Wednesday is one of the most exponentially popular Netflix shows of 2022. An infallible amalgamation of dark comedy with romance, the series exceeds over 752,000,000 million hours. It would have been surprising if the show wasn’t renewed earlier this month. However, we do know that Netflix seldom surprises its audience in this way. As per the streaming giant’s data:
“The series broke the record for the most hours viewed in a week for an English-language TV series on Netflix – not once, but twice – when it debuted in the #1 spot with a record-breaking 341.23M hours viewed, and again in its second week with a staggering 411.29M hours viewed.”
Tim Burton’s directorial debut, Wednesday piqued the excitement of the readers the moment Netflix released the first look of Jenna Ortega in the iconic Gothic costume of Wednesday Addams. Tim Burton is associated with the project as both a producer and a director.
That being said, fans are now perched on the edge of their seats, ever since Netflix’s dark comedy was renewed for a second season. Be that as it may, there has been no announcement regarding the return date of the show. But we do know that unfortunately, Wednesday season 2 is not coming to Netflix in February since it was not enlisted in the February line-up of new movies and shows which was officially released by the streaming platform.
But that is no reason to be down in the dumps because we have compiled all the information we could get about Wednesday season 2 and here we are supplying those crumbs of information to you in this article. Continue reading more about Wednesday season 2.
When was Wednesday officially renewed for a second season?
On January 6, 2023, Netflix officially confirmed that the comedy horror would return for a second season. The two showrunners of the series, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, “It’s been incredible to create a show that has connected with people across the world.” They further added, “Thrilled to continue Wednesday’s tortuous journey into season two. We can’t wait to dive headfirst into another season and explore the kooky spooky world of Nevermore. Just need to make sure Wednesday hasn’t emptied the pool first.” This news debunks all the rumours that previously circulated on the internet reporting that MGM Television may be moving the show to Prime Video.

What can we expect to happen in Wednesday Season 2?
In Season 1 of Wednesday, we saw Tyler, in chains, transported to a maximum security prison, or even a psychiatric ward. But before he could be completely transported to the prison, Tyler donned his Hyde form, letting the audience assume that he killed all the armed guards. What will happen now with Tyler on the loose?
Season 1 also left on a sad note of Larissa Weems’ demise. As a result, everyone is left wondering who will become the principal of Nevermore Academy. The first choice can be Morticia Addams, Wednesday’s mother, who was formerly a student of Nevermore and a member of the Nightshades. However, if our assumption is right, then Catherine Zeta-Jones will be updated as a series regular. Wednesday was also seen defeating Jeremiah Crackstone who was resurrected by Laurel. However, knowing that Laurel was the master of Tyler, there is a chance that Tyler could join hands with her, and that could end badly for Nevermore and the outcasts.
On a more romantic front, we see Wednesday ensnared in a love triangle in the first season, with the fans siding with Enid as a more suitable partner to the eponymous heroine of the play. Speaking to Collider, Emma Myers who is reprising the role of Enid Sinclair provided an insight into her mind and how she thinks the romantic arc of Wednesday should be crafted in the second season, saying:
“Anything is possible in the show. We haven’t really spoken about direction at all, so I don’t really know what the game plan is for anything. As far as love interests go for Wednesday, I feel like at least for a second season, she needs to take her season of singleness. She just had a whole fiasco with her men, she’s got to lay it off for a little bit. I would be deterred from dating anybody if I had gone through that.”
In addition, Collider also contends that “Given the way the season wrapped, it would make sense for Wednesday to go into season 2 single. On the other hand, a relationship between Enid and Wednesday could be a brilliant stroke as well. The pair are polar opposites and Enid hopefully might be able to bring Wednesday out of her shell some more, but it would also go a long way to offer much-needed representation as well.”
