Critics' Reviews of the Second Season of "Wednesday"

  • The first part of the second season of "Wednesday" was released on August 6, 2025.
  • Critics have positively evaluated Jenna Ortega's performance and the visual style of the series.
  • The season finale is scheduled for September 6, 2025.

The series Wednesday returned to Netflix after a lengthy hiatus. The first part of the second season, which consists of four episodes, was released on August 6, 2025. Critics' reviews of the new episodes have already emerged.

Season 1, which premiered in November 2022, became the most popular series in Netflix history, amassing 252.1 million views. The first season received a rating of 73% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, while viewers rated it at 85%.

Season 2 started with 85% positive reviews from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. However, the audience rated it at 73% after about 50 reviews.

Critics' Reviews of Characters and Plot

Critics note that Jenna Ortega, who plays the lead role, once again showcases her talent. The Telegraph describes her as the ideal Wednesday Addams with "a gaze like a malevolent owl."

However, some reviewers, such as Collider, argue that the series occasionally "struggles" due to the large number of new characters that hinder the development of the older ones. For example, the character Enid, previously closer to Wednesday, receives less attention.

Critics also emphasize the emotional depth of the relationships between Wednesday and her mother, Morticia, which became the central theme of the season.

Visual Style and Overall Assessment

Critics highlight the visual aesthetics but point out that the season's repetitive events and characters create a sense of chaos. However, most agree that the second season continues the story and maintains the gothic atmosphere and dark humor.

The final part of the season will be released on September 6, 2025, promising even more intriguing revelations.
