As Wednesday Season 2 prepares to debut on August 8, audiences are eager to revisit the supernatural world of Nevermore Academy.

Season 1 follows Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) as she joins Nevermore, a school for outcasts, after being expelled for defending her brother. There, she uncovers dark secrets while investigating a series of murders in the nearby town of Jericho. Her psychic visions and connections to her ancestor Goody Addams reveal a prophecy that hints she may destroy Nevermore.

Wednesday's strained relationships soon evolve into alliances. She befriends her werewolf roommate Enid, clashes with siren Bianca, and attracts the attention of Xavier.

Her bond with normie Tyler grows, but her visions reveal he’s the Hyde, a murderous creature controlled by Laurel Gates—posing as teacher Ms Thornhill. Together, they plan to resurrect Jericho’s founder, Joseph Crackstone, using Wednesday’s blood.

In the season finale, Goody helps Wednesday survive a fatal wound, and she, alongside Bianca and Enid, defeats Crackstone, Tyler, and Laurel. Principal Weems is killed during the conflict.

The season ends on a cliffhanger as Xavier gifts Wednesday a phone, and she immediately receives threatening texts from a stalker.

With classes suspended and unresolved mysteries looming, the stage is set for Season 2. The new season will reportedly explore deeper threats and emotional stakes, including the fate of Enid.

Wednesday Season 2 will be released in two parts on Netflix, with the first half dropping on August 6 at 12 am PT/ 3 am ET and the second on September 3.
