Wednesday season 2 won’t be arriving anytime soon, but the delay will be easier to handle thanks to Netflix’s new supernatural show.

Based on the beloved Addams Family’s teenage daughter and other elements from Charles Addams’ iconic franchise, Wednesday broke streaming records while becoming one of Netflix’s biggest hits in history. Much of the show’s success revolved around the work of its lead star, Jenna Ortega, who effectively embraced Wednesday’s dark persona and deadpan line delivery, much to the enjoyment of fans. Even with the instant popularity and the inevitable Wednesday season 2 renewal, a delay couldn’t be prevented.  After debuting the supernatural coming-of-age show in November 2022, Wednesday season 2 won’t release until 2025, barring any other unforeseen delays. The second installment was renewed within two months of the show’s initial release, but due to cast schedules and the Hollywood labor strikes, production on season 2 didn’t commence until early 2024.

A three-year gap between seasons isn’t ideal. Still, the anticipation will still be high for the next chapter in Wednesday Addams’ story, especially since Ortega’s stardom keeps growing. While Ortega has her own upcoming releases, Netflix also has an enticing show to watch while waiting for Wednesday’s return.
