The highly anticipated second season of *Wednesday* has exploded onto Netflix, delivering a thrilling continuation that outshines its predecessor.
With an impressive 81% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes — up from Season 1’s 73%—the new episodes have critics and fans buzzing. Released on August 6, 2025, the first part of the season has already cemented its status as a must-watch, blending dark humor with a rollercoaster of twisted plot twists.
Described as a “captivating adventure,” Season 2 dives deeper into the eerie halls of Nevermore Academy, where Wednesday Addams, portrayed by Jenna Ortega, tackles new mysteries with her signature sardonic edge. The series amplifies its gothic charm, weaving a narrative packed with unexpected turns that keep viewers on edge. Early reviews praise the heightened stakes and the return of the Addams family dynamics, with Ortega’s performance as an executive producer adding a fresh layer of intensity. The jump in Rotten Tomatoes score suggests a bolder creative direction, leaning harder into horror and suspense, which seems to resonate more with audiences than the first season’s blend of teen drama.
