'Season two of "Wednesday" showcases a powerful dynamical relationship between the protagonist and her mother'
Netflix's hit series "Wednesday" continues its supernatural journey as it returns for a third season, following the gripping events of Season 2. The show, focusing on the Addams family's daughter, Wednesday, has once again captivated audiences with its dark humour and intriguing storyline.
In Season 2, Wednesday (played by Jenna Ortega) finds herself haunted by a psychic vision of her roommate Enid Sinclair's (Emma Myers) death, which she believes she caused. With determination to prevent this tragedy, Wednesday delves deeper into her burgeoning supernatural powers, manifesting as dark, ink-like tears. These unsettling developments alarm her family, particularly her mother Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones).
The season unfolds a complex mystery as Wednesday hones her psychic abilities while trying to protect Enid. Morticia and Wednesday's formidable grandmother, Grandmama Hester Frump (Joanna Lumley), also join the efforts to help. The storyline takes a darker turn as Wednesday faces new dark powers and a dangerous serial killer known as the Kansas City Scalper.
The cast for Season 2 includes a mix of returning stars and new additions. Steve Buscemi plays Barry Dort, the enthusiastic new principal of Nevermore Academy. Lady Gaga also joins the cast in a role revealed later in the season. Christopher Lloyd appears as the school's head professor, a living head floating in a glass jar. Billie Piper, from "Doctor Who" and "Secret Diary Of A Call Girl", plays Wednesday's new music teacher.
Notable guest stars in the new season's second half include Lady Gaga. Tim Burton, the creators of "Smallville" TV series, returned to direct four episodes of Season 2.
The season premiered its first four episodes on August 6, 2025, with the remaining episodes following later. The narrative continues with Morticia inviting herself to live on campus as a school fundraiser and a subplot involving Wednesday's psychic visions and Morticia's attempts to protect her. The dynamic between Morticia and Wednesday remains central to the story, with Wednesday rebelling against Morticia's protection.
