Wednesday season 2 gets an optimistic update from a Netflix executive. Friedlander did not offer a confirmation, though he does state that he’s optimistic about the future of Wednesday. In the quote below, the exec praises the supporting cast and says that the Netflix team wants to “study” how and why the teen drama resonated with audiences:
You may know what I’m going to say — but I have nothing to confirm at this time. I am optimistic about “Wednesday.” We’ll leave it at that.
The marketing approach to “Wednesday” was sizzling. Whether it was the billboards that say, “Honk if you’re dead inside,” or you’re at the airport and you saw those TSA messages inside the bucket, it was everywhere and they really contributed to making it such a hit.
What To Expect From Wednesday Season 2
By the end of Wednesday season 1, Ortega’s character returns home from summer break. She receives threatening texts from an unknown number, which amuses her. The texts show images of Wednesday talking to Tyler (Hunter Doohan) as well as getting a new phone from Xavier (Percy Hynes White). The series ends with the revelation that the titular protagonist has earned her very own stalker. In conversations about what they’re planning, showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar mention their eagerness to widen the story’s scope and highlight other actors.
The duo specifically mentions that, while the intention is for the focus to remain on Ortega, who has been praised for her performance and nominated for a Golden Globe, there is also the intention of unraveling more of the relationship with her mother Morticia (played by Catherine Zeta-Jones). And in terms of the teenager herself, it’s teased that Wednesday’s straightforward bleak worldview will be challenged due to her continued growth and evolution.
