Netflix unveils darker 'Wednesday' season 2 with new twists
Netflix announces a return to the dark world of "The Addams Family" in the second season of "Wednesday," presenting new material featuring Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams and a photo of the title character played by Jenna Ortega.
Fans can prepare for more thrilling adventures as the second season of "Wednesday" is on the way. What’s it about? The creators suggest that the next chapter of the story could be noticeably darker than the first. Morticia Addams, played by Catherine Zeta-Jones, will do everything in her power to protect her daughter. However, the dangers lurking at Nevermore Academy will make surviving the next term a formidable challenge.
More plot details of the second season remain a mystery, so viewers will have to wait to discover what happens to the Addams family. At the end of the first season, the relationship between Wednesday and her mother improved, which may suggest a larger role for Morticia in the upcoming episodes.
The first season, which premiered in 2022, introduced Jenna Ortega as Wednesday – an outsider with the ability to foresee future events. Reluctant to attend Nevermore Academy, where her parents were once students, she quickly becomes ensnared in a perilous conspiracy. She is compelled to use her abilities to uncover the mysterious creature responsible for a series of murders near the school.

Catherine Zeta-Jones, before taking on the role of Morticia, appeared as Vivian Capshaw in "Prodigal Son." After "Wednesday," she took the lead role in "National Treasure: Edge of History." Her portrayal of Morticia Addams has become one of the most recognisable in recent years.
Netflix has already released the first materials from the second season, announcing the conclusion of filming at the same time. In the photo, we see Jenna Ortega in the characteristic attire and hairstyle of the main character. The dark atmosphere is unmistakable. Meanwhile, Catherine Zeta-Jones appeared in a short film.
Since November 2022, the story of the teenage girl from the Addams family remains at the top of the platform’s history. The series has been viewed for 1.7 billion hours in total. It has garnered over 250 million views altogether. It's worth noting that in second place among the most-watched Netflix series is the fourth season of "Stranger Things," which has been viewed "only" 140 million times. The second season of "Wednesday" will premiere in 2025. The first season is available on the Netflix platform.
