Summary
- Audience anticipation for Wednesday season two is high after a three-year gap and multiple Emmy wins.
- Lady Gaga’s involvement in season two will bring star power and attention to the show.
- A potential third season should not have another long gap to maintain viewer interest and relevance.
Wednesday season two is set to release later this year, but with no officially confirmed date, there is nothing for people to latch onto at this point. However, the one clear thing is the fact that audiences are desperate to see Wednesday back on Netflix after such a lengthy gap following the first season.
The original season of Wednesday dropped on the popular streaming service back in 2022, and after three years, there is a lot of excitement for its return. The first series set a high standard, winning four Emmy Awards while becoming the second-most watched English-language Netflix series just three weeks after its release. But after so many years of waiting, the expectation levels are growing.

Wednesday season 2 will come back to Netflix in 2025, and Wednesday Addams needs to be the focal point of every episode.
Wednesday Must Deliver An Amazing Second Season
There is no reason why there should be any sort of dip in quality for the second season of Wednesday, given the quality of the cast and those involved in the project. They managed to come together to create something special with the first season, and fans will head into these episodes with the same level of expectations of what can be achieved. The first season managed to blend dark humor with a level of eeriness that was fitting with the franchise, and maintaining that tone while developing the story and introducing new characters will be the challenge for this one.
After a three-year gap, audiences have started to go from excited to frustrated in their wait for more content from Wednesday. Given how long the writing team has had to develop each episode and the overall plot, the expectations are that this season will blow what came before it out of the water. The aim will be to prove that series two was worth the wait and that the quality needs to be high for that to happen. The story has to be driven forward to engage audiences and prove that a second season was worthwhile in the first place and that the creative team has been working hard during the three years between them.
Wednesday Season Two Wil Benefit From Lady Gaga’s Star Power
The second season of Wednesday will benefit from the star power of Lady Gaga, who has been confirmed as a member of the cast. It was a dream casting for many fans after the first season ended, but it has been made a reality as the iconic musician has agreed to join the show, which got many people talking. The casting of Lady Gaga came at a perfect time when people were starting to forget about Wednesday, as the news that she was going to be involved instantly got audiences talking about the show and what role she could potentially have on Wednesday.
Lady Gaga is a proven star in all fields of entertainment at this point, and even though she’s best known for her music, there is no denying her quality as an actress. Her roles in the likes of American Horror Story and A Star Is Born have proven she can hold her own, and adding that quality into the second season of Wednesday is only going to benefit the show if the writing is done right. She will certainly draw a lot of attention to the project, and that’s a positive step towards the second season, proving that a lengthy wait will be worthwhile.
A Potential Third Season Should Come Quicker
Whether a third season of Wednesday takes place will remain to be seen and will likely be down to the popularity of the upcoming season. However, it’s clear that there can’t be another huge gap such as this. Another three-year break would mean that there would be six years between seasons one and three, which is far too long and is getting into movie territory when it comes to the timescale. Considering how people consume television now, audiences want constant content quickly, and if a show is going to have a huge gap in time, then the quality has to be at an extremely high standard because there are other television series churning out content far quicker while also remaining entertaining.
Wednesday doesn’t want to risk losing viewers because they are taking too long to create content, and that’s the risk that would happen here. Jenna Ortega would be aging beyond what people want to see from Wednesday Addams, potentially making the show redundant. However, that will only be an issue if a third season is green-lit, and right now, the entire focus is on the second season. After three years, there is a risk that the huge audience the show has built up might not return, and that is why the quality of the show is going to be so important. If the episodes are engaging, word of mouth will quickly spread about Wednesday again, and the show will be back at its best.
