Netflix Builds Hype for 'Wednesday' Season 2 With Creative Character Posters
Fans of spooky teen drama are buzzing. Netflix just rolled out 10 fresh character posters for the next season of Wednesday Season 2, and they’re more than your average promo shots. Each poster not only shows off one of the show’s main cast members but also lines up with a letter in "Wednesday," using them to spell out the title. It’s bold, stylish, and absolutely dripping with the show’s signature goth energy.
Jenna Ortega leads the crew as Wednesday Addams, standing front and center on the "W" poster. Around her, you’ll spot old favorites and some intriguing new arrivals. Steve Buscemi, who’s bringing a totally new vibe to the school as Principal Dort, gets the spotlight on his own “D.” The rest of the lineup is just as packed: Emma Myers returns as the radiant Enid, Joy Sunday as the powerful Bianca, Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley, Moosa Mostafa as Eugene, Hunter Doohan as the ever-conflicted Tyler, Georgie Farmer as quirky Ajax, and, of course, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán on the "Y" poster as Morticia and Gomez Addams.
Let’s not overlook the last poster – a cheeky nod to Thing, the ever-helpful and always entertaining hand, perched next to a giant “2.” It’s a clever way to highlight both the second season and a fan-favorite character all at once.
New Faces, Supernatural Powers, and Split Release Dates
The posters have done their job: people can’t stop talking about who’s back, who’s new, and what kind of powers might light up the halls of Nevermore Academy this time. Netflix has pulled some serious star power for season two. Lady Gaga, Billie Piper, Christopher Lloyd (yes, Doc Brown himself), and the ever-classy Joanna Lumley are all locked in for the new episodes. And you’ll also spot Christine Ricci and Gwendoline Christie making their return, making the ensemble more stacked than ever.
A huge part of the buzz comes from the supernatural angle. These posters make a point of showing off Outcast powers — whether it’s Bianca’s siren abilities, Enid’s werewolf lineage, or hints at even stranger skills. Nevermore’s world is getting bigger, and it looks like the new season is ready to dive deeper into the secrets and society of those with supernatural talents.
Netflix is taking a different approach to the release too, splitting the season in two. The first four episodes hit screens on August 6, 2025, while fans will have to wait until September 3 for the second batch. That move has only fueled speculation and debates online, with everyone wondering what shocking twists could be waiting in the season’s cliffhanger midpoint.
To stoke more excitement, Netflix also dropped the first six minutes of the opening episode early. Teasers and posters combined have left fans dissecting every frame and pixel, hunting for clues about new storylines, alliances, and rivalries at Nevermore. Whether you’re here for Ortega’s deadpan charm, Buscemi’s entry as headmaster, or just the dark, fun world Tim Burton helped build, season two is shaping up to be the pop culture event of 2025. And the posters? They’ve just upped the anticipation to a whole new level.
