One of Netflix’s most-watched series ever confirms highly-anticipated return date with first look

On Wednesday, it’s been officially announced that the much-awaited second season of the supernatural mystery series featuring Jenna Ortega will be out.

As a devoted fan, I’d express it this way: I can’t contain my excitement about the Netflix series that spins off from the iconic Addams Family! This captivating tale follows Wednesday Addams (Ortega) on her journey to Nevermore Academy, a unique school where ‘monstrous outcasts’ like her thrive. Set in a town shrouded in secrets, I can’t wait to uncover the deadly mysteries it holds!

After breaking records as one of the most watched series on the streaming platform during its debut season in 2022, there has been immense excitement leading up to the second installment. Production for this highly anticipated sequel began last year.

What to Read Next

At long last, fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief as Netflix has officially announced that Wednesday will make its comeback with four episodes starting on 6 August. The second half of the season, containing an additional four episodes, is set to debut on 3 September.

This announcement includes an array of fresh images for the second season, featuring familiar faces like Ortega, Luis Guzman, Joy Sunday, Emma Myers, and Catherine Zeta-Jones, each portraying their respective characters.

The goal here was to maintain the original meaning while using simpler, more conversational language that is easy for a wide audience to understand.

In addition, there’s a picture featuring our guest star, Joanna Lumley, portraying Grandmama, but the latest additions to the cast, including Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Thandiwe Newton, and Lady Gaga, are not visible in these particular frames.

On a Wednesday, the enigmatic figure, Wednesday Addams, makes her return to the eerie corridors of Nevermore Academy, bracing herself for new challenges and tribulations. As the story unfolds, she finds herself entangled in a web of family, allies, and age-old enemies, plunging her into another year filled with intriguing mysteries and quirky chaos.

The summary hints at the fact that Wednesday, known for her quick, biting humor and cool demeanor, finds herself embroiled in a fresh, spine-tingling supernatural enigma. What hidden truths lurk within the town of Jericho?

In addition to his role as an executive producer, Ortega earlier hinted at aspects of the next season, revealing that one standout episode features a ‘slasher’ theme among the forthcoming installments.

As a gamer, I’ve gotta admit, this visual experience has been off the charts fun for us! There’s one particular frame that leaves me speechless. It shows Pugsley with this odd contraption on his head, rolling his eyes back – and it seriously gives me Full Metal Jacket vibes! It’s absolutely insane how captivating it is, so surreal, so bizarre!

It seems to me that the script includes numerous scenes and detailed framing, and one entire episode is inspired by slasher films. We also incorporate many horror references throughout. Consequently, I believe we were given a bit more creative freedom, allowing us to design larger, intricate sequences, which feels quite satisfying.

On August 6th, the first half of Wednesday’s second season will stream on Netflix. The second half will be released on September 3rd.
