However, things start to change when she connects with her schoolmates. As the series unfolds, it focuses on a murder mystery surrounding a mysterious monster who targets the students of Nevermore Academy.

Wednesday Season 2 Is Officially Renewed!

On January 6, 2023, Netflix surprised its fans as it renewed the popular spooky drama Wednesday for Season 2. Well, the renewal announcement came out as a no-brainer. That’s because the series became the most-watched English-language series on Netflix. In addition, it amassed 12 Emmy nominations. But it only won four for best costumes, makeup, original main title theme, and production design. Upon Wednesday Season 2 renewal, the streaming giant dropped a short announcement clip.

However, Netflix didn’t share much about the second season’s plotline. While Netflix hasn’t dropped more details, the renewal came as no surprise. The show was the second-biggest series in Netflix’s history. It has remained in the Global Top Ten for 91 days, holding a record at 1.72 billion watch hours. Not only this, but the series also remained in Nielson’s Top 10s for 14 weeks, holding the 412.08 million watch hours record.

As soon as the series renewed, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, the series co-creators, said they were glad to create a show that connected with a global audience. Now that they are returning with Wednesday Season 2, they are thrilled to continue the journey of this emotionless, torturous Wednesday Addams. The creators also said they can’t wait to explore the spooky world of Nevermore.

When Will Wednesday Season 2 Production Begin?

While the show was renewed for the second season in 2023, it went on hiatus for almost a year. That’s because of the dual Hollywood strikes in 2023, which slowed down the production of several American series, including Wednesday. However, you don’t have to fret now. Filming is underway. As per the reports, Wednesday Season 2 entered production in late April 2024. The filming will take place in Ireland, which was first scheduled to be filmed in Romania.
