‘Wednesday' Season 2 Puts the Freaky Family Front and Center
Wednesday fans are ready for the second season to arrive on Netflix, and a new featurette is revealing that certain members of the Addams Family are getting a more prominent role. Executive producer and director Tim Burton shared in the clip that they are bringing the family to Nevermore, so that move gave writers the opportunity to explore "Addams Family lore." Creator and showrunner Miles Millar explained that "the scope is expanded, in terms of the character arcs, and it's really fun to see them explore a lot more of Nevermore." The "mother-daughter dynamic between Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) and Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) will be featured, along with Gomez (Luis Guzmán) and Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez). "Luis as Gomez Addams is such a great, warm character," noted Millar. "And we see the father-song story evolve over the season," added creator and showrunner Alfred Gough. Burton promised that Ordonez really delivered as Pugsley in Season 2, whom he described as "an outcast among outcasts" this year. He had high praise for the 16-year-old actor, adding, "Isaac did a really beautiful job of capturing the pathos of Pugsley." Ordonez warned, "[Pugsley] wants to fit in, and he really wants a friend. It's not looking very good." Netflix is delivering the show in two parts with Part I dropping Aug. 6 and Part II coming Sept. 3. It's a marketing strategy that has worked well for the streamer when it comes to their bigger hits, including Outer Banks, Bridgerton, Cobra Kai, and Emily in Paris. Wednesday is also getting a spinoff from Netflix revolving around Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen), who will also appear in Season 2.'Wednesday' Season 2 Puts the Freaky Family Front and Center first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 9, 2025

New Season of ‘Wednesday' Is Even Darker Than Before
With a name like 'Nevermore,' it's no wonder Wednesday Addams can never get a moment of peace at school. Netflix just unveiled a new trailer for the second season of Wednesday, the dark comedy series inspired by The Addams Family. Last season, Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) enrolled in Nevermore after a violent incident at her former school. There, she quickly becomes involved in investigating a series of murders committed by a monster who roams the woods surrounding the academy, only to uncover a nefarious plot connected to her family's dark past. This time, Wednesday returns to the academy as a celebrated hero (much to her annoyance). At first, the semester kicks off relatively calmly. But when Wednesday's psychic abilities start showing her dreams of her roommate, Enid Sinclair's (Emma Meyers) death—and it seems to be all her fault—Wednesday must face new and old foes alike to stop the tragedy before it's too late. 'Secrets are the bedrock of the Addams family,' Wednesday says in the trailer, as the dramatic main theme from the Phantom of the Opera musical plays over her narration. 'The sooner I get answers, the sooner I can save Enid… Or die trying.' Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, known for their work on Smallville and Tim Burton's Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the show sees the return of Luis Guzmán, Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Fred Armisen, and Hunter Doohan. There will also be new season regulars, including Anthony Michael Hall, Billie Piper, and Steve Buscemi. After nearly a three-year break, fans of the show couldn't be more thrilled for season two to finally premiere. And from the looks of the trailer, there is a lot to get excited about. Wednesday and Enid seem awfully 'close.' As one viewer pointed out, 'Wednesday's no longer fighting weirdo allegations but gay girl kisser wlw lesbian allegations.' Then, there is the whole, 'I will die trying to save you' thing. ''Enid dies and it's all my fault.' THE PAINN IN HER EYES OH WEDNESDAY,' an X user commented. Others are looking forward to the return of the older Addams family members, like the queen herself, Morticia Addams (Zeta-Jones). Part one will hit the streaming platform on Aug. 6, with part two arriving on Sep. 3, giving everyone the perfect 'spooky' start to the autumn season.
