“Wednesday” Star On S2 Status, S3 Chances

Filming on the first season of Netflix’s hit “Wednesday,” a coming of age spin on “The Addams Family,” wrapped eight months before the episodes went online – editing and post production taking up that time.

The second season of the series wrapped filming in December, so the new run is currently very much in the middle of post-production ahead of a likely Fall release.

The show’s star Jenna Ortega is currently out promoting her new comedy “Death of a Unicorn” and has offered an update on where things stand. She tells Collider:

“We’re still in the edit. I was doing ADR for it two weeks ago. That’s the funny thing about these jobs is you’re done, you wrap, but you’re not really done. So, I’ll probably be working on it until the end.”

As we know, the new season will be leaning more into a horror angle, and losing or pulling right back on some of the teen romance angle of the previous season which never felt quite right for the material.

It also means the new season will get visual upgrades and plenty of horror references:

“Visually, I can say we have some of the most fun we’ve ever had. It’s crazy to talk about one frame like this, but there is a frame of Pugsley rolling his eyes back with this contraption around his head—that’s all I can say— and it reminds me so much of Full Metal Jacket. It’s insane. So bizarre.

I just feel like there are a lot of scenes and frames, and there’s a whole episode based off of slashers, and we make a lot of horror references. So, everything about it, I feel like we kind of had a little bit more trust, and therefore, we felt like we could do bigger, more elaborate sequences, which is nice.”

As for the possibility of a third season, she says the streamer has yet to give the new season an “official thumbs up” but the writers are already spitballing:

“I know that the writers are… With a show like that, you kind of want to get ahead of the game. So, I think that they’re kind of messing around and throwing out ideas.”

“Wednesday” Season 2 will hit Netflix sometime later in 2026.
