The sequel to Netflix’s hit series Wednesday has been in production since May 2024, with a number of exciting developments and several big names joining this time around. The previous season was a huge success for the streaming giant and boosted actress Jenna Ortega’s exposure, particularly in the horror genre. As the Netflix series prepares to return with more adventures and mysteries, Ortega has seemingly revealed what fans can expect. Speaking to the media, the actress shared that there will be “new villains, new supernatural abilities and an even darker tone.”
In May of this year, Netflix confirmed the start of production on the series with a picture of the entire cast. “Wednesday Season 2 is NOW IN PRODUCTION. Please send our cast a round of double snaps – now with Christopher Lloyd, Steve Buscemi, Thandiwe Newton, Joanna Lumley, Haley Joel Osment, Heather Matarazzo and Billie Piper!” the post read.
