Season 1, we saw that Hyde was eventually captured but there is a possibility that he will be able to escape from the hands of the authorities. Wednesday leaves the school but she receives messages from an unknown individual and realizes that Hyde was not the only problem that she thought was disturbing everyone.
The second season is also expected to take a gap of two years from the events of Season 1. Audiences can also hope to see that Morticia and Gomez would get more screen space and this will be helpful in understanding Wednesday’s background. Moreover, the showrunners stated in an interview with Collider that they would explore all sorts of relationships including Wednesday and Morticia’s mother-daughter bonding.

Audiences can remain assured for now that Jenna Ortega will return as Wednesday Addams. Moreover, considering her performance in Season 1, it is evident that no one else can play the role perfectly except Ortega.
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzman would have important roles to play as Wednesday’s parents and so their return is confirmed. Others who might appear include Gwendoline Christie, Riki Lindhome, Jamie McShane, Hunter Doohan, Percy Hynes White, Emma Myers, Joy Sunday and more.
The first season of the series premiered on November 23, 2022. The makers confirmed a second season in January 2023. The elements of horror and mystery are an important part of the show which means that the producers have to work to bring in the best visual effects for the audiences. The plot is expected to take a gap of two years and based on that, we can expect Season 2 to premiere by 2025.
