Wednesday season 2: Netflix release time, cast and more
The second season will see the return of Jenna Ortega (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Death of a Unicorn and Scream) as Wednesday Addams.
While fellow cast members, including Catherine Zeta-Jones (Morticia Addams), Luis Guzmán (Gomez Addams), and Emma Myers (Enid Sinclair), will also be back for the new season.
They will be joined by new faces like Joanna Lumley (Grandmama Hester Frump), Steve Buscemi (Principal Dort), Billie Piper (Isadora Capri) and Christopher Lloyd (Professor Orloff).
Ahead of the release of Wednesday, season two, we have rounded up everything you need to know, from how season one ended and the new-look cast, to the upcoming episode titles and whether or not there will be a season three.
The first season of Wednesday remains the most-viewed English-language series on Netflix of all time.
The finale saw Wednesday Addams (Ortega) confirm her suspicions that Tyler (Hunter Doohan) is the Hyde terrorising Nevermore Academy.
She also discovers the hidden identity of Tyler's master - Marilyn Thornhill, aka Laurel Gates (Christina Ricci).
Wednesday eventually wins out over the pair and saves Nevermore.
Season one ends with Ortega's character driving away from school with her family, armed with her very first mobile phone.
In the last scene of the finale, she receives multiple texts from an unknown contact.
"The Stalker" sends a few photos of Wednesday with her love interests, a Memoji-style gif of a Wednesday avatar being stabbed in the head, and a text reading, 'I'm watching you.'
Short recap of 'WEDNESDAY' Season 1!

Ortega, speaking to Netflix's Tudum, said: "We ended Season 1 with a stalker that was still after me. Tyler has been sent to a psych ward, and half the school is burnt down.
'We start off Season 2 with Wednesday being kidnapped.'
Fittingly, part one of Wednesday, season 2, will be released on Wednesday (August 6).
The first four episodes of Wednesday (season 2), which make up part one, will be available to watch in the UK on Netflix from 8 am.
Part Two will be released on September 3, 2025.
In the new season, Wednesday Addams (Ortega) must "navigate family, friends, and old adversaries, propelling her into another year of delightfully dark and kooky mayhem", Netflix explains.
Armed with her signature razor-sharp wit and deadpan charm, Wednesday is also plunged into a new bone-chilling supernatural mystery.
Co-creators, showrunners, and executive producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, speaking to Tudum, added: "Wednesday goes into this season thinking she knows Nevermore.
'But as soon as she returns, nothing happens the way she's expecting.
"She thinks she's going to be in control, that she knows where all the bodies are buried, but she doesn't.
"Nothing is what it seems in Season 2.'
The episode titles for part one of Wednesday, season 2, have also been revealed:
The season two cast for Wednesday will feature:
Ortega was born on September 27, 2002, which means she is currently 22 years old.
Filming for Wednesday took place primarily in Northern Ireland between April and November 2024, according to Deadline.
This meant Ortgea was 21 when she began filming season two of Wednesday, and 22 when it came to an end.

Wednesday has already been renewed for a third season, Netflix has confirmed.
Co-creator and showrunner Alfred Gough said: '[Co-creator and co-showrunner] Miles [Millar] and I have been doing this long enough to know that shows like this don't come along every day.
"It's such an alchemy of writing, directing, acting, crew, streamer, studio, and fans.
"We remain grateful and excited to continue this journey and tell these stories with all of our partners.'
Netflix said season three promises to go "even further, on every level".

Gough continued: 'Our goal for Season 3 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.'
Miles Millar added: 'We will be seeing more Addams Family members and learning more family secrets in Season 3!'

