Okay, so, real talk: Wednesday Season 2 is reportedly hitting our screens SOON, and I’m not ready—but also, I AM. Before we get lost in new Nevermore mysteries, we NEED to revisit where it all began. Seriously, if you haven’t re-binged the first season of Netflix’s ‘Wednesday’ yet, what are you even doing?! It’s an 8-part fantasy series that’s pure gold. Let’s get into why it’s the perfect binge session, no cap.
1. Jenna Ortega’s Deadpan Delivery Is Just… *Chef’s Kiss*
Look, I’ll be honest—Jenna Ortega IS Wednesday Addams. Her performance in Season 1 was just next-level, right? Every single eye-roll, every barely-there smirk, every sarcastic comeback… she nailed it. She literally became the character. It’s a masterclass in subtlety and sass, and you just know she’s gonna bring that same energy (and then some) to Season 2. Honestly, we can’t get enough!
2. Nevermore Academy: My Dream School, TBH

Forget Hogwarts, okay? Nevermore Academy is WHERE IT’S AT. A gothic boarding school for outcasts, filled with sirens, gorgons, werewolves, and, well, Wednesdays. The aesthetic? Immaculate. The secrets hidden within its walls? Chef’s kiss. It’s the perfect backdrop for all the spooky shenanigans, and I’m lowkey obsessed with every single detail of that campus. Can I enroll, please?
3. Thing, The Unsung Hero We All Deserve
Can we talk about Thing for a second?! This disembodied hand is literally the most loyal, expressive, and hilarious sidekick ever. He’s Wednesday’s ride-or-die, her personal assistant, and honestly, the best character development for a severed hand in TV history. Every time he communicated with Wednesday, I was like, ‘OMG, same!’ He’s a total mood and we’re living for his antics.
4. Enid Sinclair: The Pop of Color We Didn’t Know We Needed
Enid, our favorite werewolf-in-training, is the absolute best contrast to Wednesday. Her vibrant personality and rainbow-bright style just scream ‘optimism,’ even when Wednesday is being… well, Wednesday. Their roommates-turned-besties arc is EVERYTHING. It’s the ultimate ‘opposites attract’ friendship, and honestly, seeing Enid grow into her powers was so satisfying. We stan a colorful queen!
5. The Mystery Plot Was Genuinely Gripping
Okay, but the actual mystery of the Hyde monster? I was on the edge of my seat! Every episode gave us new clues, new suspects, and new twists. I spent half the season trying to figure it out myself, and honestly, I was wrong every single time. It kept me guessing right up until the reveal, which is exactly what you want from a good whodunit. So good!
6. Tim Burton’s Signature Style, But Make It Modern
You can just FEEL Tim Burton’s influence all over this show, right? From the gothic architecture to the quirky characters and that delightfully dark humor, it’s peak Burton but with a fresh, modern twist. He directed the first four episodes, and you can totally see his touch in the overall aesthetic. It just *works* for the Addams Family vibe. Honestly iconic.
7. The Iconic Dance Scene That Broke The Internet
Let’s be real, you know exactly what I’m talking about. The Rave’N Dance scene? Jenna Ortega’s choreography? The Cramps’ ‘Goo Goo Muck’? That moment literally took over TikTok, and for good reason! It’s mesmerizing, unique, and perfectly encapsulates Wednesday’s vibe. You *have* to rewatch it at least five times. No cap, it’s still living rent-free in my head.
8. Wednesday’s Fashion Is A Mood Board For Life
Forget fast fashion, Wednesday’s wardrobe is timelessly chic and perfectly gothic. From her striped Nevermore uniform to that epic black Roksanda gown at the Rave’N, every outfit is a statement. It’s elegant, dark, and totally her. I’m lowkey trying to incorporate more black-and-white stripes into my life, thanks to her. She literally invented dark academia fashion goals.
9. The Love Triangles (Or Squares?) Were Messy In The Best Way
Okay, so Wednesday, Tyler, and Xavier? That whole dynamic was a rollercoaster! You thought you knew who to root for, then BOOM, plot twist! It added so much drama and kept us guessing about Wednesday’s ~feelings~ (or lack thereof). Plus, the undertones with Enid were also just *chef’s kiss*. It’s all the teen drama we crave, but with a supernatural twist!
10. The Cameos That Made Us Scream
Christina Ricci as Ms. Thornhill?! My jaw dropped! Seriously, seeing the OG Wednesday Addams back in action, playing a completely different (and secretly sinister!) role was pure genius. It was such a brilliant nod to fans of the original movies and added another layer of delicious irony to the whole show. We love a full-circle moment!
11. The Soundtrack Slaps Harder Than Wednesday’s Sarcasm
From the original score by Danny Elfman to the perfectly curated needle drops like ‘Goo Goo Muck’ and that *iconic* cello rendition of ‘Paint It Black,’ the music in Wednesday is just… everything. It perfectly sets the mood, amps up the tension, and makes every scene feel even more epic. Honestly, it’s on my regular rotation playlist, no shame.
12. That CLIFFHANGER Ending?! We Need Season 2 NOW!
Okay, but can we talk about that ending?! Wednesday getting that mysterious text message, the stalker reveal, the lingering questions about Nevermore’s future… I literally screamed at my TV. It left us on such a massive cliffhanger that it’s impossible NOT to rewatch to catch all the clues you missed. Season 2, you better deliver, because my nerves can’t take much more!
