Fans face a wait as Netflix splits Wednesday season 2 into two parts

In August 2025, Netflix's hit series featuring Wednesday Addams, played by Jenna Ortega, returned with its second season, comprised of eight episodes divided into two parts. Part 1, consisting of the first four episodes, premiered to eager fans, but it concluded on a significant cliffhanger, leaving viewers anxiously awaiting the resolution. This unique distribution strategy was a decision prompted by Netflix, aiming to enhance viewer engagement over a prolonged release period. The creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar supported this approach, emphasizing its storytelling potential and the opportunity to implement unexpected plot developments leading into Part 2. They noted that traditional episodic structures often build to major revelations in the final episodes, but splitting the season allows for increased creativity and pacing, potentially providing richer narratives as the season unfolds. Part 2 is scheduled for release on September 3, 2025, with expectations high for what lies ahead in this continuation of the dark and humorous tale of Wednesday, her family, and their spooky adventures at Nevermore Academy. With the introduction of new characters, including Lady Gaga as a mysterious figure, viewers anticipate new twists as well as the resolution of unresolved mysteries.
