Who Is Wednesday's Stalker In Season 2?
There's not much that can get passed Wednesday Addams, and season two, part one proves to be no exception. Since the release of the latest season on August 6, we've been transported back into the mystical world of Nevermore Academy's finest.
Early in the season, it's clear that someone is stalking Wednesday, though it doesn't take long for her to unravel the mystery. After sending anonymous cryptic letters that detail an unhealthy obsession with her, as well as photographs, the stalker's actions intensify when they kidnap and nearly kill Enid.
By the second episode we learn that the stalker is none other than Agnes (Evie Templeton), whose obsession with Wednesday began the previous year at Nevermore Academy after she saved the school from a demon at the end of season one.
Following this, Wednesday quickly rises as one of Nevermore's most popular students, due to her exceptional abilities. But if there's one thing she hates more than colour, it's unwanted attention and being put on a pedestal.
Agnes is an outcast who has the power to turn invisible. It's this ability that enabled her to trick Enid in the second episode, so much so, that only Wednesday could figure out the cryptic mystery. The answer? A missing book: The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells – fitting, given Agnes' talent for going unseen.
Once Wednesday uncovers the misplaced book, Agnes eventually releases Enid and Bruno, insisting that it was a harmless joke for Prank Day that she orchestrated in the hopes of impressing Wednesday.
Understandably, no one is accepting of Agnes' answer given the extreme harm and danger that the 'prank' put not only Enid in, but also Wednesday and Bruno. Nevertheless, Wednesday decides to befriend her stalker – whether it is to keep her enemy closer is yet to be revealed.

Who Is the Stalker in 'Wednesday' Season 2? The Answer Comes With a Twist.
Spoilers below. In season 2, part 1 of Netflix's Wednesday, our favorite titular outcast (played by Jenna Ortega) finds herself embroiled in another mystery at Nevermore Academy. After saving the school from Joseph Crackstone, the town of Jericho's resurrected anti-outcast founder, Wednesday Addams's new investigation comes courtesy of a cloaked stalker and, unironically, a murder of crows. This mysterious figure and their homicidal birds remain elusive until their identity is revealed in episode 4, right before a cliffhanger sets up the second half of the season, which drops on September 3. So, who exactly is under the hood? Before we answer that, let's rewind. In the mid-season finale, Wednesday and Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen) infiltrate Willow Hill Psychiatric Hospital, where several outcasts purportedly receive treatment. Some of the patients include Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan), a shapeshifting Hyde who was admitted after wreaking havoc at Nevermore the year prior; Marilyn Thornhill (Christina Ricci), Tyler's former handler and the mastermind behind Crackstone's resurrection; and Slurp, a zombie that Pugsley Addams (Isaac Ordonez) previously zapped to life by accident. The facility is run by chief psychiatrist Dr. Rachael Fairburn (Thandiwe Newton) and her executive assistant, Judi (Heather Matarazzo). Wednesday—hellbent on preventing a vision that suggests she's responsible for her best friend Enid's (Emma Myers) impending death—followed clues that led her to Willow Hill. Earlier in the season, a local private investigator named Carl Bradbury was killed by a flock of eye-gouging crows. The former sheriff and Tyler's father, Donovan Galpin (Jamie McShane), tells Wednesday that he and Carl were working on a case that could affect all outcasts, including his son. But that's all the information Wednesday could get from Donovan before he suffers the same fate as his P.I. friend. Further complicating things, Wednesday's psychic abilities, which she harnesses with the help of a spell book from her ancestor and former spirit guide, Goody Addams, stop working. Her mother, Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones), confiscates the book, fearing that her daughter will go mad, as her psychic sister, Aunt Ophelia, did when they were younger. It's a valid concern, considering Wednesday starts experiencing 'psychic exhaustion,' which comes with the side effect of black tears. (Worth noting: Aunt Ophelia was admitted to Willow Hill after succumbing to severe psychosis, distinguished by black tears streaming down her face. She then mysteriously went missing.) With her powers gone, Wednesday begrudgingly enlists the help of her Nevermore peer Agnes DeMille (Evie Templeton), a starry-eyed devotee with the ability to turn invisible. It turns out that Agnes has been stalking Wednesday and sending attention-seeking messages. However, this