Wednesday Season 2 is right around the corner, releasing in two parts, the first coming out on 6th August and the second part releasing on 3rd September 2025. The show's first season arrived on a Wednesday, and both parts of Wednesday Season 2 are arriving on two Wednesdays.
The first season set a tradition by premiering on a Wednesday, a clever reference to the show’s title and lead character, Wednesday Addams. Now, Netflix is taking that tradition forward by dropping both parts of season two on Wednesdays as well.
Wednesday Season 2 comes out on two Wednesdays!
The first season of Wednesday became the most-streamed show on Netflix and is still at the top. It is safe to say that Wednesday Season 2 is much-awaited. Viewers have been eagerly waiting to see more creepy adventures with Wednesday Addams.
Netflix has confirmed that Wednesday Season 2 will launch in two parts this year, both parts releasing on a Wednesday. Choosing Wednesdays as the release day is clever marketing. Most Netflix originals release on Thursdays or Fridays, close to the weekend, when content is streamed the most. Many might think that releasing the second season mid-week might lower its viewership, but that will most likely not happen given the show's popularity.
Wednesday has been the most-streamed show on Netflix for quite some time. Irrespective of when Wednesday Season 2 is released, fans will rush to stream it immediately. Besides, Netflix released the trailer for the second season on 23rd April, 2025, while the release is not till August. That alone has built quite the momentum. The suspense, excitement, and popularity of the show are enough to make sure the upcoming season is a success.
Given that season one was released in November, and the show's usual creepy and gothic nature, many expected an October or November release for Wednesday Season 2. But the show is releasing in the summer, way before fall or Halloween.
While there might be other internal reasons behind this decision, it can prove to be a smart move by Netflix. By dropping Wednesday Season 2 right before fall and when fewer big shows are releasing, it gives the series more time to stay on top of the streaming charts.
Jenna Ortega is returning as Wednesday Addams. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán will return as Wednesday's parents, Morticia and Gomez Addams, along with Isaac Ordonez as her brother Pugsley. Emma Myers will also reprise her role as Enid, Wednesday’s friend and roommate.
Wednesday Season 2 is going to be much darker than Season 1. As creator Miles Millar tells Tudum by Netflix,
''Nothing is what it seems in Season 2,”
He continues,
“Wednesday goes into this season thinking she knows Nevermore. It’s the first time she’s returned to a school willingly. But as soon as she gets back, nothing happens that she’s expecting. She thinks she’s going to be in control, that she knows where all the bodies are buried, and she doesn’t.”
Wednesday Season 2, part one arrives on 3rd August and part two on 6th September 2025, only on Netflix.
