As a seasoned movie buff with decades of horror and comedy classics under my belt, I must say that the return of Wednesday is a delightful spectacle that sends chills down my spine and tickles my funny bone simultaneously! The first season was a masterclass in dark humor and suspense, and Jenna Ortega’s performance as Wednesday Addams was nothing short of iconic.
The highly anticipated series “Wednesday” is set to send shivers down spines during Netflix’s Geeked Week, unveiling a tantalizing sneak peek of Season 2. Co-created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, with Tim Burton at the helm as both director and producer, “Wednesday” stars Jenna Ortega from “Beetlejuice” and “Scream.” This supernatural drama revolves around Wednesday Addams, played by Ortega, as she navigates her teenage years at Nevermore Academy. The first season delves into Wednesday’s struggles to control her budding psychic powers, halt a murderous rampage, and unravel the mystery that entangled her parents 25 years ago. Take a look at the fresh teaser for “Wednesday” Season 2 below, which provides an exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpse and confirms the show’s return in 2025.
On Wednesday, an impressive ensemble has been assembled alongside Ortega, featuring Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams, Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams, George Burcea as Lurch, Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester, and Victor Dorobantu as Thing. For the upcoming Season 2, the focus will shift more towards the Addams Family, with key players like Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Isaac Ordonez, and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo being elevated to regular roles. Fred Armisen is set to return as Uncle Fester, while Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Hunter Doohan, Victor Dorobantu, Moosa Mostafa, and Georgie Farmer will continue their roles in the series.
The initial show, titled “Wednesday,” turned out to be a massive success, primarily due to Ortega’s captivating central performance, which earned him a Golden Globe nomination. This series garnered four Primetime Emmy Awards and was lauded by both critics and viewers. Notably, it became the second most-watched debut on Netflix, and currently holds the weekly record for the most hours viewed for an English-language series on Netflix.

As a movie enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that for the upcoming Season 2 of ‘Wednesday’, I’ll be joining an extraordinary cast!

Billie Piper, Steve Buscemi, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, Noah Taylor, Frances O’Connor, Haley Joel Osment, Heather Matarazzo, and Joonas Suotamo, each with their impressive resumes, will also be part of the ensemble.
