The supernatural mystery drama premiered on August 6 with the first four episodes – the rest of the series will be available to stream on September 3. Jenna Ortega reprised her role as the titular character, returning to Nevermore Academy for another year and 'fresh foes and woes' alongside fellow students Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers) and Bianca Barclay (Joy Sunday).

The first series was released at the end of 2022 and went on to become the most popular English-language show on the streaming platform, with more than 252m views. Despite a three-year wait, season two has unsurprisingly soared up the charts on the streaming platform. In fact, Variety reports that the first batch of the season has earned more than 50million views so far. According to the outlet, this matches the numbers that season one premiered with in 2022 – but for only half the number of episodes, meaning the figures could get even higher when the rest, which include Lady Gaga, hit our screens. Critics and fans alike have heaped praise on Jenna and her star-studded castmates, including Catherine Zeta-Jones, Fred Armisen, Luis Guzman, Billie Piper and Gaga. It currently commands a Rotten Tomatoes score of 83%, and has been branded 'spookier than ever'. Variety's Aramide Tinubu praising: 'Full of zing and depth, the season remains just as thrilling as the first.' Lorraine Ali of the LA Times, agreed: 'It's really the performances, casting and artistic flourishes that make Wednesday a ghoulish delight.' Mashable's Belen Edwards penned: 'Ortega remains the cold, dead heart of the series – and I mean that as a compliment in tribute to Wednesday! 'With one deadly glare and a dry putdown in voiceover, Ortega's Wednesday is still a force to be reckoned with.' More Trending As Vicky Jessop of the Evening Standard, added: 'Tim Burton's latest work is still deliciously twisted, and goes down like a spoonful of poisoned sugar. 'Something this addictive certainly isn't good for us, but we'll keep coming back for more.' View More » Wednesday is available to stream on Netflix now. Got a story?
