Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) returns to explore the gothic halls of Nevermore Academy, where new enemies and new problems await her. In this season, Wednesday must confront family, friends, and old foes, which will plunge her into another year of delightfully dark and strange chaos. Armed with her signature sharp wit and expressionless charm, Wednesday will also dive into a new chilling supernatural mystery. Creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar return with a chilling second season of the series WEDNESDAY, along with executive producer and director Tim Burton.
The series Wednesday, created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, premiered in 2022 and quickly became a record-breaking global phenomenon. It topped the chart of most popular English-language series of all time on Netflix and spent 20 weeks in the global top 10. It is based on characters created by Charles Addams and reimagined for a new generation by creative visionary Tim Burton. The series captivated fans with its witty, unconventional tone and the gothic charm of Wednesday Addams, portrayed by Jenna Ortega. Wednesday sparked huge interest among fans, as Ortega's Instagram following skyrocketed from 9 million to 37 million at the time of the first season's release. The series became a cultural phenomenon, sparking a renaissance in gothic fashion, causing sell-outs of makeup used in the series, and propelling the song "Goo Goo Muck" by The Cramps to a 5,000% increase in streams—four decades after its release. The iconic dance scene inspired millions of TikTok users to create their own versions with Lady Gaga's song "Bloody Mary," leading to an 1,800% increase in streams on Spotify and prompting Lady Gaga to join and perform as a guest star in the second season, which she announced during her captivating performance at Netflix Tudum 2025. The series Wednesday has received worldwide critical acclaim, garnering 50 award nominations and 17 wins, including Emmy®, Golden Globe, and SAG awards. As the franchise expands, its reach extends beyond the screen, thanks to experiential events at Netflix House and creative partnerships with brands such as Wendy’s US, McDonald’s France, Burger King Spain, Nubank LATAM, Cheetos US, and Latin America. The series Wednesday, with its third season already confirmed, returns with the first part of the second season on August 6 and the second part on September 3.