Wednesday – Season 2 Episode 2 'The Devil You Woe' Recap & Review
The Devil You Woe Episode 2 of Wednesday Season 2 starts with Wednesday gaining consciousness. Morticia is disappointed because Wednesday kept the black tears a secret. She tells Wednesday that it is a sign that she is abusing her powers. Wednesday is disappointed that Thing told Morticia about Goody's book. Morticia asks Wednesday to be patient and wait for a new guide. Sadly, Wednesday refuses, saying she has no time to waste, especially after her last vision. Morticia insists that her ability is not a weapon but a gift, but Wednesday refuses to listen. On her way back to school, Wednesday drops by Galpin's house. Surprisingly, she finds him dead, another victim of the crows. She tries to find some evidence before the police arrive, but fails. Her psychic abilities also fail her. The police, led by Sheriff Santiago, arrive and arrest Wednesday. Santiago brings Wednesday to the station and tries to question her. She is curious about Galpin's missing phone. Wednesday says nothing; she believes Tyler might have killed his dad. The sheriff insists that Tyler is still locked away. Gomez shows up as Wednesday's lawyer and bails her out. On the drive back, Gomez seeks some answers from Wednesday. Wednesday is disappointed to hear that her parents will be staying. She thinks her mom is worried she will end up like Ophelia. However, Gomez refuses to shed light on what happened to Morticia's sister. The following day, Eugene learns that Pugsley brought back to life the boy from the legend. Pugsley is keeping the monster in Eugene's bee shed for the time being. They decide to call the monster Slurp. As for Wednesday, she tries to find answers in Goody's book. She asks Thing to keep the loss of her abilities and Enid's impending doom a secret. Upon arriving at the dorm, Wednesday finds Enid lying in a pool of blood with her throat slashed. It turns out to be a prank since it is officially prank day. Enid thinks Wednesday left an eyeball on her pillow. However, Wednesday didn't. It is most likely another gift from the stalker. As they talk, the stalker sends a message to Enid. They call the number back and get Galpin's voicemail. Enid is shocked that Wednesday is already caught in another murder mystery. Wednesday suggests that it might be better for Enid to stay in the room while she figures things out. She tries to get a psychic read from the eyeball, but nothing! In the meantime, Ajax watches Enid getting cosy with Bruno. Pugsley and Eugene help him get revenge on Bruno. The other students continue to enjoy their prank day without a care in the world. Wednesday approaches Dort and a fellow teacher to ask about outcasts who can control birds. The teacher says that such outcasts are called Avian, but they have not had one in Nevermore for years. Bianca meets with Morticia as the gala fundraising student liaison. The two talk about Wednesday, and the conversation turns to their complicated relationships with their moms. Bianca suggests that Morticia could reach out to her mom and ask for a donation. However, Morticia refuses to call her mom. Back at school, Slurp breaks free and escapes. Wednesday steals Enid's driver's ed consent form. She uses the opportunity to get a ride to Willow Hill. Morticia drops by the dorm and scolds Thing for keeping them in the dark. Thing counters by saying they treat him like a servant. Morticia apologises and takes Goody's book. As for Wednesday, she traumatises the driving school teacher as she drives to Willow Hill. At Willow Hill, she meets with Dr Fairburn, Tyler's psychiatrist. Fairburn knew Wednesday would visit sooner or later. She has been unable to make a breakthrough with Tyler, and Thornhill has been unforthcoming. Thornhill is in a different facility, and Fairburn needs Wednesday's help. The meeting with Tyler goes as imagined. He thinks Wednesday sensed his darkness and fell for it. According to Tyler, Wednesday got lucky, but not because she is smart. Wednesday breaks the news of Galpin's death, but Tyler refuses to help. Instead, he threatens to kill Enid when he gets free. This provokes Wednesday, and she belittles him. In turn, Tyler loses his cool and nearly turns into his monster self. At school, Eugene informs Pugsley of Slurp's escape. Enid finds a package for Thing. She is saddened when she realises the Addams family forgot Thing's birthday. As she comforts him, someone locks Thing in his little house and kidnaps Enid and Bruno. Meanwhile, Dort orders Bianca to use her siren powers on Morticia to get her to ask her mother for a donation. It turns out Bianca can't use her gifts on Dort, thanks to a relic he carries with him. In the evening, Wednesday gets to the dorm to find Thing locked in and Enid gone. The stalker calls Wednesday and gives her thirty minutes to find Enid and Bruno