Wednesday Season 2 || Gratifying & Enlightening

Heaving a sigh of relief as I write this, essentially because I’ve been on this series for about a month now, if not more, so I’m super glad to be done. It’s the second season of Wednesday, and it’s odd that I looked forward to this season as much as I did considering that I was disgruntled they took that much time to release a second season.

Wednesday Season 2 (2025)

So, yeah, it’s Season 2 and Wednesday is quicker on her toes. She delivers her sarcastic one-lines and deadpan wit with even more finesse. More unapologetic, and more brutal with her stares. I’ve always loved her performance. The coldness of heart and mind that leaves you gasping how one could be that cold, but then, in rare moments, there’s a glimpse of vulnerability that’s just endearing.

I love the mystery and the thickening of the plot in the never ending saga of Nevermore. Now, there’s a new villain committing atrocious crimes with crows. This masked villain follows Wednesday Addams everywhere, and it’s quite clear that this entity has a huge bone to pick with not just her, but perhaps Nevermore as a whole. The clever, dark humour and the perpetually eerie performance just keeps you glued to your screen.

I love the introduction of the invisible Agnes that makes the cold-hot friendship of Wednesday and Enid even more dynamic. I love how their friendship evolves into something much more worthwhile, and it’s nice to see that somewhat vulnerable side of Wednesday when it comes to her friends. I love the incorporation of Isaac Night in the whole story. Didn’t see where it was going to but a lot of things made a lot more sense, making this season not just gratifying but extremely eye-opening.

What were my little ticks about this series? First off, there were quite a few plot holes, introduction of stuff only to leave it hanging. The bird lady left the picture so unceremoniously, even though she came in with a bang. I expected some grand reveal, or something that will leave me with a gasp, but her rather uneventful termination to re-introduce the Hydes and their own family drama was just silly.

Also couldn’t care less about Bianca and her mother’s whole thing with the Principal. I think I only sat up and got interested when it had to do with Wednesday’s grandmother and her fortune. Whether Bianca’s story was developed or not, I just couldn’t bring myself to be bothered. I’m sorry.

I just love that the film ended on a more darker note than it started in the beginning. I really want to know the whole mystery with Aunt Ophelia, Wednesday’s aunt, and why their psychic abilities are so deeply intertwined. Hopefully, I don’t have to wait another three years. It really was a beautiful season, and the whole body exchange thing was just chef’s kiss.

It’s undoubted that every film production would have its ups and downs. But, I’m glad there was more to love and less to hate in Wednesday Season 2. Fingers crossed for Season 3. 4.4 stars from me. I honestly have to recommend this.
