When Does ‘Wednesday' Season 2 Part 2 Come Out? Full Release Schedule
After nearly three years, a new season of Wednesday is finally streaming on Netflix and it's just as creepy, shocking and entertaining as Season 1. Fans may notice that only the first four episodes of Wednesday Season 2 are currently available, so when will the rest be released? Wednesday's sophomore season follows Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) as she returns for another year at Nevermore Academy. And within just two days of school, she has a stalker, is caught in another murder conspiracy, has a haunting premonition of Enid's death and is being chased by a killer one-eyed crow. 'This season, Wednesday must navigate family, friends and old adversaries, propelling her into another year of delightfully dark and kooky mayhem,' the synopsis reads. She also dives headfirst into a new bone-chilling mystery connected to the nearby Willow Hill asylum. Helping her along the way are returning Nevermore students like her best friend Enid, as well as the rest of the Addams Family — Morticia, Gomez, and Pugsley — who play a larger role as they become more involved on campus, including Pugsley, who joins as a new student. In recent years, Netflix has opted to release its most popular shows in multiple parts. Wednesday is also getting the two-part treatment — just like Bridgerton and Emily in Paris — while the final season of Stranger Things will follow a three-part release schedule later this year. Here's everything you need to know about the Wednesday Season 2 release schedule, along with a recap of what happened at the end of Part 1. When Does Wednesday Season 2, Part 2 Come Out? Wednesday Season 2, Part 2 will be released on September 3, 2025, which is four weeks after the first part premieres on the Netflix. The remaining episodes will be released at 3 a.m. ET / midnight PT on the platform. How Many Episodes Are In Wednesday Season 2, Part 2? Just like in Part 1, the second part of Wednesday will also have four episodes, bringing the Season 2 episode total to eight. What Is The Wednesday Season 2 Release Schedule? Wednesday Season 2 will be released in two parts over four weeks in August and September. Check out the full release schedule and announced episode titles below. Warning: Spoilers ahead for Wednesday Season 2, Part 1. How Does Wednesday Season 2, Part 1 End? In the mid-season finale, Wednesday pieces together more puzzles of the mystery she's been investigating, a case that also appears to be connected to the impending death of her best friend Enid, which she witnessed in a vision. She discovers that Augustus Stonehurst, a current patient at Willow Hill, was once the Normie head doctor at the facility. Before that, he taught science at Nevermore Academy. While at Willow Hill, he launched a secret program called the Long-Term Outcast Integration Study (LOIS), through which he harnessed outcast powers in an attempt to become one himself. To cover up the experiments, Stonehurst faked the deaths of the outcasts he used, writing false obituaries and filling their urns with animal remains — something former Sheriff Galpin and private investigator Carl Bradbury had begun to suspect. But Stonehurst ultimately couldn't handle the effects of the experiments and suffered a psychiatric break. Now, his daughter Judi, the executive assistant at Willow Hill, is continuing his mission. Thanks to his experiments, she has even managed to become an Avian herself. With the help of her Uncle Fester, Wednesday locates where the LOIS outcasts are being held and helps free them. Once released, the outcasts turn on Judi, attacking and killing her. Meanwhile, Slurp the zombie devours the brains of both Augustus and Dr. Fairburn, becoming stronger and more human-like with every brain he eats. Meanwhile, last season's villain, Marilyn Thornhill — brought to Willow Hill by Dr. Fairburn in hopes that she could break through to Tyler — still believes she holds control over him as his former master. Amid the chaos at the asylum, she breaks him out, but he returns the favor by sinking his claws into her, killing her. In the final moments of Wednesday Season 4, Tyler spots Wednesday at the end of the hallway and charges at her in full Hyde form. He throws her out the window, and she lands hard on the concrete below, her body covered in blood. 'I've always dreamed of looking death in the face," her voiceover says. "But in my final moments, all I hear is my mother's words ringing in my ears. Maybe I have made everything worse... much worse.' The Part 2 teaser shown at the end of the mid-season finale reveals that Wednesday isn't dead, but she's in a coma. With Tyler and Slurp now on the loose, what could possibly go wrong? The first four episodes of Wednesday Season 2 are streaming on Netflix. Check out the official trailer below.

