Wednesday 

Among Netflix’s biggest releases in 2025 is the second season of its Jenna Ortega-led Addams Family dramedy Wednesday. When the show kicked off in 2023, it quickly became one of the biggest Netflix originals to ever hit the platform and shot Ortega’s career to a whole new level. So it goes without saying that this is a can’t-miss series coming in 2025! 

Interestingly, little is known about the second season as Netlfix has been keeping fans in the dark about everything from the season’s plot to the cast but that hasn’t diminished the excitement fans have for season 2 in any way! In fact, the lack of spoilers about the season has only helped to create more buzz as fans are eager to see what adventures await Wednesday in season 2 as she continues her studies. 

There has been a promise that we’ll get to see more of Wednesday’s relationships with her family members including mom Morticia, and we are so excited about the promise of getting more scenes between Ortega and Catherine Zeta-Jones in the new season. It’s also been teased that the second season will lean more into the horror elements of the show while dropping some of the romantic aspects featured within season 2, which definitely has us intrigued and excited. 

Add in the fact that Lady Gaga is rumored to be joining the cast as well and you have the making for what is sure to be another incredible season! 

Wednesday season 2 is coming to Netflix sometime in 2025.