alive. Outside her door, Wednesday finds a clue. On her way to save Enid, Wednesday runs into Capri. Capri invites Wednesday to join her orchestra for the gala. Wednesday turns down the offer, but Capri insists. The conversation gives Wednesday a clue on how to find Enid. She heads to the music room and plays the note on the clue card. A random mystery door opens up, and Wednesday and Thing walk through it. Someone else is following them, but they can't see who it is. The passage leads to the closed Iago Tower, where Enid and Bruno are chained up. While waiting to be saved, Enid and Bruno try to free themselves before a set of knives falls on their heads. Enid knows they are in this situation because of Wednesday, but she doesn't blame her. Finally, Wednesday arrives and figures out the answer to the clue. She barely manages to save Enid and Bruno. The stalker reveals herself to be another fan of Wednesday. Thanks to her invisibility abilities, she has been able to pull such a scheme to get Wednesday's attention. Enid is unimpressed by Agnes's antics though. Elsewhere, Bianca visits Morticia and uses her powers to convince the latter to call her mom. Later, Wednesday apologises to Thing for forgetting his birthday and gives him a gift. She is pissed to learn her mom took the Goody book. Outside the window, a crow keeps tabs on Wednesday. The episode ends with Slurp attacking the driving school teacher and killing him. The Episode Review This episode gives us a hint at the similarities between Wednesday and her Aunt Ophelia. Morticia never talks much about her sister, but she worries her daughter might suffer the same fate. Simultaneously, we see Wednesday get some closure on the Tyler issue. Their confrontation was necessary. Galpin's death gave Wednesday the perfect reason to see Tyler too. Based on the teaser, we know Tyler's story is not over and we still have a lot of questions. This latest mystery only adds to the fire. What is happening at Willow Hill? Is it possible that the avian is one of the Willow Hill victims? As for the stalker mystery, this episode gives us answers. It turns out it was just a young fan trying to get Wednesday's attention. For what it is worth, Wednesday looked mildly impressed by Agnes's. Given Agnes' abilities, it would serve Wednesday to keep her close. Once again, our suspicion of Dort's motives grows. Why is he intent on getting Morticia's mom to donate to the school? Is he only trying to save Nevermore? Meanwhile, Pugsley is raising another monster, and things are taking a dark turn quicker than anticipated. Previous Episode Next Episode

Best new mobile games on iOS and Android – August 2025 round-up
A mobile version of Subnautica, a Zack Snyder movie tie-in, and the return of Angry Birds are amongst this month's most interesting mobile games. Like Google before it, Netflix's foray into video games doesn't appear to be going to plan. Despite concentrating on mobile – a more accessible sector with a faster turnaround than PC or console titles – the recent deletion of 20 games from its roster, including crown jewels like Hades and Monument Valley 3, isn't a great sign. There's a move afoot to concentrate on Netflix IP, as typified by this month's Blood Line: A Rebel Moon Game, which while perfectly competent is a little uninspiring. Netflix subscribers will still find all-time classics like Into The Breach are available, but it may be wise to make the most of them while you can. iOS & Android, £8.99 (Playdigious) Released for PC in 2018, Subnautica finally makes its way to mobile with this excellent port. Once again your spaceship suffers a rapid unscheduled disassembly over watery planet 4546B, leaving you with just an escape capsule bobbing on the waves, which when you begin the game, is on fire. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. To survive on your own, in an alien ocean, you need to harvest crafting materials to make useful props, like The Swiss Family Robinson but with a fabricator. Starting with longer lasting oxygen tanks and flippers for speedier underwater swimming, you're soon building submarines and entire undersea bases. Touch controls are rarely ideal, but the slow-moving undersea environment doesn't demand twitch reactions, although you will still need to make the odd swift getaway from large aquatic predators. The lovely undersea environments, gradual exploration, and drip feed of new construction blueprints remains hugely compelling. Score: 8/10 iOS & Android, included with Netflix subscription (Netflix) Based on the instantly forgettable Zack Snyder films, Blood Line uses Rebel Moon's lore and universe, which means the plot is complex but turgid, its poker-faced dialogue delivered by still drawings of generic, bearded sci-fi bodybuilders. Behind the characterless facade you'll find a twin stick shooter, whose missions – steal fuel