Speaking with ScreenRant's Tatiana Hullender, Isaac Ordonez revealed that "Pugsley has a very deep connection with the main villain." Who this villain could be is still a mystery, although many A-listers are joining the show for season 2 and could be playing this character. Check out Ordonez's comments below:

Sent to study at Nevermore Academy, she becomes embroiled in a murder mystery that sees her put her inherited psychic abilities to good use.

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Millar and Gough teased a number of things to come in Wednesday Season 2, not the least of which is the series leaning into its horror elements.

Wednesday is officially crawling back to your screens — and this time, it’s splitting the chaos. Netflix has confirmed that Wednesday Season 2 will premiere in two parts, with Part 1 landing on August 6 and Part 2 following on September 3.

Yup, this split-drop strategy is becoming a Netflix trend post-Stranger Things 4 and The Witcher.

Since its debut in November 2022, Netflix’s supernatural mystery comedy series Wednesday has captivated audiences worldwide. With its gothic aesthetics, witty storyline, and comedic flair, the series did not take long to become one of the best and most-watched English-language series on the streaming platform.

Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar with the brilliant Jenna Ortega in the lead, four of the eight episodes of the first season were directed by none other than the phenomenal Tim Burton. His visionary genius, coupled with the magnetic presence of Ortega as the titular Wednesday Addams, allowed the show to reign over streaming charts worldwide.

Over the course of season one, the show reimagined the iconic Addams Family franchise with a darkly comedic, mystery-driven narrative set at Nevermore Academy—a boarding school for supernatural outcasts. Soon after, the show earned critical acclaim as well as several accolades that now include two Golden Globe nominations,...

A new member of the Addams Family will be introduced during Wednesday's anticipated second season, and series creators can't wait for fans to meet her. Alfred Gough and Miles Millar recently spoke with Netflix's Tudum about the upcoming season of the hit dark comedy series and what audiences can expect. They also discussed Joanna Lumley's addition to the Tim Burton-directed series. Lumley will portray Morticia's mother, Hester Frump; you can catch a glimpse of her in the trailer below.

Speaking about Lumley, whose iconic portrayal of Patsy Stone in Absolutely Fabulous is beloved and acclaimed, Millar told Tudum:

"The idea of bringing Hester, Morticia's mother, into the fold this season was something we were so excited about. The first day on set when Joanna walked on, she just was Hester, and she nailed every single line, and it's just so delicious. She's perfect and hilarious. That...

Wednesday fans have been waiting patiently – or impatiently in many cases – for the second season of Tim Burton’s reworking of The Addams Family to bring Jenna Ortega’s take on the daughter of Morticia and Gomez Addams back to Netflix. Now, the new season is only several months away – a lifetime, we know – but the hype around the new season has already started, and one person happy to buzz up Season 2 is star Luis Guzmán.

Guzmán follows Raul Julia and Tim Curry in taking on the role of The Addams Family patriarch Gomez, and in many ways his take on the character is much more in line with Charles Addams’ original comic strip character than any of his previous appearances. While speaking to MovieWeb’s George Edelman about his new movie, the Tom Hardy actioner Havoc, Guzmán shared a tease of Wednesday Season 2, noting that everyone is going to...

After the runaway success of Netflix and Tim Burton’s Addams Family stand-alone series Wednesday starring Jenna Ortega, the streamer renewed it for a second season in January 2023.

“Wednesday” Season 2, Part 1 will premiere Aug. 6 on Netflix while Part 2 debuts less than a month later on Sept. 3, the streamer announced Wednesday. The two-part strategy marks a switch-up from last season, when “Wednesday” dropped all eight episodes of its first season on Nov. 23, 2022.

Netflix also unveiled the teaser for Season 2, which sees Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams returning to Nevermore, beginning with a particularly painful Tsa screening, which sees Wednesday unloading a handful of weapons on her person into a bin. The weapons are not what creates a problem for the Tsa agents, however, as Thing slid in some sunscreen that poses an obstacle for the airline.

“Suncream, seriously?” Wednesday scolds Hand in the teaser.

“This is the first time you’ve ever willingly returned to a school,” Catherine Zeta-Jones’ Morticia Addams says in the trailer. “Like returning to the scene of a crime,...

“Wednesday” Season 1 established Jenna Ortega and Tim Burton as a fresh creative duo, but the overwhelming box office success of “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” has proven that their success was far from a fluke. The film has only raised expectations for Season 2 of the “Addams Family”-inspired Netflix series, and a new teaser for the season has given fans their first look at the latest batch of episodes.

Netflix has now revealed that Season 2 of “Wednesday” will be broken into two parts. Part 1 returns on August 6, 2025, and Part 2 returns on September 3.

The first teaser opens with a sequence of Wednesday going through airport security and getting stopped and frisked by a Tsa agent. She unveils an embarrassing number of deadly weapons and torture devices on her person, but her real cardinal sin is Thing bringing along a small tube of sunscreen. It also shows Wednesday returning to Nevermore — the first school she...

After a very long wait, Netflix teases that the press tour for Wednesday Season 2 is about to begin. The series premiered in November 2022, and it's been a long wait until Season 2.

The show's success is undeniable. Based on the beloved Addams Family character, created by Charles Addams, the spin-off series follows Wednesday Addams and her time at Nevermore Academy, a boarding school for children with different supernatural inclinations. Since its Nov. 2022 release, Wednesday has been glued to the No. 1 spot on Netflix's Most Popular Show of all time, with 252.1 million views and 1.7 billion hours viewed. Now, Netflix is starting to ease the fans' suffering with a brand-new poster, and a release date for the first teaser.

Season 2 of the hit Netflix Addams Family series Wednesday started filming in Ireland last May, wrapping production at the end of November. The new episodes will begin streaming sometime in 2025 – and today, Netflix has unveiled a poster for Wednesday season 2 while promising that a teaser trailer will be dropping online tomorrow! You can take a look at the poster at the bottom of this article.

Wednesday comes to us from Millar Gough Ink, Tim Burton Productions, Toluca Pictures, and MGM Television, and is described as a comedic, supernaturally-infused coming-of-age series that follows the teenage girl’s years as a student at Nevermore Academy, where she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the town, and solve a mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new relationships at Nevermore. Snap snap.

Jenna Ortega plays the title character and beyond Wednesday,...

Wednesday is returning for a second season on Netflix, with Jenna Ortega back on the scene as the show's creepy, kooky, and altogether ooky teen detective. She will be joined by several familiar faces from the first season, plus a slew of new series regulars and guest stars, but Nevermore Academy has at least one less student in its ranks this season. Percy Hynes White, who faced sexual assault allegations in 2023, previously confirmed that he wouldn't be returning as Xavier Thorpe for another year and that the series has moved on without him.

White's Xavier Thorpe featured heavily in the first season of Wednesday and was poised to play a significant role in the show's sophomore run, as he was one of Wednesday Addams' two romantic interests, alongside Hunter Doohan's Tyler Galpin, leaving fans to wonder how Season 2 would address the sudden absence of one of its main characters. According to Emma Myers,...