‘Wednesday' Cliffhanger: Does [SPOILER] Survive? What the Ending of Part 1 Means for Season 2's Final Episodes
SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers for Season 2 Part 1 of 'Wednesday.' After defeating an evil resurrected pilgrim, a hyde and its master in Season 1 of 'Wednesday,' the Addams family heroine (Jenna Ortega) finds herself at the center of an even more urgent mystery in Season 2. There's been a new string of murders in Jericho, and according to one of Wednesday's psychic visions, her roommate, Enid (Emma Myers), might be next. More from Variety 'Wednesday' Stays Strong in Season 2 With the Endlessly Intriguing Jenna Ortega: TV Review 'T. J. Hooker' Reboot Film Lands at Netflix 'KPop Demon Hunters' Becomes Netflix's No. 4 Most Popular English-Language Movie Ever Wednesday quickly figures out that she's dealing with an avian, someone with the ability to control birds who is using them to kill people. She was too late to save Sheriff Galpin (Jamie McShane), who was in the middle of his own investigation when he died, but is able to recover some of his evidence: the obituaries of several outcasts who were patients at the Willow Hill Psychiatric Hospital. Each newspaper clipping is connected on a bulletin board to the name Lois. In 'If These Woes Could Talk,' the fourth and final episode of Season 2 Part 1, Wednesday and her grandmother, Hester Frump (Joanna Lumley), analyze the ashes of the supposedly cremated outcasts from the obituaries. They discover that the urns contain no human remains, so Wednesday enlists her Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen) to infiltrate Willow Hill and look for clues about Lois. Meanwhile, Wednesday's protégée, Agnes (Evie Templeton), discovers that the outcasts' fake death certificates were signed by Augustus Stonehurst, a normie who used to teach at Nevermore and later became the head doctor at Willow Hill before losing his mind and being institutionalized himself. After a freakish bird attack on campus at Nevermore that almost kills Thing (Victor Dorobantu), Wednesday chases a hooded figure that she believes to be the murderous avian, but she doesn't catch them in time. Instead, she happens upon her suspicious new music teacher, Miss Capri (Billie Piper) having a meeting with current Willow Hill head doctor Dr. Fairburn (Thandiwe Newton), but they say they're simply setting up a new music class at the asylum. Meanwhile, Thing breaks into Willow Hill to tell Fester to find Stonehurst, and he does. Stonehurst is old and nonverbal now, but his talking parrot gives Fester a list of numbers to use to find Lois. In the process, though, he gets spotted by Marilyn Thornhill aka Laurel Gates (Christina Ricci), who was using Tyler's (Hunter Doohan) hyde persona to try to eradicate outcasts last season. Hoping to be allowed to see Tyler, who is chained in solitary confinement, Thornhill tells Dr. Fairburn that Fester is there to snoop on Wednesday's behalf. Fester gets locked up too. When Thing tells Wednesday that Fester has been discovered, she decides to break into Willow Hill by hiding in Miss Capri's car as she drives to the hospital for music class. Inside the asylum, Wednesday finds and frees Fester, and the two of them search for Lois together. Using the numbers from the parrot as the code to get through a mysterious door, they find a secret basement with the acronym L.O.I.S. written on the wall: Long-term Outcast Integration Study. Deeper in the basement, they find all the outcasts from the obituaries alive and locked in individual cells, where they're being kept and experimented on. Wednesday deduces that Sheriff Galpin had discovered the project and was worried that Tyler, his son, would be the next patient to have his death faked. Soon, Wednesday and Fester run into the hooded figure from before: It's Judi (Heather Matarazzo), Dr. Fairburn's assistant, who is really Augustus Stonehurt's daughter. She reveals that Dr. Fairburn is only the public-facing leader of Willow Hill; in truth, Judi has been continuing her father's work behind the scenes. Stonehurst wanted to be an outcast, and was developing a method to extract their abilities and