A spinoff series?

Meanwhile, Jenna Ortega opened up about looking back at her performance in the show and wondering whether she could have interpreted the character any differently. She added, “I don’t think I’ve ever shot a scene in my life that has not kept me up at night and given me nightmares. I can’t watch the stuff that I do because I don’t think I would ever show my face again. I was 17 or 18 when we started this, and I was so nervous and so scared. The first two weeks of production were some of the most chaotic, stressful moments in my career. When I see some of the old footage, I can see the confusion or the stress.”

Earlier this month, the trailer of the second season was released. It showed the return of Wednesday to Nevermore Academy, to navigate family, friends and old adversaries. It propels her into another year of mystery, mayhem, and monstrous secrets. Wednesday says, “Secrets are the bedrock of the Addams family. The sooner I get answers, the sooner I can save Enid — or die trying.”

The second season will be released in two parts. Part 1 premieres on August 6, with episodes 1 to 4, while the last four episodes come out on September 3, 2025.
