Fans of Netflix’s Wednesday have been eagerly awaiting news about Season 2, and now, the excitement is building even more thanks to Jenna Ortega’s latest reveal.
Ortega, who stars as the iconic Wednesday Addams, shared some thrilling updates that will get fans buzzing as they anticipate the return of the Addams Family spin-off.
Ortega has rapidly risen to Hollywood stardom, with her portrayal of the morose but captivating Wednesday being a major highlight. However, the journey to Season 2 has had its share of challenges, from behind-the-scenes delays to rumors of a major character exit.
Despite this, Ortega’s recent interview hints at some familiar elements making a return, promising fans a season that could outshine the first.
A Musical Surprise for Wednesday Fans
In an exclusive interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Jenna Ortega revealed that fans can expect more cello performances from her character, Wednesday, in the upcoming season.
Ortega, who has shown a strong commitment to her role, mentioned filming a cello scene just weeks ago, and teased that there would be several more such moments in Season 2.
“We’re shooting the second season right now,” Ortega shared. “I think it was maybe two weeks ago that I pulled a good portion of my hair out for a cello piece. We shot that one-and-done, and then we’re moving on to the next one, so I am currently playing — never said I was good!”
This reveal comes after Ortega’s impressive cello scene in the first season, where her character played The Rolling Stones’ Paint It Black in a hauntingly beautiful performance on her balcony.
The fact that more musical moments are in store for Season 2 is sure to delight fans who loved the unique gothic style the show embraced.
What to Expect in Season 2 of Wednesday
Season 1 of Wednesday ended on a high note with the title character saving Nevermore Academy by defeating both Marilyn Thornhill and Tyler.
As we look ahead to Season 2, there are still plenty of unanswered questions, particularly around the fate of Tyler and what’s next for Nevermore Academy.
Additionally, with Xavier Thorpe’s character being written out due to off-screen controversies, the storyline can potentially explore brand new plotlines and relationships. Fans will be excited to know that Season 2 promises to dive deeper into Wednesday’s family dynamics.
Gomez, Morticia, and other members of the Addams family, who appeared briefly in two episodes of the first season, are expected to play much larger roles this time around.
The actors behind these iconic characters have reportedly been upgraded to series regulars, suggesting that their presence will be a significant part of the storyline.
When Will Season 2 Release?
Although filming for Season 2 began in May 2024, there’s still quite a wait ahead for fans. While a 2024 release is unlikely due to production timelines, it’s expected that the new season may arrive in mid-2025, with Netflix possibly aiming for a Halloween season release to match the show’s dark, gothic tone.
Until then, fans can binge-watch Season 1 of Wednesday on Netflix and anticipate more updates as the show’s production moves forward.
