Here’s what we know so far about Wednesday Season 2.
Season 2 will focus less on Wednesday’s love life

Wednesday didn’t just explore mysteries in the first season. She also found herself in a love triangle with two of her classmates at Nevermore Academy: Xavier Thorpe (Percy Hynes White), the brooding psychic artist, and Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan), a barista at the Weathervane Cafe and son of the town’s sheriff .
In one Episode On the Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard podcast, Ortega expressed her dissatisfaction with the love triangle. That “makes no sense” for a character like Wednesday, she explained. During an appearance in the “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” by NBC in March, Ortega said: “I think we want to increase the horror aspect a little bit and take Wednesday out of her romantic situation. We just let them be their own individual and fight their own crime.”

She also made similar comments in a conversation with Elle Fanning Variety’s „Actors on Actors“, which was released in June. “We want to bring the horror aspect of the show a little more to the fore,” says Ortega, “because it’s so light-hearted and you don’t want to take yourself too seriously with a show like this with vampires, werewolves and superpowers.”
“We’re skipping a romantic interest for Wednesday, which is really great,” she added. Ortega reiterated in a conversation with “AND! News” at the 2023 Emmys in January that the second season will be more focused on horror. “There are some really good one-liners,” Ortega said. She also teased more action: “I think each episode will feel a bit like a movie, which is nice.”

Ortega famously (and controversially) changed script lines. She also vetoed a flash mob scene in the show’s first season. When the Wednesday actress returns for Season 2, she will have even more influence in the decisions.
“When I started on “Wednesday,” I really put my foot down. “I made it clear that everything I had to say mattered and was heard,” Ortega said in an interview with “The Hollywood Reporter“. “As the series progressed, we all got a better feel for each other. It has become a truly collaborative experience. I feel really lucky to be able to be on the team at the start of next season and talk about scripts and give notes.”

Ortega also told Fanning that her position as producer of “Wednesday” was a “natural progression” because she is a “hands-on” person. “With a character like Wednesday, who is so beloved and iconic, I just didn’t want to go wrong,” she explained. “So I try to have as many conversations as possible.”
“As we prepare for a second season, we wanted to get ahead of the curve and make sure we could start conversations sooner. And I’m just so curious. I want to see the outfits, the new characters that are coming, the scripts, and they were gracious enough to let me put on the producer hat.”
Another member of the Addams family could join them
