The second season of Wednesday unfurls once more on Netflix, enveloped in a hazy violet veil and accompanied by an eerie melody, punctuated distinctly with a ‘click-clack.’
Instead of Victor Dorobantu’s double clicks, the new season starts with a much darker introduction – Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) is found bound and gagged inside a house belonging to a suspected serial killer. We won’t reveal too much to avoid spoilers, but trust us, the surprises ahead are worth the wait!
On Wednesday, I found myself utterly captivated by season one’s brilliant debut. It skillfully reintroduced the Addams family in a refreshing and endearing manner, humanizing their otherworldly nature in a way that drew me closer to them. The narrative of the storytelling was both innovative and engaging, weaving together a compelling coming-of-age tale infused with an intriguing murder-mystery twist.
The portrayal offered a deeply layered interpretation of the gloomy offspring of darkness, providing Wednesday ample room to transcend her longing for isolation. Surprisingly, Wednesday found herself empathizing with others. As she grappled with raw, strange feelings that seemed almost *repugnant*… love.
As I delved deeper into my gaming world, a unique bond began to form – particularly with Emma Myers’ character, Enid. Over time, this connection transformed my once cold, inky heart into something softer, more like smoldering charcoal.
In the second season, I must admit, I thought it would follow the familiar pattern. Yet, here comes Wednesday, as captivating as ever, engrossed in a fresh and tantalizing murder mystery. Just like how I underestimated Wednesday’s character development with her mother, I was wrong to assume this season wouldn’t surprise me.
In the second season, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, the masterminds behind Wednesday, take things to a whole new level, surpassing even the highest expectations. The ongoing transformation of Wednesday is indeed the heart of its triumph.
In the first season, Wednesday’s emotions mirrored the effects of her circumstances. Her presence at Nevermore Academy and interactions with new individuals brought about a transformation in her. This current season delves deeper into her personal growth.
As a gamer, I don’t just live through the story, my emotions are what fuel the narrative. And let me tell you, the tale unfolding before me is not only captivating but also incredibly enjoyable.
The trailer has already hinted at the central theme of the season: On Wednesday, a premonition reveals not just that Enid will perish, but also that Wednesday is the one who causes her demise.
Due to her naturally obsessive nature, Wednesday devotes herself to safeguarding Enid and averting the impending event. As this story unfolds, her dedication deepens even further.
Beyond the apparent tale of Enid and Wednesday, there’s a deeper mystery unfolding in this fresh case. Hidden secrets are emerging, and the gory deaths only serve to uncover additional layers to Wednesday’s predicament. However, this season carries a heavier weight due to Wednesday’s underlying anxiety about Enid’s safety. As a result, the implications of each event feel significantly more significant.
In this new season, it’s not just Enid’s situation that adds depth to Wednesday; her family also plays a significant role in the storyline. This exposure highlights a more delicate side of Wednesday, especially in her interactions with her mother. She encounters situations where she is tested and defied, which is unusual for Wednesday, causing a sense of unease within her.
The tender feelings contrast sharply with a persona typically linked to frostiness and solitude. It seems almost blasphemous, even twisted, to delve into this renowned character’s psyche so deeply, yet Gough and Millar have given her room to reveal her vulnerabilities without diluting the darkness that defines her as Wednesday.
This season, Wednesday isn’t the only Addams family member who steals the spotlight. Isaac Ordonez’s portrayal of Pugsley has an unexpected charm this time around, as his character develops more depth. While being an outcast among outcasts isn’t a novel idea, Ordonez brings a delicate and endearing quality to the character, subtly incorporating that classic Addams quirkiness we all appreciate.
Joanna Lumley’s portrayal of her grandmother character is not only spot-on but also adds an extra layer of mystery to the storyline. It was already clear that she would bring something special to the role, and she certainly doesn’t disappoint. Her performance is captivating, adding depth to the family dynamics without resorting to cheap tricks or gimmicks.
Although the show tries something new by incorporating genre twists into familiar phrases, some of these attempts feel less creative and more stale, like Morticia Addams’ (Catherine Zeta-Jones) spider cookies (“no point in crying over spilled ashes”). The show could communicate more subtly and leave room for interpretation in the dialogues between characters, rather than explicitly stating everything.
Despite some minor flaws, Wednesday continues to shine brighter than its mistakes. The pace of this season is well-timed and intense, mirroring Wednesday’s desperation, compelling viewers to remain engaged.
In the same vein, Nevermore seems more vibrant and inhabited. The stage decorations and clothing seem more substantial, as if they’re narrating the tale rather than merely serving as a background.
Netflix has divided the release into two segments, much like the series “Wednesday,” implying that we might not find the answers to our burning questions right away. But let me assure you, this strategy seems quite effective for keeping us hooked.
The manner in which the series skillfully combines intrigue and tension to create an exhilarating cauldron of anticipation will undoubtedly leave viewers yearning for more. In other words, the suspense is as agonizing as a vindictive hump day, indicating they’ve nailed it perfectly.
Right now, you can stream seasons one and two’s first part of “Wednesday” over on Netflix. On September 3rd, 2025, we’ll finally get to see part 2 of season 2!
