Netflix’s ‘Wednesday’ Finally Gets Season Two Renewal!

Netflix has officially renewed its super hit series, Wednesday, starring Jenna Ortega, for a second season. 

The streamer shared the news via its verified Twitter account two days ago, and it already has over 72K likes and 5400 retweets.

Wednesday’s second season renewal comes a month and some days after the show launched its first installment on Netflix. In its third week after premiering, Wednesday had already crossed one billion hours viewed, landing it in the second position on the Most Popular English TV Series on Netflix. 

To everyone’s surprise, the first season of Wednesday surpassed Stranger Things 4 in the above category. The show managed a whopping 8.2 out of 10 stars on IMDb and an 86% average audience score on Rotten Tomatoes (accompanied by a 72% average Tomatometer), incredible enough to get it renewed for the second season.

Netflix’s Wednesday is an adaptation of one of The Addams Family characters, Wednesday Addams, going about her years in high school. 

The previous season saw the titular character engage herself in several missions, including solving mysteries that have disturbed her family for years.

Netflix shared a teaser via its main YouTube Channel alongside the second season announcement. 

The 56-second teaser promises more miseries from the global phenomenon as Wednesday Addams glimpses more hunt games and revenge.

Wednesday is made by Alfred Gough and Miles Milar, with Tim Burton, Andrew Mittman, Steve Stark, Gali Berman, Jonathan Glickman, Kayla Alpert, and Kevin Miserocchi as chief producers. The show is a co-production of Millar Gough Ink, Tocula Pictures, Tim Burton Productions, and MGM Television. 

Gough and Milar expressed their gratitude about Wednesday’s season two renewal in a statement, “It’s been wonderful to make a series that has connected with millions across the world. We are delighted to resume Wednesday’s tortuous mission in the second season. We cannot wait to explore the spooky world of Nevermore.”

Gough also shared the renewal news on his main Instagram account, which attracted 5.8k likes in three days. Fans can totally relate to Miles’ post on Instagram under the caption, “Wednesday’s reaction to season two announcement.”

Wednesday stars Jenna Ortega from The Addams Family as Wednesday Addams, alongside Jamie McShane (Sheriff Donovan), Riki Lindhome (Dr. Valerie Kinbott), Hunter Doohan (Tyler Galpin), and Isaac Ordonez (Pugsley Addams).
