While not the ratings-crushing global phenomenon that its first season was, Wednesday’s second season is still being watched by millions of viewers who are likely in the same boat wondering where the story will go when Part 2 is finally available to stream via Netflix subscription. The first four episodes went deeper and darker, with new recruit Steve Buscemi’s headmaster no doubt embroiled in illicit activities alongside the rest of Nevermore’s weirdness. But the showrunners point to another character being the ultimate wild card, as it were.
Season 2’s fourth installment not only solved the LOIS mystery and identified the secret Avian, but also capped off with Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday being thrown to her not-quite-death by Hunter Doohan’s hulked-out Hyde after the creature killed Christina Ricci’s Laurel. It was a quite hectic way to set up the back half of the season, although I think I’m a tad more worried about Enid than Tyler’s monster mashing. Still, let’s see what the co-creators are teasing for Part 2's arrival on the 2025 TV schedule.
