Wednesday Season 2 X review: Fans say 'they stepped tf up' and call Jenna Ortega 'phenomenal' as new episodes hit Netflix

Wednesday Season 2 X review:The deadpan detective of Nevermore is officially back.WednesdaySeason 2 Part 1 has just dropped on Netflix, and the new batch of episodes (four in total) is already pulling fans back into the twisted halls of Nevermore Academy. With Jenna Ortega returning not just as the iconic Wednesday Addams but also stepping into the producer’s chair this season, the show takes a darker, moodier turn, and no, fans aren’t complaining.

If you haven’t watched the new episodes yet, consider this your official warning. Plot details, character arcs, and fan theories ahead. The only thing spookier than a Season 2 twist is having it spoiled before you hit play.


Here’s what people who managed to compromise their sleep and ditch their work on X are saying aboutWednesdaySeason 2 so far.


Think of Nevermore Academy as a gothic garden where danger blooms in every shadow. Jenna Ortega returns as Wednesday, navigating a darker mystery intertwined with Addams family lore. Season 2 raises the stakes with new enemies and unexpected allies. Directed by a mix of talent including Tim Burton protégés and Jenna herself as executive producer, the show features returning favourites—Catherine Zeta‑Jones, Luis Guzmán, Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Hunter Doohan, and Moosa Mostafa—and features new names like Steve Buscemi, Thandiwe Newton, Joanna Lumley, and Lady Gaga, who drops an original song titled “Dead Dance”. The vibe is richer, the suspense deeper, and the story more entangled than ever.



So far, reactions have been pouring in, and while not everyone agrees on everything, one thing is clear: Wednesday still has the internet in a chokehold. Here's what people are saying:

One fan gushed, "I don’t have the words to properly express how glad I am about Jenna’s involvement this season and how proud I am of her performance and all of her hard work. Her portrayal of Wednesday this season has made me fall in love with her all over again. She is phenomenal. Everyone so far has really brought it, though! Every single character on screen had me enthralled. I don’t know how I’m going to survive a month until Part 2.”


A second added with equal enthusiasm, “Sighs, Season 2 ofWednesdayis so peak so far, AND THE SECOND PART TEASER?? I see either Tyler’s death or Tyler’s redemption LMAO.”


But not everyone is thrilled with every storyline. One user pointed out, “Just watched the first episode ofWednesday, Season 2, and you know maybe it should have been only one saeason."


Still, many are more than satisfied. One viewer posted,“WednesdaySeason 2 hasn’t disappointed, but it’s late though. Forgot Season 1.”


And another hyped it with, “Wednesday Season 2 — they stepped tf up.”A more casual binge-watcher wrote, “LovingWednesdaySeason 2 so far, only on episode 2, BUT I’M LOVING IT!!!”


So whether you’re in it for the intrigue, the aesthetics, or the unspoken feelings between roommates and monsters, it seems Part 1 is already a hit — despite a few bumps.



Can’t wait for the next psychic clue drop? You won’t have to for long.Wednesday Season 2 Part 2— episodes 5 through 8 — is set to premiere onSeptember 3, 2025, exactly one month after Part 1. And if the cryptic teasers are anything to go by, we’re in for betrayals, breakdowns, and maybe even a death or two. So keep your black nail polish handy — the next chapter might hurt.
