Fans eagerly awaiting the return of Netflix’s hit series *Wednesday* will be excited to learn that creators Al Gough and Miles Millar are hard at work on Season 2. Despite the massive success of the first season, which became Netflix’s most popular English-language show, no official release date has been announced yet.
Tim Burton’s Return: A Welcome Surprise
In a recent interview with *Collider*, Gough confirmed that Tim Burton will return to direct half of the episodes in the upcoming season, just as he did for the first season. Gough shared Burton’s passion for the project, stating, “He just loves the show, and he loves working with Jenna [Ortega]… We’re thrilled because… I would’ve thought he’d be like, ‘I did it. Peace out.’ But no, he doesn’t do that.”
Production Progress and Cast Additions
Production for Season 2 began in May, with the cast and crew returning to Nevermore Academy. Gough revealed that they are “about halfway through production,” with Burton still working on his episodes.
The new season will see the addition of exciting cast members, including Steve Buscemi, Christopher Lloyd, and Thandiwe Newton. They will join returning stars Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Isaac Ordonez, Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, and Fred Armisen.
What to Expect in Season 2
Jenna Ortega, who now also serves as a producer, teased that Season 2 will feature more action and horror, drawing inspiration from classic films like *Prom Night* and *Carrie*. Romance will take a backseat, allowing more focus on Wednesday’s friendships and the show’s darker, horror-centric elements.
New Mysteries Await
The upcoming season will introduce a two-year time jump from the events of the Season 1 finale, setting the stage for fresh storylines and mysteries surrounding the town of Jericho.
Stay Tuned for More Updates
With production still underway, fans can expect more updates on *Wednesday* Season 2 soon. In the meantime, Season 1 is available for streaming on Netflix.
