by

Oh, the joy and anticipation that fills my heart as I write this! As a devoted fan of Wednesday Addams, I can hardly contain my excitement as the news of season 2 wrapping up filming has finally arrived. It’s been an emotional rollercoaster, waiting ever so patiently for our beloved Wednesday to return to Nevermore Academy.

Get ready to break into a Wednesday Addams-esque jig of joy, as there’s plenty of thrilling news coming your way for admirers of the Netflix original series! If you’ve been eagerly counting down the days until the second season of Wednesday arrives, we’re one step closer to revisiting Nevermore Academy. Filming has now wrapped on season 2!

As per a report from What’s on Netflix, the much-awaited second season of the show wrapped up filming on November 29. This significant event was apparently revealed by one of the crew members who posted a graphic on social media, containing a message of gratitude from the character Wednesday: “I express my gratitude for the countless hours of effort, sweat, and eerie lighting that were invested in this production.

It’s clear that Wednesday doesn’t often express her feelings openly, so she carefully chose her words to avoid misunderstanding: “If I could muster some warmth, I might admit it was enjoyable. But let’s not exaggerate.” However, the excitement of Wednesday season 2 is palpable as filming has finally wrapped up, bringing the next chapter even closer.

The second season of the Emmy-nominated show started being made as early as May 2024, indicating it may air in 2025. Excitement for the new season is high due to new cast members and a guest appearance by a prominent pop star. Furthermore, a book related to the series could offer clues about its release date.

Wednesday: Book of Outcasts coming in May 2025

In addition to learning that filming for season 2 has concluded, word has spread about a companion book for the series set to be published in 2025. This book, titled “Wednesday: Book of Outcasts“, is scheduled to release on May 6, 2025, by Penguin Random House. Authored by Ally Russell and the show’s writers, this official guide will delve into the inner workings of Nevermore Academy.

Here’s how the publisher describes the 80-book, which is available to pre-order now:

Nevermore Academy is home to Outcasts of all kinds, from the colorful werewolf Enid Sinclair to the persuasive and beautiful siren Bianca Barclay. Uncover their mysterious world with fun facts, profiles, talents, and more in this character guide based on the hit show.

Enter the mysterious world of Nevermore Academy with this full-color, hardcover guide to the first season of the global phenomenon. Go on a deep dive into Wednesday Addams’s friends and foes, Nevermore Academy, the town of Jericho and the Addams family. Peruse the complete guide of Outcasts seen in the show: psychics, Hydes, gorgons, sirens, werewolves, and more! Featuring in-depth character profiles, facts on each Outcast clique, complete coverage on their supernatural abilities—and notes from Wednesday Addams herself—this book is a must-have for curious fans.

Given the publication date of the book is May 2025, it provides a possible timeline for when Netflix might unveil season 2. Although we can’t guarantee that season 2 will debut on the same day as the book (which would be May 8), it seems likely that the show’s comeback won’t be significantly delayed from the book’s release, making it an ideal marketing strategy for season 2.

After finishing filming right before the holiday season, the production of Wednesday season 2 will move into post-production, which could last several months. This phase involves tasks such as editing, adding special effects, voiceovers, and other behind-the-scenes work that readies each episode for worldwide streaming on Netflix. Fingers crossed that the release of Wednesday won’t be delayed any longer than is required.

Speaking of it, a launch as early as May 2025, or even May itself, might just be optimistic thinking. While we can certainly anticipate that post-production will wrap up by spring or summer, Netflix has a rather congested schedule with numerous original series set to return the following year. As a result, it seems more likely that “Wednesday” will make her eagerly anticipated return in the fall instead.
