The wait for Wednesday Addams’ return is almost over, and fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief—Season 2 is officially on the way. After the record-breaking success of its first season, Netflix’s gothic sensation is set to make a spectacular comeback in 2025.
And that’s not all. According to insider sources, filming has just wrapped up, and a third season might already be in the works. Here’s everything we know so far.
The Phenomenon of Season 1
Wednesday took the world by storm when it debuted on November 23, 2022. Based on The Addams Family universe, the series quickly became Netflix’s most-watched English-language show, amassing over 252 million views.
It didn’t just break streaming records—it also became a pop culture sensation. The show racked up 12 Emmy nominations, winning four awards for best costumes, original theme music, makeup, and production design. Add to that the viral Wednesday dance trend on social media, and it’s no surprise Netflix wasted no time in greenlighting another season.
A Renewal That Was Never in Doubt
Netflix officially announced Wednesday Season 2 on January 6, 2023, a decision that surprised no one. The show’s massive fanbase, combined with its critical acclaim, made the renewal inevitable.
Even before Netflix confirmed the news, reports suggested that writers were already working on scripts and that plans for the next season were well underway. Showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar expressed their excitement, saying:
“Creating a show that resonates with people around the world has been incredible. We can’t wait to continue Wednesday’s twisted journey in Season 2. We’re diving even deeper into Nevermore’s dark world—just making sure Wednesday hasn’t drained the pool first.”
What’s Next for Wednesday Season 2?
So, what can fans expect from the next chapter of the story?
According to the showrunners, the heart of Wednesday lies in its character relationships, particularly Wednesday and Enid’s friendship. Their bond struck a chord with audiences, and Season 2 will explore how Wednesday navigates this newfound connection—while, of course, keeping her signature deadpan charm and sharp wit.
There’s also buzz about a major new character joining the cast. Speculation suggests it could be Cousin Itt, Purbert, or even Grandmama Addams—all iconic figures from The Addams Family lore.
And for those who weren’t a fan of Wednesday’s love triangle in Season 1, here’s some good news: it’s gone.
Jenna Ortega, who plays Wednesday, revealed in an interview with Variety that the show is leaning even more into horror this time around.
“We’ve decided to focus more on the horror elements and drop any romantic storylines, which is really exciting. Season 2 will be bolder, darker, and a lot more intense.”

While an exact release date hasn’t been announced yet, Netflix has confirmed that Wednesday Season 2 will premiere in 2025.
With a darker tone, new characters, and an even more intense storyline, it looks like Wednesday Addams is about to take Nevermore Academy—and Netflix—by storm once again. Get ready for more mischief, mystery, and macabre fun!
