Jenna Ortega has teased what viewers can expect to see in the upcoming second season of Wednesday. The actress talked about the Netflix show in an interview at the Emmy Awards.

Based on the character from the Addams Family franchise, the series launched in November 2022 and became a big hit for the streamer. Netflix renewed the series in January 2023.

Starring Ortega, Gwendoline Christie, Jamie McShane, Percy Hynes White, Hunter Doohan, Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Naomi J Ogawa, Moosa Mostafa, Georgie Farmer, and Riki Lindhome, the Netflix series follows young Wednesday Addams as she attends her parents’ alma mater, Nevermore Academy, a private school for monstrous outcasts.

It has already been teased that season two will feature more of Wednesday’s family and the relationship with her mother (Catherine Zeta-Jones) will be explored further.

Ortega said the following about Wednesday, per Deadline:

“We’re definitely leaning into a little bit more horror but it’s really, really exciting because all throughout the show, while Wednesday does need a little bit of an arc, she never really changes and that’s the wonderful thing about her. There’s really, really good one-liners, and I think everything’s bigger, it’s a lot more action-packed. Each episode will probably feel a little bit more like a movie, which is nice.”

Production on Wednesday season two is set to start in April in Ireland. The premiere date will be announced later.
