When Wednesday Addams gets back to Nevermore, she's in for a series of adventures she never saw coming. And some "delightfully dark and kooky mayhem," according to the official Netflix synopsis. And it wouldn't be a season of Wednesday without a brand new mystery.

Wednesday season 2 filmed in Ireland.
Why is Xavier not in Wednesday season 2?
Vlad Cioplea/Netflix
Actor Percy Hynes White (who played Xavier in the first season of Wednesday) left the Netflix show after an anonymous woman on X accused him of sexual assault in January 2023.
Percy denied the accusation: "Earlier this year, somebody I've never met started a campaign of misinformation about me online. Because of this, my family has been doxxed, and my friends have received death threats," he said in an Instagram story (via EW). "Underage photos of me were used, and examples of me acting in character were presented as hateful. My friend Jane was falsely portrayed as a victim, and her attempts to set the record straight have been ignored. She gave me permission to include her in this message."
Here's everything coming to Netflix in 2025.

Netflix's "Next On Netflix 2025" preview is one of my favorite commercials they've ever released. It features a young woman who tunes out of her meeting to watch Stranger Things instead (relatable) and ends up getting sucked into all her favorite shows, starting with The Upside Down totally taking over the conference room.
After evading the guards from Squid Game and ditching a potential match from Love is Blind, our leading lady finds herself at Nevermore Academy. When Thing knocks a book into her hands, she receives a vision of Willowhill Psychiatric Hospital, where we see Jenna Ortega's Wednesday, who stands opposite Hunter Doohan's Tyler Galpin, who's chained to the wall.
We also get a reimagining of Emily in Paris season 5 and Cobra Kai season 6, just to name a few. Talk about a crazy lineup!
And what Jenna Ortega say to expect from 'Wednesday' season 2.
Vlad Cioplea/Netflix
Jenna Ortega has teased what to expect from the new season — leading with more horror.
“We’re definitely leaning into a little bit more horror,” she told E! Newslast January. "There’s really, really good one-liners and I think everything’s bigger. It’s a lot more action-packed. Each episode will probably feel a little bit more like a movie, which is nice.”
"A show like this, you know, with vampires and werewolves and superpowers, [you don't] want to take yourself too seriously," she said in her Actors on Actors interview with Elle Fanning. "So I think that we're ditching any romantic love interest for Wednesday which is really great, and then also we have such incredible female leads in the show."
