Wednesday Season 2 Release Date and Episode Schedule
Get ready for the "Summer of Woe" because Wednesday Season 2 will arrive in two bone-chilling parts:
- Part 1: Episodes 1-4 premiere on Wednesday, August 6, 2025
- Part 2: Episodes 5-8 drop on Wednesday, September 3, 2025

Wednesday Season 2 Plot
If you thought Wednesday's first year at Nevermore Academy was chaotic, buckle up for Year Two. The upcoming season promises to blur the lines between school and family life in the most horrifying way possible – at least from Wednesday's perspective.
The story centers around Wednesday's second year at Nevermore Academy, where she'll face "fresh foes and woes" while navigating a new bone-chilling supernatural mystery. But here's the twist that will make Wednesday's blood boil: her family is coming to campus.
Director Tim Burton teases, "This year, we bring the family to Nevermore. Your family at school is the worst thing possible, isn't it?" For the fiercely independent Wednesday, having her relatives interfere with her academic pursuits is basically her personal nightmare.
The season will be "darker and more complex" according to creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, with Wednesday facing tougher challenges, new dangers, and old enemies returning to settle scores.

What to Expect from Wednesday Season 2?
One of the most intriguing additions is Pugsley Addams joining Nevermore Academy. Isaac Ordonez reveals that his character possesses electrokinesis powers, but struggling to control them while living in his big sister's shadow proves challenging.
"He really wants to fit in, and he really wants a friend, but it's not looking very good," Ordonez explains. Burton adds that "Poor Pugsley, he's kind of an outcast among outcasts this season."
The family dynamics promise to be explosive, particularly between Wednesday and Morticia, who will literally clash with fencing swords this season. The complicated mother-daughter relationship that simmered in Season 1 is set to boil over completely.

Wednesday Season 1 Ending
The ending of Wednesday Season 1 brings a thrilling and emotional climax to the mysteries surrounding Nevermore Academy. After a season-long investigation, Wednesday Addams discovers that the true identity of the monstrous Hyde is Tyler Galpin, the seemingly charming sheriff's son.
Her psychic vision during a kiss confirms his role in the gruesome murders around the school. However, Tyler is not acting alone.
The real mastermind is revealed to be Marilyn Thornhill, a teacher at Nevermore who is actually Laurel Gates—a descendant of Joseph Crackstone. Driven by hatred for outcasts, Laurel uses a chemical to control Tyler’s Hyde transformations and orchestrates a plan to resurrect Crackstone to wipe out all outcasts.
In the final battle, Laurel succeeds in reviving Crackstone, who nearly kills Wednesday. She is saved by the spirit of her ancestor, Goody Addams, who heals her.
With the help of her friends—Enid, who fully transforms into her werewolf form for the first time, Bianca, and Eugene—they confront and defeat Crackstone. Bianca injures him, allowing Wednesday to finish him off.
Laurel is then taken down by Eugene and arrested. As Nevermore Academy closes temporarily for safety, Wednesday receives her first smartphone as a gift from Xavier. But peace is short-lived: she gets ominous texts from a mysterious stalker, and Tyler is seen transforming again, hinting that the danger isn’t over. The finale wraps up the main plotlines while clearly setting the stage for Season 2.
