Wednesday season 2 should dive more into a certain character, and since fans aren’t entirely sure of the second season’s plot beyond the main character’s stalker, it’s fun to imagine what could take place next. Since Wednesday season 2 recently broke an amazing and impressive record, it’s possible to guess how that affects the new episodes.
What Record Did Wednesday Season 2 Break And What Could It Mean?
In early July 2024, Variety reported that Wednesday season 2 broke a financial record for the “largest production to ever film in Ireland.” As Taoiseach Simon Harris, the Prime Minister of Ireland, said:
“I’m delighted to see Ireland continues to be chosen as a location to film series and movies which supports our economy, creates jobs, showcases our creative talents and promotes our country on a global stage.”
Although no details were shared, this means Wednesday season 2 is a big production, which could suggest a particularly exciting season with special effects, a setting that feels more supernatural, and interesting interactions between Wednesday and the new characters. For one thing, the fact that the season is being filmed in Ireland suggests an absolutely beautiful setting that will take things up a notch.
Since it would be interesting if Wednesday season 2 felt more terrifying than season 1, it will be cool to see if the new episodes amp up the special effects and use the setting more effectively. This costs money, but it sounds like season 2 has a large budget, so this could be achieved. Although Nevermore Academy looks like something out of a horror movie and could be a haunted house on Halloween, it doesn’t feel particularly terrifying in season 1. Wednesday season 2 should make Nevermore an even more dangerous place to be, especially for Jenna Ortega’s character, who is being stalked.
While sometimes, new characters are nowhere near as riveting to watch as the originals, Wednesday is such a strong show that most likely won’t happen. It’s also exciting to imagine the many storylines involving the new cast members in Wednesday season 2. A TV series with a large cast can’t have a small budget since there has to be enough money to pay for all the actors’ salaries. While fans want certain characters to return, the new characters will breathe new life into the series. Since Wednesday has a harsh and prickly personality and doesn’t warm up to new people easily, Wednesday could have some hilarious scenes with new classmates at Nevermore Academy. Wednesday will also likely fight with Steve Buscemi’s principal character, which will add even more conflict to an already thrilling season.
The stalker is another reason why Wednesday season 2 could feel more thrilling and terrifying than the first eight episodes. Wednesday will have to figure out what the stalker wants, and it’s possible there could be a big surprise by the season 2 finale. Maybe they’re spying on her because of a long-held family secret, which would

Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, the Wednesday showrunners, spoke to Netflix.tudum.com about the cast of the second season. From their enthusiasm, it’s clear that there’s a lot to look forward to and that the new cast will be great. They said:
“Our goal this season was to discover some fresh faces as well as invite some acting legends we’ve always admired to join Jenna and the gang at Nevermore. When we survey the talent we’ve assembled we could not be more thrilled. Mission accomplished.”
When Will Wednesday Season 2 Be Released?
According to several sources, it seems that Wednesday season 2 could come out in 2025, although there isn’t a release date as of the time of this writing. Since the season is currently filming, that would leave enough time for editing and finishing off every other aspect of production.
Fans have been thrilled about Wednesday season 2 for a while now and wonder about the plot. In January 2023, Variety reported that the show got a season 2 renewal. The publication also reported that after one week of Wednesday season 1 being available on the streaming platform, it had been watched for 341 million hours, which was a record for an English show. There’s no doubt that Wednesday season 2 is going to be another big hit.
