The adventures of Wednesday Addams will return to Netflix next year.
The streamer announced that production has wrapped on Wednesday season 2. Netflix also released a new photo of Jenna Ortega as Wednesday that shows herstanding in front of a graveyard.
Created by Beetlejuice Beetlejuice scribes Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, Wednesday stars Ortega as the angsty teenager who inherits her mother’s psychic powers. In season 1, Wednesday transfers to Nevermore Academy, her parents’ alma mater. Wednesday’s rebelliousness and off-putting nature make it difficult to meet friends. When a murder shocks the community, Wednesday uses her newfound skills to investigate and find the killer.
“Season 2 will be delightfully dark, kooky, and mysterious,” Gough and Millar said via Tudum. “If we told you why, Wednesday would kill us. So our lips are sealed.”
