Wednesday Season 2 on Netflix: Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday for Netflix totally recreated the character from the Addams Family. Now she becomes a dark teenager and funny who faces the challenges of life in Nevermore Academy, a school made for supernatural outcasts. The first season sets up a murder mystery, creepy visions of Wednesday who is reluctantly moving towards friendship and vulnerability.
Thus Wednesday starts with being expelled from her normal school and being ushered to Nevermore, where her psychic powers are fine-tuned. She is visited now with foreboding visions with clues to unravel the weird happenings within and outside the academy. Her eminent coldness and curiosity attract friendly and hostile attention quickly.
Before long, the happenings have stirred up a series of gruesome murders within Nevermore as well as the neighbouring town of Jericho. Wednesday suspects that the monster Hyde is behind these atrocities. Along with her werewolf roommate Enid, vampire classmate Yoko, and town boy Tyler, she digs into this mystery while collecting the suspicion of the teachers, police, and fellow students.
As much a romantic tension builds with Tyler, also Xavier-another-mysterious-milestones-holding student looms awkwardly at the periphery. With such entanglement, Wednesday is not helped much in finding out the Hyde identity. Until all of a sudden, it is brought to light that the very Hyde he was after was Tyler. Under influence from Laurel Gates-a disgruntled descendant of the founders of Jericho who wanted revenge against Nevermore.
A thrilling grand finale with Wednesday showering wit and wile over Tyler and Laurel to thwart their deadly schemes with help from her new friends, and Nevermore was sanctioned following all that chaos; however, Wednesday’s character arc did not indeed conclude without emotional growth, brand-new friendships, and the ominous message-that adventures are far from over.

Tyler being alive and more Nevermore mysteries tossed into Season 2 should take a heavier dark turn. New characters being introduced, all compacted into Wednesday’s evolving powers and identity. It would, however, be worthwhile to take a soak into Season 1. With all of its gripping mysteries, gothic style, and haunting performances, before plunging into Season 2.
