Netflix Releases First Part of Wednesday Season 2 by Tim Burton on August 6 With Jenna Ortega, 80% Rotten Tomatoes Score

Netflix released the first part of the second season of "Wednesday," the popular supernatural series centered on the eldest child of the Addams family, on August 6, 2025. The series, which was created by Tim Burton and stars Jenna Ortega, has been noted for its darker and bloodier tone compared to the first season. The initial episodes have received mixed reviews, with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 80% based on 20 reviews. Critics have praised Ortega's performance and the show's gothic atmosphere, but some have criticized the series for uneven tone, humor, and a departure from the original Addams Family source material. The first part of season two ended with multiple character deaths and a major threat at Nevermore Academy, setting the stage for the upcoming second part, whose release date has been announced but is yet to arrive. The show continues to attract significant viewer interest, building on its previous success where it amassed 1.7 billion hours watched in the three months following its initial debut in November 2022. The split release schedule for season two has been explained by the creators, and the series remains one of Netflix's most talked-about titles this summer.
