Wednesday Season 2 Update: Netflix Sets 2024 Production Start Date

Following the end of SAG-AFTRA’s 118-day-long strike, a brand new Wednesday Season 2 update has finally revealed, teasing how long fans will have to wait before the goth comedy returns to the small screen. According to Deadline, Netflix is currently planning to start the production of Wednesday Season 2 in late April 2024. The Jenna Ortega-led coming-of-age series is also moving film locations from Season 1’s Romania to Ireland.

What to expect in Wednesday Season 2?

Wednesday is a coming-of-age supernatural comedy starring Ortega as the titular lead along with Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams, Victor Dorobantu as Thing, Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams, and George Burcea as Lurch. For Season 2, Ortega will also be returning as a producer. In a previous interview, she revealed that the next installment will focus more on the horror aspect, confirming that her character won’t have any love interest in Season 2.

“The series charts the titular heroine’s years as a student at the peculiar Nevermore Academy as she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability,” reads the synopsis, “While also thwarting a monstrous killing spree terrorizing the local town and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships of the strange and diverse student body.”

The series is executive produced and directed by Tim Burton (Beetlejuice, Corpse Bride) in his television directorial debut. Season 1 also starred Gwendoline Christie, Emma Myers, Hunter Doohan, Joy Sunday, Moosa Mostafa, Georgie Farmer, and Percy Hynes White. At the moment, it remains unknown if some of the first season cast members would also be returning, especially when the next installment will shift its focus from the Nevermore school to the Addams Family’s home. Season 1 also featured Golden Globe and Emmy nominee Christina Ricci as Marilyn Thornhill. Ricci famously portrayed Wednesday Addams in the early 90s.