is a bit of a smokescreen; Agnes isn't the cloaked crow-commander but rather a superfan eager to prove her worth by helping solve the central mystery. This means Wednesday has another, more threatening, stalker on her hands—someone who's using a deadly one-eyed crow to keep her under surveillance. Wednesday and Agnes's joint efforts lead to breakthroughs in the case: Wednesday finds a collection of old obituaries for outcasts who were patients at Willow Hill, and they're all somehow linked to the name Lois. With the help of her stony-hearted grandmother (Joanna Lumley), Wednesday discovers that the outcasts' deaths were faked, and a man named Augustus Stonehurst falsified their cremations and death certificates. Upon further investigation, Wednesday learns that Augustus was a 'normie,' someone without supernatural powers, and a science teacher at Nevermore before becoming the head doctor at Willow Hill several years ago. He also had a daughter for whom he built an aviary in Iago Tower, a now-abandoned Nevermore site. After having a psychotic break, Augustus was admitted to Willow Hill as a patient, where he remains—a 'plot twist worthy of Poe,' Wednesday remarks. All signs point to shady dealings at the psychiatric hospital. That brings us to the mid-season finale when Wednesday and Uncle Fester uncover a secret quarter in Willow Hill, where the outcasts from the sham obituaries are imprisoned. The duo confronts the cloaked prowler, who is finally revealed to be Judi, Augustus's daughter. She explains that Augustus started experimenting on outcasts to extract their powers and give them to normies. This is part of a program called L.O.I.S, which stands for 'Long-term Outcast Integration Study.' Judi, who was born a normie, was a willing subject and received the ability to control crows. Once Augustus mentally deteriorated, she took it upon herself to continue her father's twisted work. Uncle Fester harnesses his electrokinesis, knocking out the hospital's power and unlocking all the outcasts' rooms and holding cells. To say that all hell breaks loose is an understatement: While some of the imprisoned outcasts attack Judi, who makes a run for it, Slurp feasts on the brains of whomever he can subdue, including Augustus. A vengeful Tyler, who notably threatened Enid earlier in the season, transforms into a bloodthirsty Hyde, impales Marilyn, and hunts Wednesday. After a chilling staredown, Tyler presumably throws Wednesday out of a window, and she lands on Willow Hill's front lawn, bloodied and unconscious. Tyler escapes into the night, suggesting that Wednesday might have inadvertently cleared the way for Enid's death, the very tragedy she hoped to forestall. We're left with several questions. Is there a physical therapist out there who can help Wednesday recover from that brutal fall? Where did Judi and Tyler escape to? Is Marilyn really dead (she's proven to be quite resilient)? What exactly happened to Aunt Ophelia, and is she the key to restoring Wednesday's visions? We'll have to wait and see what comes of the chaos when the second batch of episodes arrives next month.

'Wednesday' star Jenna Ortega on shooting THAT scene: 'Wednesday truly is out of her depth' (exclusive)
Ortega and director Tim Burton break down season 2, part 1's Points Jenna Ortega shares what it was like to film the final scene of Part 1. Ortega talks about Enid and Wednesday's relationship and why it's so important. Emma Myers shares her favorite episodes of Part article contains spoilers for Part 1 of season 2. For the first four episodes of Wednesday's second season, the teenage sleuth has had a lot on her plate. Not only has her family complicated matters by joining her at Nevermore this year, but there's also a new killer in town. Oh, and then there's the small issue of Wednesday's (Jenna Ortega) visions telling her that she's going to be the cause of Enid's (Emma Myers) death. "I think it's really important to see girls looking after each other and caring about one another," Ortega tells Entertainment Weekly during an interview for our latest digital cover story. "I don't think anyone could look at our show or look at any of the relationships between the women —besides maybe the familial ones — and see them as anything but supportive or understanding. And that's really great to see, especially in a school environment." The good news — at least for now — is that Enid has survived the first half of the season. The bad news is that Part 1 ended with Tyler (Hunter Doohan), in full Hyde form, launching Wednesday out of a second story window before escaping from Willow Hill Psychiatric Hospital. 'It's the first time, at least in the season, where Wednesday truly is out of her depth,' Ortega says of the moment Wednesday comes face-to-face with the Hyde. 