Isn’t it just delightfully fitting that as Mercury dances retrograde, bringing its usual chaos and second-guessing, Netflix drops the wickedly delightful news that Wednesday season 2 is nearly upon us? Yep, the queen of deadpan, Wednesday Addams herself, prowling those gothic halls at Nevermore Academy again—now with twice the eerie fun, split into two chilling batches starting this August and September (both on Wednesdays, of course, because why break tradition?). And just when you thought the spectral suspense couldn’t deepen, guess what? Season 3 is already ordered, with whispers of a mysterious spinoff lurking somewhere in the shadows. Could this cosmic timing be a sign that the Addams clan isn’t done exploring the supernatural depths of our collective curiosity? Or maybe it’s just a clever ploy to keep us spellbound. Either way, it’s the perfect storm of spooky, quirky, and completely binge-worthy. Ready to get your psychic powers tingling? LEARN MORE.

Another Wednesday has come around, and the Netflix streaming service has just dropped some big news about their hit Addams Family series Wednesday! Wednesday season 2 started filming in Ireland last May, wrapping production at the end of November. The streaming service recently announced that season 2 of the show will be split into two batches. The first part will start streaming on August 6th. (Yes, that is a Wednesday.) The second half will come along on September 3rd, yet another Wednesday. Now, two weeks ahead of the premiere of season 2, it has been confirmed (via The Hollywood Reporter) that Netflix has officially ordered Wednesday season 3! It’s also said that “a spinoff series is in early discussions.”

Details on the potential spinoff are being kept top secret for now. The only quotes related to that project are “It’s something we’re definitely noodling; there are other characters we can look at” and “There’s a lot to explore in the Addams Family.

Wednesday comes to us from Millar Gough Ink, Tim Burton Productions, Toluca Pictures, and MGM Television, and is described as a comedic, supernaturally-infused coming-of-age series that follows the teenage girl’s years as a student at Nevermore Academy, where she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the town, and solve a mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new relationships at Nevermore. Snap snap. Here’s the season 2 synopsis: Wednesday Addams returns to prowl the Gothic halls of Nevermore Academy, where fresh foes and woes await. This season, Wednesday must navigate family, friends and old adversaries, propelling her into another year of delightfully dark and kooky mayhem. Armed with her signature razor-sharp wit and deadpan charm, Wednesday is also plunged into a new bone-chilling supernatural mystery.

Jenna Ortega plays the title character and beyond Wednesday, other members of the Addams Family include Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley, Luis Guzmán and Catherine Zeta-Jones as Gomez and Morticia, and Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester. Uncle Fester has only appeared on one episode of Wednesday so far, but we recently heard that the character might be getting his own spin-off series. New additions to the cast for season 2 include Anthony Michael Hall (Edward Scissorhands), Steve Buscemi (The Big Lebowski), Billie Piper (I Hate Suzie), Evie Templeton (Lord of Misrule), Owen Painter (Tiny Beautiful Things), Noah Taylor (Law & Order: Organized Crime), Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), Thandiwe Newton (Westworld), Frances O’Connor (The Missing), Haley Joel Osment (Tusk), Heather Matarazzo (Scream), and Joonas Suotamo (The Acolyte). Joanna Lumley (Absolutely Fabulous) has joined the cast as Grandmama, and Lady Gaga (A Star Is Born) has an unspecified guest role.

The cast of season 1 also included Christina Ricci as botanical sciences teacher Marilyn Thornhill; Riki Lindhome as Wednesday’s therapist Dr. Valerine Kinbot; Joy Sunday as Siren Nevermore student Bianca Barclay; Emma Myers as Wednesday’s sunny roommate Enid Sinclair; Hunter Doohan as townie Tyler Galpin; Moosa Mostafa as quirky Nevermore student Eugene Otinger; Georgie Farmer as awkward and shy Nevermore student Ajax Petropolus; Naomi J. Ogawa as vampire Nevermore student Yoko Tanaka; Percy Hynes White as supernaturally artistic Nevermore student Xavier Thorpe; Jamie McShane as Sheriff Donovan Galpin, Tyler’s father, who has a vendetta against Gomez; Gwendoline Christie as Larissa Weems, “the principal of Nevermore Academy who still has an axe to grind with her former classmate Morticia Addams”; Victor Dorobantu as Thing, the non-verbal disembodied hand; George Burcea as Lurch; Tommie Earl Jenkins as Mayor Walker; Iman Marson as Lucas Walker; William Houston as Joseph Crackstone; Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo as Deputy Santiago; Oliver Watson as Kent; Calum Ross as Rowan; and Johnna Dias Watson as Divina. Some of them are returning for Wednesday season 2, some are not.

Tim Burton directed half of season 2, which is the same thing he did for the first season. That means Burton is at the helm of four of the season’s eight episodes.
