News Wednesday Wednesday Faces Terrible Visions and Cursed Popularity in Season Two Principal Steve Buscemi is here to make everything okay, though! By Molly Templeton | Published on July 9, 2025 Image: Jonathan Hession/Netflix © 2025 Comment 0 Share New Share Image: Jonathan Hession/Netflix © 2025 Wednesday always arrives on Wednesdays. Trailers, release dates, you name it: This show has a thing and it sticks to it. It seems it will also stick to all its other things—weirdly shiny visuals that make everything look like a Spoopy Disney Carnival, for one—when it returns for season two next month. Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) willingly (gasp!) returns to Nevermore Acadamy, where she finds herself an unwilling hero to the student body—and has a terrible vision. “Enid dies and it’s all my fault,” Wednesday tells Morticia (Catherine Zeta Jones), who is familiar with the meaning of the black tears that spread across Wednesday’s cheeks. Wednesday obviously wants to keep her bubbly roomie (Emma Myers) among the living, but this is all very portentous to Morticia as well; she says “I will not let history repeat itself.” What this all means for the show’s (quite large) audience is yet to be seen, but it involves ziplines, weapons, and a really, really fancy-looking carnival for a town so theoretically small. And maybe setting bear traps outside Wednesday and Enid’s dorm room. As one does. And if threatening visions aren’t enough, our deadpan heroine has to contend with having her brother Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez) at school, too. The second season of Wednesday has a lot of returning cast (those who didn’t die the first time around, that is), including Luis Guzmán as Gomez, Hunter Doohan as Tyler, and Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester. Newcomers include Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Noah Taylor, and Steve Buscemi (as Nevermore’s new principal), and guest stars include Joanna Lumley, Thandiwe Newton, Jamie McShane, Haley Joel Osment, Heather Matarazzo, Joonas Suotamo, Frances O’Connor, and, yes, Lady Gaga. Alfred Gough and Miles Millar created Wednesday and serve as showrunners; Tim Burton is the series director. The family-friendly spookiness returns with Part 1 on August 6th, and Part 2 on September 3rd.[end-mark] The post <i>Wednesday</i> Faces Terrible Visions and Cursed Popularity in Season Two appeared first on Reactor.