'They were talking about me running down the hall or me doing some sort of slide underneath [the Hyde], and I remember telling them, 'I don't think so, because this isn't an action show. And Wednesday's too smart for that. She has to understand that there's no chance. She could run, but it's a huge monster.' So, I started saying that, and then it kind of piggybacked into Tim's idea of it just being this really, really quiet silence, which stands out from the rest of the episode.' Director Tim Burton made the choice not to show the actual moment where the Hyde throws Wednesday, instead cutting to outside of the window, where audiences sit in a brief silence before the heroine comes crashing through. 'It felt very poetic and dramatic and surprising,' Burton says of the decision. Ortega adds, 'We don't need to see everything. Sometimes it's better to leave it to the audience's imagination.' Thanks to a Part 2 preview — and EW's exclusive first-look photos — we know Wednesday isn't really dead. Thanks to creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, we also know that Enid is still in danger. And according to the cast, that leads to a lot of good episodes for the rest of the season. 'All of my favorite episodes are in the back half of the season,' Myers says. "My favorite episode is 7; I had a blast shooting it. Wait, episode 6 is crazy too! Episode 6 was probably the most difficult thing I've ever had to film. I'm so excited for people to watch. They're gonna die." For Ortega, it's all about the big finale. "The finale episode, we did have a ball," she says. "You could tell Tim was in the zone, and it's very graphic and comic book-esque at times. That was very exciting."For more, read EW's latest digital cover story.

Binged Wednesday Already? Here's When Part 2 Is Out (And What To Watch While You Wait)
Wednesday fans' patience was finally rewarded this week when, almost three years on since the first season began streaming, new episodes finally debuted on Netflix. Unfortunately, the wait isn't quite over, though. You see, as Netflix tends to do with its biggest releases, the second season of Wednesday was split into two, so while the first four are available to stream now, there's still a four-week wait until the second half of the series arrives on the platform. How you fill in that time is up to you, but we do have some suggestions for things to stream just for Wednesday devotees… What to stream on Netflix while you wait for the latest episodes of Wednesday season 2? Of course, Wednesday Addams has existed long before Tim Burton and Netflix put their unique spin on the character. While Jenna Ortega has become synonymous with the role since Wednesday's premiere in 2022, many would argue that the definitive version of the character was Christina Ricci's, in 1991's The Addams Family and the far superior, laugh-out-loud hilarious follow-up, 1993's Addams Family Values. As luck would have it, both of those films are currently streaming on Netflix, starring an incredible cast that includes Anjelica Huston, Christopher Lloyd, Carol Kane and Joan Cusack in the oh-so-meme-able role of Debbie Jellinsky. Meanwhile if you're looking for something creepy, kooky, mysterious, spooky and all-together-ooky, but still family friendly, the 2019 animated film The Addams Family is currently on Prime Video, as is its 2021 sequel. These animated movies feature Oscar Isaac and Charlize Theron as the voices of Gomez and Morticia Addams, while the family is completed by the likes of Chloe Grace Moretz, Finn Wolfhard, Nick Kroll, Bette Midler and, curiously, Snoop Dogg as Cousin Itt. Alternatively, if Wednesday has got you curious to dive into more of Tim Burton's catalogue, Beetlejuice and Corpse Bride are both streaming on Netflix, while the more recent sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is on Now. Many of Tim Burton's other notable projects, including Edward Scissorhands, Alice In Wonderland and The Nightmare Before Christmas (which, notably, he produced but did not direct) are also on Disney+. When is the second half of Wednesday season 2 coming out? The final four episodes in the series will arrive on Netflix on Wednesday 3 September. Excitingly, one of these episodes will feature Lady Gaga's much-hyped cameo, with the Grammy winner having also apparently recorded a new song to coincide with her appearance. A third season of Wednesday is also confirmed to be in the works, with showrunner Alfred Gough teasing: 'Our goal for season three is the same as it is for every season: to make it the best season of Wednesday we possibly can. 'We want to continue digging deeper into our characters while expanding the world of Nevermore and Wednesday. We will be seeing more Addams Family members and learning more family secrets in season three!' It's not yet known when production on the third season will begin, though, or when we can expect to see it on Netflix.
