The writers’ strike has ended and we know a lot of you are waiting eagerly for any and all news on Wednesday, Season 2. Wednesday is a flagship TV show that everyone has fallen in love with.
Many people even think it is going to replace Stranger Things as a whole. In a matter of months, it amassed a huge fan base and even spawned many memes and fan pages as a result.
Jenna Ortega’s dance became a sensation among TikTokers and helped the show reach many viewers. So, if you are still imagining when Wednesday season 2 will come out, we probably have the answer for you!
Writing Has Resumed
The deal between WGA and AMPTP has been reached quite easily, and on September 24, they mentioned they are ready to begin work anew. Scripts are being ratified, and Season 2’s script also happens to be among them.
Moreover, Netflix is definitely planning to resume writing the second season of popular shows. And it is not going to abandon its flagship shows at all. Stranger Things is going to ride on the shoulders of the streaming giant as well, and let us see how far it goes from here.
A Worthy Successor
Stranger Things season 5 is going to be the last in the season, and makers have not yet revealed much about the spinoffs, etc. For a long time, people speculated about what could make a worthy successor to the flagship series of Netflix.
Considering the many mysteries of Wednesday and all the wealth invested in it, there is now no wonder that it is going to be the successor of Stranger Things. The original material consists of various prompts that could diversify the distinctive show to a great extent. Let us take a look at further developments.
Priorities Have Changed
News of Netflix prioritizing Wednesday over Stranger Things confirms our suspicions of it taking over the crown of being the flagship series from the latter. The genres are overlapping because both of them are science fiction and pretty awesome.
Viewers of Stranger Things will gradually shift towards Wednesday because this is very dynamic, and this is a rational decision on the part of Netflix. The story of Wednesday has just begun which means there is plenty of scope to turn it into a multi-season adventure full of romp and frolic. This is a magnificent time to be alive.
Season 2 Release Date
Netflix original shows like Wednesday have varying gaps between seasons. To predict the release date for season 2, we can look at the production timeline for season 1. Season 1 of Wednesday was officially ordered by Netflix in February 2021 and filming began in September 2021.
The first season premiered a little over a year after filming started. Currently, there’s no information about when filming will start for season 2, and it might not even be written yet.
So, we shouldn’t expect season 2 to premiere until at least 2024. Any news about season 2 filming will likely come after the WGA strike ends. Next time someone asks you when season 2 is coming out, tell them this.
Wednesday Cast
For season 2, we can expect the main cast from season 1 to return. This includes Jenna Ortega as Wednesday, Emma Myers as Enid, Percy Hynes White as Xavier, Joy Sunday as Bianca, and Moosa Mostafa as Eugene. Unfortunately, Gwendoline Christie, who played Larissa Weems, won’t be returning as her character met an end in the finale of season 1.
However, we can look forward to seeing Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Isaac Ordonez, Fred Armisen, and George Burcea, who play Morticia, Gomez, Pugsley, Fester Addams, and Lurch, respectively, returning for season 2.
