After nearly two years, Wednesday Season 2 finally arrives on Netflix today, August 6, 2025, sparking excitement for the new season and dramatically boosting viewership for Season 1, which climbs back to the top of global streaming charts.
As people revisit the spooky halls of Nevermore Academy, binge-watching both out of nostalgia and anticipation, Season 1 is trending worldwide on Netflix and within fan communities alike.
Release of season 2: Officially launched on August 6, 2025
Season 2 premiered after a lengthy shoot that shifted from Romania to Ireland. Jenna Ortega returns as Wednesday Addams, along with familiar faces and newcomers causing trouble at Nevermore. The new setting offers a fresh aesthetic that complements the dark and suspenseful vibe of the series.
Netflix built anticipation with a carefully timed promotion campaign, including mysterious teasers, behind-the-scenes exclusives, and cast interviews. Although the full trailer was released in late July, fan theories had already been spreading across the internet and TikTok for weeks beforehand.
Season 1's historic milestone
Released in November 2022, Wednesday Season 1 became a global sensation within its first 28 days, accumulating over 1.2 billion hours watched, making it the second most-watched English-language show on Netflix after Stranger Things 4.
The viral dance scene choreographed by Ortega sparked a pop culture phenomenon, and the dark humor combined with the mystery kept audiences captivated enough to watch the series again and again.
What's in store for Season 2
Season 2 deepens Nevermore's gothic world with a more mature and serialized tone. The creators promised less love triangles and more character growth and supernatural battles. Wednesday will face new foes, uncover deeper mysteries, and encounter even stranger twists, all while keeping that deadpan cool.
Fan engagement before Season 2
Before Season 2 dropped, Wednesday was trending worldwide across platforms. Although it didn’t hit the top of the official US streaming charts in July, excitement for Season 1 surged on Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, and Netflix watchlist trends. Netflix's strategic re-release of Season 1 through homepage features and curated lists re-ignited interest.
With Season 2 now available on the stream, early viewing activity will continue to boost both seasons. If the trend persists, Wednesday could return to the top of the streaming charts next week when new figures are released.
