Over the years, Netflix has built a solid reputation with a collection of iconic series that have captured the hearts of audiences worldwide. Of course, Stranger Things still stands tall as the ultimate flagship of the platform. But there’s another beloved show that’s about to make a grand return – and it’s not the one you might think.
A Long-Awaited Return: Three Years After Season 1, It’s Finally Coming Back
If you’re still sticking with Netflix despite the ever-increasing subscription costs, chances are you’re aware that the service has produced some of the most popular shows of the past few years. While Stranger Things remains the cornerstone of the platform, it’s far from the only success story. Just three years ago, Netflix teamed up with Tim Burton and Jenna Ortega to create Wednesday, a fresh take on the iconic Addams Family character.
This time around, the focus is on Wednesday Addams herself, but the show takes a different approach by placing her away from the familiar family dynamics. Instead, she’s sent off to Nevermore Academy, a school for unique students. The first season, which debuted in November 2022, was a massive hit, and fans were quick to demand more. So, it’s no surprise that Netflix has been working on a highly anticipated second season. However, due to the ongoing strikes by actors and writers, the release of the new season has been delayed for three years. But now, we finally have a date for the return of Wednesday.
The First Teaser for Season 2 of Wednesday Has Dropped
If you’re a fan of the show, you’ll know that the release of season 2 is nothing short of an event. Netflix clearly understands the excitement, which is why they’ve kicked off the promotional campaign by releasing the first teaser… on a Wednesday, of course. In this teaser, we see Jenna Ortega back in her iconic role as Wednesday as she nonchalantly breezes through airport security, weapons in tow, just as we’d expect from the unflappable character.
The trailer also offers glimpses of the rest of the Addams family, the eerie Nevermore Academy, and some of its eccentric students, including Enid Sinclair, Wednesday‘s quirky roommate. But the real headline here is the much-awaited release date for season 2. While many fans expected a Halloween debut, Netflix has opted for late summer to kick off the school year with a bang. The second season will be released in two parts, with the first coming out on August 6 and the second part following on September 3. Interestingly, both release dates fall on a Wednesday – not exactly a coincidence.
At this stage, Netflix has yet to reveal the exact number of episodes in each part, but fans are eagerly awaiting what’s to come.
The upcoming season of Wednesday promises more thrills, spookiness, and dark humor as the iconic character navigates the bizarre world of Nevermore Academy. With the show’s unique mix of mystery, comedy, and supernatural elements, it’s set to continue the success story that started with its first season. Fans can mark their calendars for a delightful return of their favorite goth teenager, ready to take on whatever creepy adventures await her.
