Wednesday Season 2 Launches with Fresh Mysteries and a Star-Studded UK Premiere
The wait for Wednesday's return is over. Netflix has launched Wednesday Season 2 Part 1, dropping the first set of new episodes on August 6, 2025. This time, the story splits into two chunks, with Part 2 scheduled to release on September 3. So fans in the UK and beyond will have to temper their excitement—no midnight binge of the entire season just yet. This split-release approach matches Netflix’s recent pattern with other hit shows, thinking Stranger Things and The Witcher. It keeps viewers talking and speculating for weeks between parts.
Wednesday Addams, played by Jenna Ortega, comes back with her signature deadpan charm, darker than ever but a little more popular among her Nevermore Academy classmates. The new crop of episodes wastes no time unsettling the status quo. Nevermore Academy seems even more dangerous, especially with fresh threats targeting Wednesday's friend Enid. There’s more playful yet gruesome humor, like Wednesday mockingly insisting she’ll only give autographs if it’s 'in blood.' It’s the kind of joke only this show can pull off, making viewers laugh and cringe at the same time.
The family dynamic also gets more attention this time. It’s not just Wednesday playing detective and outsmarting her enemies—her parents Morticia and Gomez (Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán) get involved with their own mysteries and quirks. Morticia's sharp wit bounces off Gomez’s warmth, and we get to see even more of what makes Wednesday tick, and how being an Addams is a complicated badge to wear, even for her.
The UK Premiere Event and the Show's Growing Hype
Netflix rolled out the black carpet for a flashy UK premiere on July 30 in London. Both Jenna Ortega and Catherine Zeta-Jones showed up for the event, with fans crowding the venue for a peek at the stars. The energy at the premiere pointed to just how massive the show's following has become, not just in the US but across Europe.
People aren’t just watching for the mystery plots or the spooky visuals—they’re hooked on the bizarre mix of family, friendship, and the weird ways Wednesday relates to everyone around her. Nevermore itself is a character: eerie, unpredictable, and filled with secrets just itching to be solved. This season brings in new faces and some familiar ones, layering more tension and humor on every side of the supernatural chaos. It's the blend of laughs, scares, and clever twists that keeps fans coming back.
If you’ve already blown through Part 1, hang tight—September 3 will arrive quickly enough, and there's plenty of buzz about how Wednesday will tackle the new threats and handle her creeping fame. Until then, rewatch those sharp one-liners, and keep an eye out for blink-or-you’ll-miss-them clues that only Wednesday Addams would notice.
