Wednesday Season 2, Part 1 is a gorgeous but unfocused homecoming to Nevermore
After nearly three years, Netflix's Wednesday returns with the first half of its second season—four episodes that bring Jenna Ortega's gothic heroine back to Nevermore Academy. Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar and directed in parts by Tim Burton, the series once again blends teenage angst with supernatural mystery, this time expanding its world with more Addams family members, more mythology, and more murder. A still from Wednesday Season 2, Part 1 But while the style and tone remain alluring, Season 2, Part 1 struggles to find narrative clarity. With the second half of the season—another four episodes—set to drop next month, this batch feels like buildup without payoff. Following a blood-soaked summer of mastering her psychic abilities and playing cat-and-mouse with a serial killer, Wednesday returns to Nevermore Academy for the fall semester. Her younger brother, Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez), joins the school and struggles with his static electricity powers. The institution now runs under Principal Barry Dort (Steve Buscemi), who recruits Morticia Addams (Catherine Zeta-Jones) to help with gala fundraising efforts, much to Wednesday's dismay. Still haunted by dark visions—particularly one involving her best friend Enid (Emma Myers)—Wednesday plunges into a new mystery when townspeople begin turning up dead, their eyes plucked out by crows. As she investigates these eerie deaths, she uncovers hidden Addams family secrets, battles rising fame, and navigates shifting friendships. The return of Grandmama Frump (Joanna Lumley) and several quirky new faces complicate matters further, making Nevermore feel more chaotic than ever. The good Despite narrative clutter, the show's eerie aesthetic remains a major asset. Tim Burton's influence is evident in the rich, gothic production design—moody corridors, shadowed classrooms, and stylized costumes all create an immersive environment. Jenna Ortega still commands the screen with her deadpan delivery and steely presence, even when given less to do. Her chemistry with Emma Myers adds emotional grounding, especially as their friendship strains under the pressure of secrets and suspicion. The deeper dive into the Addams family dynamic adds intrigue. Morticia's increasing involvement in Wednesday's world causes tension, while family secrets unearthed midseason add new depth. Supporting newcomers—especially Evie Templeton as a wide-eyed, obsessive fan—infuse the season with oddball energy. The bad However, the decision to split the season into two parts feels unnecessary and hinders narrative momentum. These four episodes feel more like setup than story, dragging toward an underwhelming midseason finale. With so many characters and subplots crammed in, Wednesday herself often gets lost in the shuffle. The Addams family, once defined by their offbeat contrast to the normal world, now seem diluted in a universe full of supernatural oddities. Their presence no longer feels special, and what once made them darkly hilarious now seems mundane. Morticia and Gomez (Luis Guzmán) are given more screen time, but their exaggerated performances begin to feel repetitive. Perhaps most disappointingly, the clever, sardonic tone that defined Season 1 has dulled. There's no moment here with the cultural impact of Wednesday's dance scene, nor does the writing offer many standout one-liners. The mystery at the heart of the season lacks urgency, and Wednesday's visions—complete with ominous black tears—start to feel like a tired trope rather than a compelling device. The verdict Season 2, Part 1 of Wednesday offers more gloom, more lore, and more Addams—but not always to its benefit. Visually striking and occasionally poignant, it still manages to entertain. Yet with its unfocused storytelling and diminishing returns on once-sharp characters, the magic that made the first season so iconic feels diluted. Let's hope Part 2 finds its bite.

Arjun Rampal on playing negative roles: 'Don't want to be predictable, I wonder why do these parts come to me'
One down and one more to go! For Bollywood actor Arjun Rampal, 2025 has been one surprise after another. First came Netflix's Rana Naidu 2, and next is Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar. What's common in both, you ask? Arjun in menacing roles. Talking to Livemint, Arjun Rampal opened up about what he liked most about his role as Rauf Mirza, locking horns with Rana Daggubati in Rana Naidu 2. Arjun said, "When I was approached for Rana Naidu 2, I went and watched Season 1. What I really liked the most about the whole show was that there was a dysfunctional family and a dysfunctional protagonist. He is not all white and black. The complexities the makers brought in, and how they arched each character and their journey, was very impressive. 'When Karan Anshuman and Suparn Verma approached me to play Rauf in Rana Naidu 2, they were very clear that even Rauf had to be very complex and unpredictable. There should be something new in the film—something nobody has seen me play or would anticipate me to play. So that's where the work started.' Arjun revealed how they came up with Rauf, who is not just ruthless but also vulnerable. "Karan kept going back and forth and kept working on scenes—how to make this character unpredictable, ruthless? He doesn't have any qualms about knocking somebody off. Also, we wanted to bring a certain amount of liberty towards the character, like he can be doing something horrible but also making it look kind of humorous." 'It's his unpredictability, because you see him flip once or twice in the middle of a conversation. That's why you keep watching, because you don't know what he will do next.' One thing we know by now, Arjun as Rauf is an out-and-out hit. In fact, ever since Om Shanti Om, Arjun in negative roles has been mostly appreciated. Does he agree that maybe the audience is drawn towards negative characters nowadays? 'Negative characters are definitely more fun characters to play. They are more fun to watch also," the actor said. But someone of Arjun's stature with decades of experience in the industry, someone might not prefer playing negative roles so much. Is there's a dearth of positive characters for him? He clarifies, "There are positive characters that I have played; there are films which will release where you will see me in a positive light, because I can't keep playing negative characters. But yes, there are filmmakers who are drawn to cast me in negative parts because they have seen me in these kinds of characters. And sometimes, I do look upon it and wonder, why do these parts come to me? "I guess it comes from a space because I am very honest with them. I try to find a human side of them; I don't see them as bad people. Maybe that resonates with the filmmaker or audience. Therefore, these kinds of roles become unique. I like the uniqueness. Yes, I don't want to be predictable. It does sometimes get very, very draining. Again, in Dhurandhar, I will play a terrible person." Both Dhurandhar and Rana Naidu 2 boast ensemble casts. When asked about the pressure of being in ensemble cast films, he quipped, 'I don't feel pressurised working with an ensemble cast. It is a pleasure, from Rana to Venkatesh Daggubati, the whole cast is filled with wonderful actors. For me, collaboration plays an important part.' The shoot for Rana Naidu 2 wasn't easy. So were the promotions. During one of them, Arjun escaped unhurt when a glass wall broke on him, injuring his finger. Arjun recalled, 'Yes, I cut my finger because the glass didn't break the way it was supposed to. I hit it with my hand. The whole glass collapsed on my head. I had glass all over me when I walked on stage. That's the world of Rauf.' "Even the shoot wasn't easy. It was very gritty, filled with dust and fire and fumes. You breathe this crazy air into your lungs, which is not ideal. I remember poor Rana got an eye infection during the shoot. He went through with it. We shot a gruesome fight in this condition, which was crazy. We had mud, dust all over us. When we sneezed, black soot would come out. It was tough." For the role, Arjun also gained 14-15 kg. Thinking about it, he chuckled and said, 'It was fun because I got to eat everything I wanted to eat. After that, losing it was painful. But if you do it in a healthy and scientific manner, then it's okay. I can gain weight easily. Losing requires a lot of discipline. You also need cardiovascular training. I don't take any supplements, steroids, or creatine. I do everything 100% naturally.' Amid the trend of Mythology films and shows in the industry, is Arjun open to doing any? He answered, 'I love mythology. It's one of my favourites. India has the best mythology; it's screaming out to be done the right way, correctly. With technology evolved, it allows us to go all out with mythology. I would be very, very excited if I could be a part of something like that.' His next release, Dhurandhar, will be out on 5 December.
