Almost two years ago now, Wednesday premiered on Netflix and changed lives. In the coming-of-age supernatural series, Jenna Ortega stars as the sarcastic and deeply depressed Wednesday Addams, who spends her time at Nevermore Academy (monster school) investigating murders, doing iconic dances, and casually dating here and there. What more could you want in a show? People with TV taste have been desperately awaiting any news about a season 2 ever since, but it’s been mostly crickets until now. As a Scorpio with profound appreciations for dark humor and Jenna’s comedic timing, this show is actually everything to me, so I’m paying close attention to all the updates we get. Here’s everything to know about Wednesday season 2, including the release date, cast, and plot details.
Wednesday Season 2: Premiere Date, Cast, Details
When Is Wednesday Season 2 Coming Out?
Netflix announced that season 2 is coming in 2025, but they neglected to provide a specific release date. Uggghhhh.
Who’s In The Cast Of Wednesday Season 2?
Obviously, there’s not a show without Jenna Ortega, and she’ll return to portray the one and only Wednesday, everyone’s favorite goth sleuth. Most of Jenna’s costars from season 1 are also returning: We can expect to see Emma Myers (Enid Sinclair), Joy Sunday (Bianca Barclay), Moosa Mostafa (Eugene), Georgie Farmer (Ajax), and Victor Dorobantu (Thing). Serious regulars Catherine Zeta-Jones (Morticia Addams) and Luis Guzmán (Gomez Addams) will also appear in season 2, thank goodness.
And there are some new cast members as well! New faces in the upcoming season include: Billie Piper, Steve Buscemi, Evie Templeton, Noah Taylor, and Owen Painter.
Percy Hynes White (Xavier), who was accused of sexual assault last year, will notably not be returning to the show. In a May 2024 Instagram Story, he wrote, “I had so much fun working on this show. I can’t wait to watch season 2 🙂 Much love.”

According to Netflix, the series will keep following “the supernatural mysteries” that occur around Wednesday at Nevermore Academy. We just got a sneak peek in a new teaser, but they really don’t give much away, unfortunately. “Season 2 is going to be bigger and more twisted than you can ever imagine,” Catherine promises in the behind-the-scenes video. Sounds on-brand to me! At the end, Jenna deadpans, “If we showed you any more, your eyes would bleed. And I’m not that generous.” Sigh.
Don’t be shy, Wednesday people! Drop the new season ASAP. Please.
