Wednesday Part 2 sets official release date – Netflix reveals details that make social media explode, fans wait every day!

Season 2 of Netflix‘s Wednesday is coming soon, in two parts. Part 1 of the hit series led by Jenna Ortega will drop on August 6, with Part 2 to follow on September 3. A teaser trailer with a first look at what’s ahead can be watched above.

This is the first time in awhile that Netflix has employed the split-season release pattern which it has used on some of its biggest shows. Last year, the streamer’s Bridgerton, Emily In Paris and Outer Banks all had their latest installments drop in two halves four weeks apart.

Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, Wednesday follows the titular Addams to Nevermore Academy, where she learns to master her emerging psychic abilities. In Season 1, she uncovers a killing spree that was connected to her parents, Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Gomez (Luis Guzmán), who met at the school 15 years earlier.

In the teaser trailer above, Wednesday (Ortega) is at an airport walking through security when she sets off the alarm, prompting a TSA agent to alert the teen that she must empty her pockets. She puts her brass knuckles on the conveyor belt, naturally, her pepper spray, knives, nunchucks, taser gun, and a twin-spiked ball flail, among other weapons she casually carries on her person. Oh, and Thing is also found in her bag with a mysterious yellow container. That’s what set off the alarm: her sunscreen.

Further, it is revealed that Wednesday is returning to school, where she is reunited with her roommate Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers).

Zeta-Jones previously teased that their sophomore turn will “be bigger and more twisted than you could ever imagine.” Ortega has shared that the new episodes will lean more into horror, unlike the teen romance storyline focus from the show’s freshman season.

Season 2 will shine brighter on Wednesday, and Morticia’s mother-and-daughter relationship and new family members will be introduced. Zeta-Jones, Guzmán, and Isaac Ordoñez, who plays Wednesday’s brother Pugsley, were all upped to series regulars for the show’s sophomore season. A spinoff expanding the world of Wednesday with a focus on Uncle Fester (played in Season 1 by guest star Fred Armisen) is in the works from Netflix and MGM Television.

Uncle Fester appears in Season 2, as shown below and in the trailer above.

Additional casting for Season 2 includes Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo (Sheriff Deputy Ritchie Santiago) being upped to series regular, who will star alongside newly added Billie Piper, Steve Buscemi, Joanna Lumley, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, and Noah Taylor. Lady Gaga will appear as a guest star.
