Wednesday has officially been renewed for Season 2. “We can't wait to dive headfirst into another season and explore the kooky, spooky world of Nevermore,” Wednesday Season 1 co-showrunners Miles Millar and Alfred Gough exclusively told
Rumours suggested Prime Video might, following Amazon's merger with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), which is the production company that makes Wednesday for Netflix. But none of that ended up being true. Netflix has confirmed it will stream Wednesday season two.
FIRED: Percy Hynes (Xavier Thorpe) won't be returning for Wednesday Season 2. “We take all allegations of misconduct seriously and conducted a thorough investigation into the matter,” said the anonymous insider. “Based on the findings of our investigation, we have decided to part ways with Percy Hynes White.
Where is Wednesday Season 2 coming out? Wednesday Season 2 is anticipated to come out on Netflix in mid-late 2024. In season 1, we saw the mysterious adventures of Wednesday Addams while attending the Nevermore Academy as she attempted to master her emerging psychic ability.
Created with Sketch. Wednesday has been renewed for a second season by Netflix, but following some troubling allegations, one of its lead actors may not be returning. Percy Hynes White has been accused of sexual assault in a series of tweets published this week by Twitter user @milkievich.
Wednesday season 2 is happening
After several months of waiting with very little news about Wednesday season 2, Netflix finally renewed Wednesday for season 2 in early January 2023. If any Netflix show were a slam dunk to be renewed, Wednesday was that show.
In season 1, episode 7 of Wednesday, "If You Don't Woe Me By Now," fans learn that Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan), is the Hyde monster. While Wednesday is one of the best horror TV characters, Tyler is great too, as he takes an interest in her and seems to understand her in a way that no one else does.
To the relief of fans around the world, Wednesday was renewed for a second season in early 2023. And in Season 2, Ortega's role will be bigger than ever. Not only will she return as Wednesday Addams, but she is also a producer on the next season.
More Wednesday is on the horizon—and season two will include a new member of the Addams Family. In a video released as part of Netflix's June 2023 Tudum fan event, series star Jenna Ortega and costars Hunter Doohan, Emma Myers, and Joy Sunday responded to fans' theories about the forthcoming season two.
Now, Netflix has officially renewed the show for a second season. "It's been incredible to create a show that has connected with people across the world," showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar said in a statement. "Thrilled to continue Wednesday's tortuous journey into season two.
We know for a fact Tyler is not the type of evil he's been painted as being, which raises the issue of whether Wednesday season 2 will allow for his redemption. On one hand, Tyler may be saved if he manages to overcome what has been done to him and is shown to be a better person than we thought during the first season.
Wednesday Addams is a typically young girl (in the original series, she is about six, in the two original movies and animated movies, she is 13, in the Netflix series, she is 15 and 16) who is obsessed with death and is described as brilliant, with a penchant for doing odd scientific experiments.
Laurel used a plant chemical to brainwash Tyler slowly but surely to be able to mentally weaken him, eventually reveling to Tyler that he and his mother were Hydes. Tyler also discovered that his mother died because the Nevermore Academy doesn't accept Hydes and doesn't teach them how to control their powers.
Miss Marylin Thornhill (Christina Ricci) is able to unlock Tyler's Hyde instincts by being the first person to tell him the truth about his mother, As the botany professor at Nevermore, she knows how to solidify the bond through a plant derivative which produces the same chemical reaction as proscribed in the diaries.
This representation (or lack thereof) parallels the disturbing lack of research on and acceptance of autistic people assigned female at birth in real life. While Wednesday is not explicitly autistic, she is certainly neurodivergent-coded and many autistics, including me, relate to her. She is sharp and talented.
The worldwide phenomenon, Squid Game, is returning for a second season on Netflix. However, we'll be waiting until at least Fall or Christmas 2024 before we see the series return. Filming is set to reportedly set to start in July 2023 and is expected to last for at least ten months.
The fan-favorite series has yet to be officially greenlit for a second season — and on January 3, The Independent reported that its fate of returning to Netflix was up in the air because its production company, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), inked a major deal with another streaming service.
Though Xavier obviously cared about Wednesday and tried to remain friends with her following the first accusations, there was no romantic connection between them.
Since then, they appear to have formed a friendship. Xavier seems to have a crush on Wednesday, although he never admits it to anyone, including himself, but he couldn't help feeling very jealous and angry after seeing her go to the school dance with Tyler.
Wednesday does not end up with Xavier in Wednesday season 1 despite what seemed to be set up by the show. Although liking being alone is one of Wednesday's defining traits in every Addams Family adaptation, Netflix's Wednesday explores the idea that she can find happiness in friends after all.
Yoko being behind the messages is made all the more possible as she was in the cafe where the picture of Tyler and Wednesday was taken, and it is highly likely that she was within the school premises where Xavier and Wednesday were talking.
