Release Date

Season 2 of Wednesday is set to premiere on Netflix in 2025, though an exact date has not yet been confirmed. Production wrapped in December 2024, with the series moving its filming location from Romania to Ireland. Given the show’s gothic themes, a release around Halloween is likely.

Plot

Season 2 will dive deeper into horror, with a darker and more sinister tone compared to the first season. Jenna Ortega, who plays Wednesday, has confirmed that romantic subplots will be removed, allowing the story to focus on mysteries and Wednesday’s growth as a character. The season will explore themes inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death and emphasize Wednesday’s role as a “jump scare” herself.

The relationship between Wednesday and her mother, Morticia, will take center stage, delving into their complex bond. Meanwhile, Nevermore Academy is set to host new challenges and characters, including a new principal played by Steve Buscemi.

New Characters and Mysteries
