Netflix has confirmed that Wednesday Season 2 will be arriving on screens in 2025. However, the streaming platform has not yet announced the exact release date. While the show was renewed back in January 2023, the new season’s production got delayed due to the advent of the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes.
The filming finally began in May 2024 and is expected to be wrapped up in November. The team will then spend the subsequent few months in post-production since the show features a lot of special effects. Wednesday Season 2 will then eventually debut on Netflix sometime in 2025.

The show will explore the further adventures of Wednesday Addams at Nevermore Academy. The teenager is expected to come across some new and deadly supernatural mysteries. While the official plot details have been kept under wraps, Netflix has hinted that there will be more ‘torture’ in season 2.
Meanwhile, Wednesday will continue with her eerie personality, without feeling the need to please people. As the makers have promoted Wednesday’s parents to series regulars in the second season, the story is also likely to delve more into the Addams family members’ story.
What happened in Wednesday Season 1?
The first season followed Wednesday Addams, who was expelled from school for attempting to harm her brother’s bullies. She then joined Nevermore Academy, a school for outcasts, and uncovered a mystery involving a dangerous monster attacking people in the area. While making friends with Enid and Tyler, she had conflicts with students like Bianca and Xavier.
During her investigation, Wednesday initially suspected Xavier and her therapist Dr. Kinbott of being connected to the monster. However, she later found out that Tyler was the monster being controlled by their teacher, Marilyn Thornhill, who was actually Laurel Gates.
Laurel’s plan was to revive Crackstone to destroy the outcasts. In the end, Wednesday and her friends stopped Laurel’s plan, and Enid helped defeat Tyler. The season ended with Wednesday receiving a strange message from a stalker.
Wednesday Season 1 is currently streaming on Netflix.
