The inaugural season of the popular Netflix series “Wednesday” concluded with several intriguing unresolved plotlines that have left fans eagerly anticipating their resolution
There are pressing questions surrounding Tyler’s fate – will he comply quietly with captivity or return to create chaos among the students at Nevermore Academy?
Additionally, fans are curious about the Outcasts’ acceptance among the Normies in Jericho, the future of the Nightshade Society following their exoneration, and whether Larissa Weems is truly deceased or has assumed another form. Furthermore, the peculiar change in Lurch’s eye color during the final scene raises suspicions about Larissa’s involvement.
Above all, fans are eagerly wondering when their burning questions will be answered. Netflix officially renewed the show for a second season in January 2023, but the exact release date is yet to be announced.
Considering the production timeline of the first season, which took six months to film and eight months in post-production, fans can expect the second season to arrive in the fall of 2024 at the earliest. However, this release schedule may be influenced by the ongoing writers’ and actors’ strikes.
Jenna Ortega, the show’s star, revealed in April that the second season’s preparation had begun but won’t resume until agreements are reached with the Writers’ Guild of America and the Screen Actors’ Guild.
enna Ortega has been very vocal about her distaste for ‘Wednesday’s’ romance plot in season 1. The actor thought it was disloyal to her character’s nature for her to focus on boys rather than monsters.
“I don’t think I’ve ever had to put my foot down more on a set in a way that I had to on ‘Wednesday,'” she revealed on the Armchair Expert Podcast in March 2023. “Everything that Wednesday does, everything I had to play, did not make sense for her character at all. Her being in a love triangle? It made no sense.”
Furthermore, there have been hints about cast members returning and the possibility of introducing new members of the Addams family to the series.
As for the plot, the show’s creators have expressed interest in exploring more of Wednesday’s journey and her relationships within the family. While fans may be left wondering about the fate of certain characters, such as Larissa Weems, there is still a sense of uncertainty surrounding their ultimate destinies.
Despite the first season being available on Netflix, there have been discussions about potential changes regarding the second season’s streaming platform due to the production studio MGM’s sale to Amazon in 2022. However, Amazon has stated that not all MGM content will be exclusive to Prime Video.
