What Will Wednesday Season 2 Be About?
In this new season, the story dives deeper into Wednesday’s personal relationships, especially with her mother and her inseparable friend Enid. According to co-creator Miles Millar, the protagonist will face complicated relationships that challenge her ability to trust others. Though Wednesday believes she’s in control, she soon realizes human emotions are more complex than she expected.
Over the summer, Wednesday trained her psychic abilities using Goody Addams’ Spell Book, but something goes wrong: her visions begin to fail, and she sheds black tears. Can she still trust what she sees? Romance is out of the picture, and horror is ready to take over Nevermore Academy.