give them to normies. Case in point: Judi was born a normie, but her father turned her into an avian. Using his electric superpower, Fester causes an explosion that frees the L.O.I.S. subjects from their cells. All of them immediately attack Judi except for a quiet, fearful woman played by Frances O'Connor. Wednesday encourages Fester to escape while she stays behind to help the woman. The asylum has gone into high alert, and Thornhill sneaks into Tyler's dungeon amid the chaos to free him. Instead of embracing his master, he kills her. Slurp (Owen Painter), the zombie Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez) reanimated earlier in the season who was sent to Willow Hill after killing a normie, also gets freed. He eats Dr. Fairburn's brain, then calls Stonehurst 'old friend' and kills him too. As Wednesday tries to walk the mysterious outcast out of Willow Hill, she runs into Tyler in full hyde form. The woman with Wednesday escapes, but Tyler picks Wednesday up and throws her through a window as cops arrive on the scene. They shoot at Tyler, but he escapes, unharmed. Over a shot of Wednesday's bloodied, unconscious body on the ground outside of the asylum, she says in voiceover, 'I've always dreamed of looking death in the face. But in my final moments, all I hear is my mother's words ringing in my ears: Maybe I have made everything worse. Much worse.' Of course, we know that these aren't really Wednesday's final moments. A teaser for Part 2 of Season 2, premiering on Sept. 3, shows Wednesday comatose in bed before waking up, wide-eyed. There are also shots of Slurp wandering through a Christmas carnival, Tyler hiding in what appears to be a sewer before emerging back into civilization in a cloak, and Enid nervously wielding a sword. Still, so many questions remain ahead of Season 2's final episodes. What does Tyler want now that he's free, and how will he manage his monstrous abilties now that he's murdered his master? How will Wednesday solve the mystery with her injuries and the loss of her psychic ability? Will her mother, Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones), finally help her harness and understand her visions? And who is the woman Wednesday rescued from L.O.I.S.? We don't have any answers yet, but one thing is for sure: As Morticia says in voiceover during the teaser, 'Something wicked this way comes.'

Wednesday season 2's villain has been unveiled.(X/@WednesdaysDaily) Season two kicks off with Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) in full detective mode again. This time, she is hunting whoever is threatening her werewolf roommate, Enid (Emma Myers), and orchestrating strange deaths around Nevermore Academy. That trail leads her to Willow Hill Psychiatric Facility, now housing season one's Hyde, Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan). She immediately questions the motives of Willow Hill's smiling 'normie' director, Dr. Rachael Fairburn (Thandiwe Newton), and suspects the new Nevermore music teacher, Isadora Capri, may be tied to the mess. But Judi Spannegel? No one saw that coming. Inside the Wednesday season 2 villain twist As revealed in episode four, Judi is not just Fairburn's overly eager assistant. She is the daughter of Augustus Stonehurst - a former Nevermore science teacher and ex-chief psychiatrist at Willow Hill - who ran illegal experiments on Outcasts to steal their powers.

Heather Matarazzo's return and tough Hollywood journey Judi's big reveal marks a comeback for Heather Matarazzo, known for roles in Welcome to the Dollhouse and The Princess Diaries. It is her first high-profile part in years. When she first shows up in the series, she is all sunshine and cardigans - but her shift to full-blown villain is chilling. Off-screen, Matarazzo has been open about struggling with Hollywood. In a 2022 thread on X (then Twitter), she wrote: 'I feel at a loss because I feel I have done THE WORK, for a long time, with no complaint… but today, something broke.' She echoed similar thoughts to The Guardian back in 2017, admitting, 'I don't know if I took a step back from Hollywood or Hollywood took a step back from me,' reports USA Today.
