Only 4 Episodes? The Wednesday Creators Just Dropped the Truth — And It’s Not What Fans Expected! 😱🖤
💀 Season 2 of Netflix’s Wednesday stops cold after just four episodes — and now the creators have revealed why. It’s not delays or budget cuts… it’s all to set up a shocking midseason twist that flips Wednesday’s world upside down. From dark betrayals to supernatural chaos, the split could make the final episodes the wildest in Addams history.
💬 The truth is creepier than you think — READ MORE 👇👇

After three years of waiting for Netflix to sort their sh*t out, Wednesday season two was released on – you guessed it – Wednesday. But, and it’s a big but, there are only four bloody episodes.
While the episodes are longer than Wednesday season one, it’s but another show to fall victim to Netflix’s barbaric practice of two-part releases.
“FOUR EPISODES OF WEDNESDAY 2 WAS NOT ENOUGH,” one person screamed on Twitter.
Another wrote: “Why the f*ck did it take four years for another season of Wednesday, and why the f*ck did we wait four years for four episodes? Are you guys OK?”
“Netflix dead ass wrong had us waiting on Season 2 of Wednesday for only four episodes. Release the rest right tf now,” someone else wrote.
Luckily, Wednesday creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar have detailed their thought process behind the measly four episodes.
Right, so why is Wednesday season two only four episodes?
Long story short: Because daddy (Netflix) told them so.
Wednesday having just four episodes was “something that came from Netflix”, proboably for financial reasons, but it does mean we get another four on September 3. Guess what? It’s also a Wednesday.
Wednesday’s two-part solution actually worked in their favour
Though the decision to split Wednesday into two parts was pretty much down to Netflix, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar told Forbes that it actually worked out in the long run.
“When we look at these seasons because they’re eight episodes, we always want Episode 4 to have something big and impactful,” Alfred Gough explained. “In Season 1, it was the dance, and then Eugene was attacked by the Hyde, and you weren’t sure if he lived or died.”
If you’ve already binged those four episodes like Slurp guzzled that honey, you’ll know there was a major cliffhanger involving a potential character death. It definitely made for a gripping cliffhanger, but besides that element, the two-part solution allowed its creators to expand their storytelling methods.
Alfred continued: “I think what it allowed us to do — which is something we wanted to do anyway — was change up the storytelling mystery.
“We didn’t want to want a cards down, ‘You can’t find out till the end of the eighth episode’ whodunnit. We wanted it to feel complete in the first four. So, you have that and then it leads into something bigger. As you’ll see in the end, all the cats are out of the bag.”

Essentially, it’s like two mini seasons, with part two serving as the wider narrative created by the cliffhanger in episode four.
Miles Millar added, “Hopefully, the fact that the whodunnit is revealed in Episode 4 is a surprise in itself.
“So, [our challenge as creators is], ‘How do you mix things up and not get repetitive?’ I think that’s always a challenge of any season of TV. You don’t want to repeat yourself. You want to have the essence of the show that people love, but also change it up and make sure that it always feels surprising.”
Wednesday season two, part two, is set for release on September 3, when *hopefully* we’ll finally meet Lady Gaga’s character, Rosaline Rotwood.
