Is ‘Wednesday’ Season 2 worth your time?

Netflix’s most awaited dysfunctional family series has returned to streaming platform after three years of wait.

Created by Alfred Gough, Miles Millar, and Tim Burton, the Netflix original show is based on the character Wednesday Addams from The Addams Family.

Plot

The series revolves around the titular character Wednesday Addams as she navigates her life at Nevermore Academy, who tries to master her emerging psychic abilities.

In midst of chaos, she not only prevents a monstrous slaughter, but also solves a supernatural mystery connected to her parents' past.

Who is in the cast?

Jenna Ortega plays the titular character Wednesday Addams, Gwendoline Christie as Principal Larissa Weems, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams, Hunter Doohan as Tyler Galpin, and Emma Myers plays the role of Enid Sinclair.

The comedy horror series’ Season 2 returned on Netflix on August 6, following its second part on September 3, 2025.

Since the release of Season 2, a buzz has been created on social media. What is the new series plot about?

Spoiler alert!

Well, the Season 2 picks up where the first season left off, with Wednesday returning to her Nevermore Academy where she faces new challenges including her best friend being kidnapped and supernatural mysteries.

Moreover, the new season also explores Wednesday's relationships with her family members, particularly her mother Morticia.

The brand-new season also introduces several new characters, including Professor Orloff, played by Christopher Lloyd, and Capri, played by Billie Piper.

Interestingly, highly acclaimed singer Lady Gaga has also joined the cast as Rosaline Rotwood, a Nevermore teacher.

According to the Season 2, it promises to be “bigger, bolder, gorier, and a bit darker” with a focus on horror themes.

However, after watching the series, a near three-year delay, for me the series’ Season 2’s decision to focus more on the family dynamics was a smart one.

However, the new season was bit dragged like it just doesn't captivate you much. The Season 2 feels slower and less engaging so far; in short, it’s missing that spark to kept the viewers hooked in Season 1.

Though the main storyline has potential but maybe it has a lot of filler that is just dragging it such as the whole camping scenes of Wednesday defeating the others and winning the Zephyr challenge and saving the day was plainly dragged.

In the end, Wednesday Season 2 is great visually, but overall, it doesn’t have that spark that makes you want to hit next episode right away.
