Where there’s murder, there’s an Addams, and on September 3, 2025, the TV series Wednesday, came out with part 2 of their second season, which was spooky and action-packed throughout all four episodes. Wednesday originated from the twisted creation of Tim Burton, and this season is definitely alive (or dead) with that Tim Burton spirit. Wednesday’s Season 2 was written to be scarier and more jarring than the first season, which mainly focused on teen romance drama. This season came straight out of the nightmarish mind that is Wednesday Addams.

In Season 2, the first four episodes were based on Wednesday’s (Jenna Ortega) premonition that her best friend, Enid (Emma Meyers), was to die. Wednesday may be cold-hearted, but Enid is the only exception as she wormed her way into Wednesday’s heart. With time ticking and a scary vision, Wednesday promised to protect her friend at any cost. While she changed the future for her friend, she didn’t leave the past to rest.

Searching for answers to save her best friend, she visited Tyler, who is a Hyde, (Hunter Doohan), at the asylum he was brought into. Then, by Wednesday's twisted fate, and relentless wanting to solve the truth, she released the Hyde out into the world along with other patients of the asylum. This ends part 1 with her being thrown out of the window and into a coma. Part 2 was released a month after part 1, so viewers were waiting in anticipation for what happened in the show. Did Tyler throw her out the window to protect her or to harm her, as they have a romantic bond depicted from the first season? And if he was protecting her, then from what? 

Part 2 began with Wednesday in a coma, being greeted by her new spiritual guide, who turned out to be their deceased principal from Season 1. Turns out, they’re 12th cousins, twice removed. Principal Weems became her guardian angel, but more of a mental and moral torturer as Wednesday navigated against the people or creatures waiting for Nevermore’s impending doom. With the Hyde out in the wind, blood thirsty for revenge, Nevermore was also faced with Slurp, a brain-eating zombie, Principal Dort’s dark past, and the scariest family reunion ever.

The main twist from part 2 of Wednesday was the Galpin family. Not only is Tyler on the loose, but we also found out about the rest of his family. In part 1, Wednesday helps a woman escape from the LOIS program, which was unethical experimentation on Outcasts, where a scientist stole their powers, and to Wednesday's misfortune, that was Tyler’s mother, another Hyde. Then, to complete the nightmare and horror of the reunion, Tyler’s uncle came back from the dead, literally. Why, and how? Well, that is caused by another Addams, and surprisingly, it’s not Wednesday. Wednesday’s little brother, Pugsley, with his electrical shock, went to Skull Tree to revive the kid with a clock-like heart from the campfire story, and he didn’t know who it was. In his mind, it was his zombie friend, Slurp, but the more Slurp ate people and sucked out their brains, the more his face regenerated, displaying Isaac Knight, who is Tyler’s uncle. 

Not only is Isaac a complete shock to the show because he’s been dead for twenty years, but later in the season, we find out that Thing, the Addams family’s dismembered pet hand, was actually his. Wednesday was unpredictable to say the least, but these answers about who these people were just raised more questions for the third season.

The third season of Wednesday is officially happening, but all of these cliffhangers leave questions about Wednesday’s fate. What happens to Tyler because both his uncle and mother are gone? Why did Wednesday release Tyler? Was it out of love? Lastly, the last scene of  Season 2 of Wednesday was a lady with white hair, writing “Wednesday must die” with blood on the wall. Was that her mysterious Aunt Ophelia?

There are so many questions still unsolved, but with Wednesday, we know that nothing will be left to rest. Get popcorn and a Wednesday’s Misfortune Meal at Wendy’s, and get ready for the third season.
