Jenna Ortega will return to continue her Nevermore adventures with Wednesday Season 2. An Addams Family spin-off, the Netflix series has been renewed for the second installment, which will unfurl new spooky details related to the life of Wednesday Addams, with potential surprise appearances from more characters from the 1964 television series.
Wednesday Season One, which premiered on Netflix on November 23, 2022, with eight episodes, managed to surpass Stranger Things by garnering 341.23 million hours viewed in its first week, to become the most-watched English-language series in that time frame on the streaming giant.

After a long and what seemed like an agonizing wait for fans, new details related to the upcoming installment have been unlocked, and today we are rounding off everything we know about it so far.
