Netflix’s hit series Wednesday is back, and so far the second season is fantastic – except for one small detail. Only half of the season is out on Netflix, leaving viewers with just four episodes and a major cliffhanger. Mild spoilers follow.
The new season brings our hero, Wednesday Addams (played by Jenna Ortega), back to Nevermore Academy where she finds herself the center of a great deal of unwanted attention. The students and staff all consider her a hero for saving the day in Season 1, when she stopped Miss Thornhill (Christina Ricci) and the Hyde from carrying out their dastardly plan.
Here’s everything you need to know about Wednesday Season 2 and its cast of oddball characters.
Things get worse in the second season. Wednesday finds herself surrounded by admirers, including the new administrator, Principal Dort (Steve Buscemi) and to make matters worse, her family is all at Nevermore also. This includes her younger brother, Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez), her mother Morticia (Catherine Zeta Jones) and her father Gomez (Luis Guzman).
Of course, there are also murders. With her psychic powers gone, Wednesday is in quite a pickle, and things ramp up considerably in the fourth episode when she goes to uncover the mystery she’s been trying to solve at the Willow Hill asylum. By the end of Season 2, Part 1 things are looking more dire than ever . . . so of course that’s when the season ends (for now) and our wait for Season 2, Part 2 begins.
The second half of the season will also include four episodes. With quite a few characters dead, the cast will be introducing some new faces, including Lady Gaga’s mysterious character, Rosaline Rotwood.
Season 2, Part 2 lands on Netflix on September 3rd at 12 am PT / 3 am ET. All four episodes will be available, and no other episodes (that we know of) are planned until Season 3, which has already been renewed by Netflix. This means we have just under a month to wait for more episodes of the show. What will happen now that all hell has broken loose at the asylum? We’ll just have to wait a bit longer to find out.
