LOS ANGELES, CA — The much-anticipated second season of ‘Wednesday‘ has returned to Netflix with all four episodes of Part 1 now streaming, and fans can expect more eerie twists when Part 2 launches on September 3.

This season, Wednesday Addams, played by Jenna Ortega, faces a darker and more complex journey at Nevermore Academy as she navigates family dynamics, friendships, and menacing new adversaries.

“This year, we bring the family to Nevermore,” co-showrunner Tim Burton said. “Your family at school is the worst thing possible.” Indeed, Wednesday’s home life collides with her school life, setting the stage for dark comedic moments.

The Addams family members, including Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Gomez (Luis Guzmán), are more present this season, which escalates Wednesday’s resistance to their interference in her life. “It’s exciting to explore this mother-daughter dynamic with someone as incredible as Catherine,” Ortega shared about her character’s relationship with Morticia.

The cast attended the global premiere in London, walking the purple carpet adorned in gothic glam, further fueling excitement for the season. The premiere included a who’s who of stars like Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, and Steve Buscemi.

“This season challenges Wednesday in ways she has never faced before. Nothing is what it seems at Nevermore,” said showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar in a recent interview. “Wednesday believes she knows everything, but her return reveals shocking surprises.”

As the plot unfolds, viewers are treated to insights and new mysteries surrounding the psyche of her closest friends and foes. Ortega’s performance continues to receive accolades for her portrayal of the iconic character balancing charm and chilling undertones.
