In this article, we’ll dive into everything you need to know about the announcement, what to expect from Season 2, and more.
The Announcement

Fans can expect more of the same blend of dark humor, atmospheric horror, and coming-of-age themes that made the first season so compelling.
Returning Cast and Crew
Jenna Ortega will undoubtedly return as Wednesday Addams, and it’s likely that the rest of the main cast, including Gwendoline Christie as Larissa Weems and Riki Lindhome as Dr. Valerie Kinsey, will also reprise their roles.
Showrunner Alfonso Gómez-Rejón will return to helm the second season, and it’s rumored that he’ll bring some new creative talent on board to help shape the narrative.

Netflix has not announced a release date for Season 2 of "Wednesday," but given the typical production timeline for television shows, it’s likely that the new season will premiere sometime in late 2023 or early 2024.
