Wednesday Season 2: Nevermore Academy's Dark Return in 2025

Get ready to snap your fingers twice, because Wednesday is coming back to haunt your screens! Netflix's smash hit series is gearing up for a sophomore year at Nevermore Academy, and it's promising to be darker, quirkier, and more twisted than ever.

During Netflix's Geeked Week event, fans got their first glimpse of Wednesday Season 2 through a tantalizing teaser. The clip showcased the return of our favorite outcasts, with Jenna Ortega leading the pack as the delightfully deadpan Wednesday Addams.

Star-Studded Return to Nevermore

The teaser wasn't just about Wednesday, though. We caught sight of the whole gang back on set:

Catherine Zeta-Jones, bringing her A-game as Morticia Addams

Emma Myers, ready to light up the screen as Enid Sinclair

Joy Sunday, reprising her role as Bianca Barclay

Luis Guzmán, once again embodying Gomez Addams

And of course, Victor Dorobantu as the scene-stealing Thing

From Wednesday's iconic stoic arrival at campus to a gathering of Nevermore students, the teaser hints at the eerie adventures awaiting us in Season 2.

Bigger, Darker, and More Twisted

Catherine Zeta-Jones set the tone for what's to come, teasing that the new season will be "bigger and more twisted than you can imagine." Not to be outdone, Jenna Ortega delivered a perfectly Wednesday-esque comment: "If we showed any more, your eyes would bleed. And I'm not that generous."

Behind the Scenes

Creators Al Gough and Miles Millar are back at the helm, with filming kicking off in Ireland this past May. Tim Burton, the mastermind behind the series' unique aesthetic, is returning to the director's chair, ensuring that the show's signature style remains intact.

New Faces and Departures

Season 2 is shaking things up with some fresh blood:

Steve Buscemi

Billie Piper

Evie Templeton

Owen Painter

Noah Taylor

However, fans should note that Percy Hynes White (Xavier Thorpe) and Naomi J. Ogawa (Yoko Tanaka) won't be returning for the second season.

What to Expect

Jenna Ortega has hinted that Season 2 will dial up the horror elements, with each episode feeling like its own mini-movie. While Wednesday's core character remains unchanged, Ortega promises that the storyline will evolve in exciting new directions.

After some initial script concerns, Ortega has expressed satisfaction with the new season's writing, suggesting that fans are in for a treat.

A Netflix Priority

Following the record-breaking success of its first season, Wednesday has become a top priority for Netflix. The streaming giant is reportedly backing the second season with an increased budget, aiming to capitalize on the show's massive popularity.

While the exact release date is still under wraps, Netflix has confirmed that Wednesday Season 2 will premiere in 2025. That might seem like a long wait, but if it's anything like the first season, it'll be well worth it.
