Finally, more Wednesday season 2 updates just dropped! Jenna Ortega just shared some news about production in a new interview with Glamour in mid-April.


Wednesday is officially one of the biggest Netflix shows of all time, and from the final moments of the first season, Wednesday season 2 looked like it was definitely going to happen on Netflix. Then, fans didn’t hear anything for several months, but that all changed with some recent developments in 2023.

Fans fell in love with Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams, and now, they can’t wait to see what’s new about season 2. To help fans find the most up-to-date information about the new season, we shared everything we know so far about the new season.

We’ll update this story as Netflix shares more information about Wednesday season 2. The latest update was made on Tuesday, April 25, 2023.

Wednesday season 2 latest news

We shared all the latest news about Wednesday season 2 below.

  • Jenna Ortega revealed that prep for Wednesday season 2 has started in an interview with Glamour that ran on April 18, 2023
  • There’s no official production start date for Wednesday season 2 yet
  • Wednesday was renewed for season 2 on Jan. 6, 2023

Wednesday season 2 is happening

After several months of waiting with very little news about Wednesday season 2, Netflix finally renewed Wednesday for season 2 in early January 2023.

If any Netflix show were a slam dunk to be renewed, Wednesday was that show. The show ranks No. 2 behind Stranger Things season 4 as the most popular Netflix US release of all time. It’s No. 3 behind Squid Game and Stranger Things season 4 on the list of the most-watched Netflix releases of all time. Netflix is not going to cancel a show that successful.

Wednesday season 2 has not started filming yet

Unfortunately, we’re in for a long wait until Wednesday season 2. As of late April 2023, production has not started on the new season yet. That’s unfortunate for those hoping to see Wednesday season 2 soon. It’s going to be a while before the new season premieres.

Jenna Ortega was on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and she told Fallon that a writers’ room had just been put together and they were talking about where the season will go. So, that’s great, obviously, but it’s not super great news for fans who want to see the season soon. Obviously, the season has to be written and planned before they can move into production.

In April 2023, Ortega shared that prep for Wednesday season 2 had officially started. We don’t know exactly where in the process they are, but with the writers room getting put together in March 2023, it’s likely that they are still mapping out the season and getting the episodes sorted.

Here’s what Ortega told Glamour when asked about her summer plans and Wednesday season 2:

“No vacations or anything like that. We are starting to prep season two of Wednesday, which…has been exciting. Just developing new storylines and seeing where characters are going. Starting those conversations has been really, really fun. I think it’s going to be bigger and better, which is cool.”

According to reports, the cast and crew started production in the fall of 2021 and wrapped in the spring of 2022 in Romania. The season was released about seven to eight months after production ended, so that’s basically the timeline we’re looking at for Wednesday season 2.

Hopefully, the season 2 filming schedule will be a little easier for Ortega, who just revealed to Variety that she was “hysterically crying” on Facetime throughout the exhausting production of season 1.

“I did not get any sleep. I pulled my hair out,” Ortega said. “There’s so many FaceTime calls that my dad answered of me hysterically crying.”

Has Netflix announced the Wednesday season 2 release date yet?

Will Wednesday season 2 be released in 2023? That’s the question fans all over the world want to know. Unfortunately, we have some bad news on that front.

The first season came out at the end of 2022, so it would make sense why fans think Wednesday season 2 could be released in 2023. Netflix has not confirmed Wednesday season 2 won’t be coming in 2023, but there’s virtually no chance that will happen.

As discussed, it took about eight months following the end of production on season 1 and the show’s release on Netflix. At the time of publishing, there are only 10 months left in the year, and production, which took six months-ish for season 1, has not started on season 2. Even if the cast and crew started filming Wednesday season 2 in March 2023, there’s no way the season would be done and ready for release by the end of the year.

So, unfortunately, fans will be waiting until 2024 to see Wednesday season 2. We wish it wasn’t so, but that’s the reality of the situation.

More unfortunately, Wednesday isn’t the only big Netflix show we’ll miss in 2023.
