We’re officially one step closer to the return of Wednesday on Netflix. Tim Burton’s Addams Family spinoff series debuted in 2022 and quickly became one of the biggest hits in Netflix history. Fans have been waiting more than two years for new episodes of the series to drop, and while the show won’t be back until 2025, Netflix is offering up a glimpse at what’s to come.

On Wednesday morning, Netflix announced that production on Wednesday Season 2 has officially come to an end. Filming took place in Ireland and has now entered the post-production stage, preparing the second season for its release next year. To celebrate the end of filming, Netflix released a brand new photo of star Jenna Ortega as the titular Wednesday Addams. Take a look!
Along with the release of the photo, showrunners and executive Producers Al Gough and Miles Millar said that the new season would be “exploring more Addams Family Lore and [they] are excited to introduce an eclectic lineup of incredible new characters!”
“This season, Wednesday’s journey is darker and more complex as she navigates family, friends, new mysteries, and old adversaries, propelling her headlong into another year at Nevermore,” the duo told Netflix’s TUDUM publication.
Ortega is reteaming with Tim Burton on the second season of Wednesday, after making the first season of the series and following it up with a partnership on the hit film Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
