Wednesday season 2 is officially around the corner, Outcasts. In late 2022, everyone’s favorite sadistic big sis finally got her own TV series with Netflix’s Wednesday. The streamer’s live-action series, all about Wednesday Addams of the Addams Family, came straight from the deliciously twisted mind of Tim Burton, becoming one of the most popular series in mere weeks. Since then, the countdown for season 2 has been on.
21-year-old Jenna Ortega is the latest actress to step into the black-and-white attire of Wednesday Addams, and her modern version of the character can definitely brush shoulders with Yellowjackets star Christina Ricci’s beloved, iconic portrayal of Wednesday from the early ‘90s. The gothic, death-obsessed teen and her macabre-loving family are back in the spotlight, and we truly can’t get enough.
If you’ve watched season 1 of Netflix’s Wednesday, you know that by the finale in episode eight, we receive many satisfying — and TBH, shocking — answers to the mysteries Wednesday is wrapped up in for the season’s entire arc, but we’re left with a lot of questions, too. No spoilers, but… will Tyler return after escaping custody? Is Wednesday still in danger? Who sent her that stalker-like text message? What will happen to Nevermore now that Principal Weems is dead?
Is there a trailer and poster for Wednesday season 2?
At Netflix Tudum 2025: The Live Event on Saturday, May 31, the streamer unveiled the first six minutes of Wednesday season 2 episode 1. Directly after the new teaser aired, Wednesday season 2 guest star Lady Gaga performed a mashup of “Zombieboy,” “Bloody Mary,” and “Abracadabra,” coming straight out of a coffin emblazoned with the words: Here Lies the Monster Queen. You can watch the first six minutes of the upcoming second season above.
Netflix unveiled the official poster for Wednesday season 2 on April 22, 2025, ahead of the first official teaser trailer. The poster, which you can see above, shows Wednesday crying black tears while tied to a chair with Thing on her shoulder. “The wait has been torture,” the poster reads.
On April 23, 2025, the streamer released the first official teaser for Wednesday season 2 set to an eerie version of “My Favorite Things” from The Sound of Music. The teaser begins with Wednesday, clad in all black, undergoing a security check at Newark Airport. As she passes the metal detector, we hear a beep, and it’s time for our titular sardonic to put her metal items aside — we are taking brass knuckles, flails, and machetes, not keys and coins. But what gets her stopped by TSA? Thing’s sunscreen.
In the next scene, we see the Addams family return to Jericho with Pugsley as a Nevermore student. We then see Wednesday reuniting with Enid in their dorm before all hell breaks loose — courtesy of some very creepy dolls. “Wherever there’s murder and mayhem, you will always find an Addams,” Wednesday’s voice proclaims. “Every family has secrets, Wednesday,” her mom replies, “and secrets can have deadly consequences.” And yes, that’s Tyler back in his monster form confronting Wednesday. Wild ride, indeed.
Are there any pictures or peeks at Wednesday season 2?
Yes! On May 20, Netflix released a new behind-the-scenes featurette that teases Wednesday season 2, featuring creator and showrunner duo Miles Millar and Alfred Gough and director Tim Burton, as well as much of the new and returning cast. The featurette revealed just how much more of the Addams Family we’ll get to see this season as they join Wednesday at Nevermore.
“There really isn’t a lot of Addams family lore, so we wanted to delve deeper into the family,” says Gough in the new video. “The scope has expanded in terms of character arcs,” added Millar.
And in terms of the murder and the mystery that kept season 1’s plot churning? Oh, season 2 has lots in store for us. “Season 2 has everything people loved about season 1,” Hunter Doohan, who plays Tyler, chimed in. “It’s kind of like we’ve turned the dial up on everything.” Gough wholeheartedly agrees: “We were able to top the mystery of season 1.” Watch the full featurette for yourself below:
Previously, Netflix announced the end of filming in December 2024 with a first-look pic of Jenna Ortega as Wednesday in season 2. In the pic, Ortega is seen with the character’s trademark braided pigtails and impeccable curtain bangs, wearing a crisp collared white shirt with black opal buttons under a long-sleeved black dress and matching tights with a short black manicure to boot. She appears to be in the middle of what looks like a graveyard, flanked by two Grim Reaper-like cloaked figures holding out lamps instead of scythes. (What is our girl up to this year at Nevermore? Surely no good!)
To coincide with the release of the first trailer in April 2025, the streamer released a new batch of photos teasing what’s to come, some of which correspond to moments in the trailer, including our first glimpse of Steve Buscemi as Barry Dort and Joanna Lumley as Grandmama.

You can see the pic below:

Back in January 2025, we got another glimpse at the Wednesday season 2 via Netflix’s Hero 2025 video. At around the 1:20 minute mark, we get a flash vision that shows Tyler Galpin (played by Hunter Doohan) imprisoned at Willow Hill. The short clip sees Tyler shirtless and handcuffed to the wall of his cell as Wednesday seemingly enters the room to confront him, wearing a stunning cape coat over a crisp white shirt with a black tie because she’s Wednesday, after all.
Previously, on September 19, 2024, Netflix released the first behind-the-scenes look at the second season in celebration of the platform’s Geeked Week 2024. “Hello, my little storm cloud,” Luis Guzmán says to kick off the video, in full character as Wednesday’s father, Gomez Addams. Viewers are then welcomed to the set of season 2 by Guzmán, Emma Myers, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Thing, and Joy Sunday.
“This season is going to be bigger and more twisted than you could ever imagine,” Zeta-Jones promises as we see Tim Burton commanding the set. There’s so much to pause and unpack throughout the BTS video, including a scene in which Wednesday says “FIGHT!” with a thrusting fist in the air, onstage at what seems to be some kind of rally. Check out the full video for yourself below.
When will Wednesday season 2 be released on Netflix?
With the release of the first teaser trailer, Netflix announced that Wednesday season 2 will be released in two parts in summer 2025. Part 1 will be released on August 6, 2025, and Part 2 will follow suit on September 3, 2025.
Netflix confirmed that Wednesday season 2 had officially begun production in Ireland in May 2024; Deadline had previously reported that Wednesday would be moving its filming location from its previous locale of Romania due to “logistical challenges.” On December 4, 2024, Netflix confirmed that production for Wednesday season 2 had officially wrapped.
