Sun Sep 15 11:00:13 UTC 2024: ## Wednesday Season 2: A Long Wait for the Addams Family’s Return
**Netflix fans are eagerly awaiting the return of Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams in the highly-anticipated second season of the hit show. However, the wait has been considerably longer than expected, with production only beginning in May 2024 despite the show’s confirmation in January 2023.**
**Several factors have contributed to the delay:**
* **Busy schedules:** Both director Tim Burton and lead actress Jenna Ortega have been juggling other projects, including the recent release of “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.”
* **Rising star:** Jenna Ortega’s popularity has soared since Wednesday, leading to various film and TV roles that keep her schedule packed.
* **Hollywood Strikes:** The WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, which lasted for months in 2023, significantly impacted film and TV productions, including Wednesday, halting script writing, filming, and overall progress.
**Despite the delays, production is now underway, and the second season is expected to premiere in 2025, possibly even later.**
**While fans eagerly anticipate the return of the quirky and beloved Wednesday Addams, there are concerns that the long hiatus may affect viewer engagement.** However, the show’s popularity and the creative team’s commitment suggest that Wednesday season 2 will be well worth the wait.
