Watch: Wednesday season 2 episode guide, titles, and release dates revealed

Jenna Ortega is stepping back into the iconic black-and-white shoes of Wednesday Addams, as the darkly whimsical Netflix series returns for its highly awaited second season this August. The gothic teen drama, inspired by the beloved Addams Family character, made waves when it debuted in 2022 — quickly becoming a global streaming hit and cementing Ortega as a breakout star.

Now, fans are bracing for another chapter of spooky intrigue and supernatural suspense, with the peculiar charm that made the first season a cultural phenomenon.

Recapping Season 1: Murder, Mayhem, and a Psychic Teen Sleuth

Season 1 introduced audiences to Nevermore Academy — a mysterious boarding school where outcasts, including vampires, werewolves, and sirens, hone their unique abilities. It’s here that Wednesday Addams is reluctantly enrolled by her parents, Morticia and Gomez, both alumni of the eerie institution.

Soon after arriving, Wednesday finds herself at the center of a chilling murder mystery. A series of gruesome attacks near the school coincides with her arrival, and she begins experiencing psychic visions tied to the unfolding violence. Refusing to remain a passive observer, Wednesday plunges into the case, determined to uncover the identity of the killer.

Along the way, she forms an unlikely friendship with her sunny roommate, Enid Sinclair, a young werewolf trying to come into her own. She also grows close to Xavier Thorpe, a fellow student with artistic powers, and Tyler Galpin, a local barista with secrets of his own.

As the season progresses, Wednesday’s visions deepen, the stakes rise, and alliances shift, culminating in a final showdown that reveals dark truths hidden beneath the surface of Nevermore.

Season 2: A Hero Returns, But With a Haunting New Vision

Premiering August 6, 2025, Season 2 picks up as a new semester begins at Nevermore Academy. Following her success in solving last season’s deadly mystery, Wednesday has become something of a campus legend — though she’s far from thrilled by the sudden spotlight.

Her return to the academy brings more than just whispers of admiration. This year, she’s joined by her younger brother, Pugsley Addams, who has now enrolled at Nevermore. With him around, Wednesday faces new responsibilities as both a sister and a reluctant role model.

But her unease isn’t limited to family duties or fame. Once again, she begins experiencing psychic visions — and this time, they point to a terrifying future. Among the most disturbing glimpses is a haunting image of Enid’s death, forcing Wednesday to confront the possibility of losing the person closest to her.

As danger looms and secrets multiply, Wednesday must navigate a maze of betrayal, supernatural threats, and emotional turmoil — all while staying true to her unapologetically macabre self.

Release Schedule: What to Expect From the New Episodes

Season 2 of Wednesday is set to feature eight new episodes, divided into two parts to heighten the suspense.
