Netflix’s breakout hit Wednesday is back with the second part of Season 2, and things have officially gone from weird… to wicked.
The Vibe: More Secrets, More Shadows
Part 2 doesn’t waste time. It plunges us right back into the chaos brewing at Nevermore Academy, and this time, it’s personal. With danger creeping closer and trust wearing thin, Wednesday Addams finds herself untangling a mystery that ties into her own bloodline.
The pacing is tighter, the stakes feel heavier, and every episode ends with a twist that actually works—no cheap shocks here.
Jenna Ortega Evolves—and It Works
Jenna Ortega has already cemented her place as the definitive Wednesday, but this time she shows us something new. Beneath the sarcasm and signature stare, there’s a flicker of vulnerability. It’s subtle, but it adds weight to her performance.
The dynamic between Wednesday and Enid (Emma Myers) continues to shine—quirky, complicated, and strangely wholesome.
Visuals, Style & Direction: Still a Feast
The aesthetic is still one of the show’s biggest wins. Think gothic fairy tale meets modern supernatural thriller. The sets are moody, the costumes are rich in character, and the overall tone feels even more refined than the first part of the season.
Hits and Misses
What’s great:
The mystery is more focused and satisfying
Wednesday’s growth feels real, not forced
World-building goes deeper without getting lost in the lore

Final Thoughts
Wednesday Season 2 Part 2 doesn’t just continue the story—it digs deeper into its dark heart. With sharper writing, more emotional layers, and that signature Addams wit, this chapter proves the series has staying power.
It’s strange, stylish, and refreshingly self-aware. If you loved Season 1 and were hooked by Part 1 of this season, you’ll be more than satisfied. And yes—there’s just enough left hanging to make the wait for Season 3 deliciously painful.
Rating: 8/10