supplies, destroy signal jammers, acquire holographic MacGuffin – boil down to shooting some people and robots, activating switches, then defending an area from more people and robots, before being extracted back to the bearded muscleman mothership. It looks fine, you can play co-op with randos online, and its guns look and feel powerful, with a variety of different characters and skills to experiment with. The action is pretty mindless but also moderately entertaining, provided you skip through the plot exposition at high enough speed. Score: 6/10 iOS & Android, £4.99 (Headup Games) Physics-based bridge building games work really well on a touchscreen, especially on the slightly roomier screen of an iPad, and Bridge Constructor Studio is no exception, its interface proving straightforward and intuitive. Start by sizing up the gap you need to cross, available anchor points, and the vehicles you'll need to get to the other side, then make a bridge using as few materials as possible to bring it in under budget, earning a golden screw for each level successfully completed. In fellow bridge maker, Poly Bridge 3, you could view the winning constructions of players on its leaderboard, which was a nice twist, but even without that Bridge Constructor Studio is a polished puzzle game with near endless scope for tinkering, as you try and complete each challenge with fewer and cheaper materials. Score: 8/10 iOS & Android, free (Pusilung) Borrowing the core gameplay of last year's free-to-play Nightfall: Kingdom Frontier TD, Shadow Kingdom may not look quite as refined, but it's no mere rip-off. Underneath the mild plagiarism and less cartoony art style is a much more balanced and interesting game. Centred around a controllable hero defender, you use the winnings from each wave's dispatched enemies to build resource generators, defensive towers, and barracks to train ground troops. Each level's geography, tower availability, and the constituency of its waves of enemies makes it a singular puzzle to unpick. Watching the occasional ad does help the war effort, and there are deliberate pay walls that take a bit of grinding to get through, but Shadow Frontier still manages to deliver a decent sense of progress and thought-provoking challenges, that often take a few attempts to figure out. Score: 7/10 iOS, included with Apple Arcade Subscription (Apple) One of the founding pillars of the mobile video game ecosystem, Angry Birds has been around seemingly forever. Its latest instalment, Bounce, returns to sling-shotting ball-shaped birds, but this time rather than knocking down buildings, you're trying to eliminate tiles by catapulting and rebounding birds into them. Once again, different birds come with their own destructive properties, so choosing the right ammo for each level really helps you get through it, and since this is Apple Arcade, all hint of microtransaction has been expunged, leaving you to enjoy as much of it as you like. As is traditional for the franchise, it's actually pretty tough once you get going, its cartoon-style good looks belying serious difficulty, even if it never quite manages to match the charm of the Puzzle Bobble games, which relied on a similar mechanic. Score: 6/10 iOS & Android, free (IGG Singapore) More Trending A blatant and terrible looking AI introductory sequence, with poorly translated dialogue, helps set the scene for a game that plays exactly like Kingshot and its ilk. That means you'll be refurbishing a cute village, bulking up its army and defences, and joining a clan. After those gentle introductory hours, you're then unleashed into the wider world, where you'll instantly fall prey to players who've spent more money than you and will repeatedly and ruthlessly demolish your settlement. Given just how many games are built around these mechanics, it suggests there's a market for its brand of skill-free pay-to-win warmongering. And yet it's baffling that a game that only rewards you for waiting and paying would be worth making in the first place, especially when it's dressed up in dismal generative AI art assets.

Why is Percy Hynes White not in Wednesday season 2?
Percy Hynes White, who portrayed Xavier Thorpe in Netflix 's hit series Wednesday, has been dropped from the show's second season, which premiered on August 6. His removal follows allegations of sexual misconduct made against him in January 2023, which the Canadian actor has denied, calling them a 'campaign of misinformation'. Netflix has not officially confirmed the specific reason for White's departure from the Addams Family spin-off. Within the show's narrative, White's character, Xavier, is explained to have left Nevermore Academy and been sent to Reichenbach Academy in Switzerland. White stated in June 2023 that the accusations were false and led to his family being doxxed and friends receiving death threats.
