The first season of Netflix’s Wednesday became one of the streaming service’s biggest hits when it premiered on Nov. 23, 2022. Not only did it benefit from the celebrated stylings of director Tim Burton, but it made a star out of Jenna Ortega, and even launched a social media dance craze based on the title character’s now-iconic moves at her high school rave. Perhaps most importantly, it delivered a funny and respectful update on the beloved Addams Family franchise by sending the oldest daughter Wednesday to boarding school and letting her stand on her own for the first time. In light of all that, it can be a little surprising to learn that Season 2 of Wednesday currently lacks a premiere date.With shooting for Wednesday Season 2 not slated to begin until April, and post-production likely a lengthy process considering the show’s copious special effects, the second season is off the service’s fall schedule and will debut no earlier than 2025. That’s quite a wait for a successful show, especially since the second season was announced back in January 2023, shortly after the first season’s resounding success. The reasons for the delay come down to several factors, most of which stem from either necessity or from things outside the production’s hands. Here’s a breakdown of all the pertinent reasons for Season 2’s delay as of this writing and the ways they have presumably affected the release date for the hit series.It’s very clear that Ortega is the most important factor in the series, which is reflected by her status as a producer starting on Season 2. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Ortega cited how often actors are shut out of the process — particularly younger actors and women — and wanted to ensure that her ideas on the character were heard in a collaborative environment. That entails a good deal more work, since her producer’s duties come on top of the demanding needs of a lead actor. It also requires a lot of effort early on, as scripts are being assembled and the storylines for Season 2 are put in place.
