With only two seasons so far, Wednesday has quickly become one of Netflix’s biggest hits. After months of anticipation, the first half of Season 2 premiered on August 6, bringing significant changes that many fans consider a major improvement over the debut season.
The Addams Family Takes Center Stage
While Season 1 focused almost entirely on Wednesday and the world of Nevermore Academy, Season 2 shines the spotlight on the rest of the Addams clan. Catherine Zeta-Jones (Morticia), Luis Guzmán (Gomez), and Isaac Ordonez (Pugsley) are no longer guest stars, but full-fledged series regulars.
Giving Morticia, Gomez, and Pugsley more screen time not only delights longtime fans of the Addams Family franchise but also adds fresh emotional depth—especially through Wednesday’s strained relationship with her mother, Morticia. This shift is widely seen as a key factor in making the second season far more compelling.

Thing Gets an Upgrade
Another standout this season is Thing, played by Victor Dorobantu. Once a quirky side character, Thing now enjoys a more prominent role with his own storyline, much to the delight of fans who love seeing the iconic hand steal the spotlight.
Split Release and Lady Gaga’s Mystery Role
Season 2 has been split into two parts. Following the release of the first four episodes on August 6, viewers will have to wait until September 3 for the final four. Netflix promises the second half will turn up the chaos, especially with Lady Gaga joining in a mysterious role. Rumors are swirling that she could even portray a previously unseen member of the Addams family.
A Step in the Right Direction
With darker horror elements emphasized and the Addams family woven deeply into the main storyline, Wednesday Season 2 feels like a strong evolution of the show. Fans may need a little more patience to uncover all the mysteries, but Netflix has succeeded in keeping audiences eagerly awaiting the thrilling finale.
