Who is not returning to Wednesday Season 2?

In Wednesday Season 2, most of the main cast from the first season is returning, but there are a few notable exceptions. One of the biggest changes is that Gwendoline Christie, who played Principal Larissa Weems as a main character in Season 1, is not returning in a full-time role. Instead, she appears in a smaller, more limited capacity as a ghost or spirit guide, which is a big shift from her previous presence as the school principal.

Other supporting characters from the first season might not be back or may have much smaller roles, but the core group, including Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams and other key actors, are all coming back for Season 2. This change in casting helps bring new characters and fresh storylines into the show while still maintaining continuity with familiar faces.

Why was Wednesday Season 2 Delayed?

Wednesday Season 2 was delayed because of several problems in the film industry and production. The biggest delay happened because of the 2023 Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike which stopped all the writers from working from May to September 2023. This made the writing and planning for the season take longer. Also, there was another strike called the SAG-AFTRA strike, which stopped actors from filming and doing promotions, causing more delays. Because of these strikes, filming didn’t start until May 2024, even though the show was renewed in January 2023.

Another reason for the delay was that the production moved from Romania to Ireland. This was done to give the show a better spooky look, but it took extra time to set up everything in the new place. On top of that, the show used a lot more special effects over 3,500 shots which made making the episodes slower and more difficult. All these reasons together caused almost three years to pass between Season 1 and Season 2. Filming finished in December 2024, and the season is being released in two parts: Part 1 came out on August 6, 2025, and Part 2 will come out on September 3, 2025.

Will there be a season 3 of Wednesday on Netflix?

Yes, Wednesday has been officially renewed for Season 3 on Netflix. This news came in July 2025, before Season 2 even started, showing how popular the show is and how much Netflix believes in it. Filming for Season 3 will begin in November 2025 in Wicklow, Ireland, keeping the same spooky style from Season 2. There isn’t an official release date yet, but experts think Season 3 might come out in the middle or end of 2026, possibly around Halloween to fit the show’s creepy theme.

The show’s creators, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, said Season 3 will explore more about the Addams Family world, including more secrets and stories at Nevermore Academy. Netflix is also thinking about making a spinoff show about another Addams Family member, but details are still being worked out. Fans can look forward to more spooky adventures with Jenna Ortega back as Wednesday Addams, along with other familiar characters, as the show continues its dark and fun story.

Conclusion

Wednesday Season 2 continues to deliver its unique mix of spooky mystery, dark humor and teen drama keeping fans hooked with exciting new twists and deeper stories about Wednesday Addams and her friends. With strong performances from the cast and stunning visuals, the season expands the eerie world of Nevermore Academy while exploring family secrets and supernatural adventures. Despite some delays the season release in two parts has only increased the anticipation and excitement. Season 2 successfully builds on the first leaving viewers eager for what comes next in this thrilling series.
