Review of Wednesday Season 2

If you’re new here, and stumbled upon this blog through the mythical powers of the Internet, welcome! I know a lot of visitors to my website are people who randomly come upon this website through search engines like Google, but I also do have a lot of visitors who come back. Regardless: my name is Ashley, and I started this blog in order to keep track of everything I’m coming across in the world.

Throughout graduate school and my gap year, where I focused on growing my business, I spent a lot of time watching television and movies, picking up any books that interested me. Then, at the end of August 2025, I got a new 8-5 job and for the first time in my life had to go into an office every single day for hours on end.

I had worked in-person jobs before in offices, but not for this long. It certainly was an adjustment period, especially considering I had a trip to Turkey booked and ready to go less than three weeks into the job, and I had to learn how to use my free time in an efficient way that also recharged my batteries.

When I got home I didn’t want to do much else besides sit and rot though. I wasn’t writing as many blog posts as I was before, nor I was I really writing any poems. All I wanted to do was doom scroll or sit and watch endless amounts of television without reflecting on what I was watching.

This did impact my mental health for a bit, but I’m now learning how to have more fun without feeling completely exhausted! Watching Wednesday’s season two actually marked a shift in how I was using my free time, as it was one of the first shows I watched when I decided this needed to change.

This was a much anticipated watch for me, especially considering how I had binge watched season one. I will say upfront though: how they split this season did actually had me lose my interest a little bit.

Let’s get into the review! I already want to dive into my thoughts and don’t want to ramble in the introduction.

Wednesday comes back to Nevermore, now a celebrity, but discovers there’s a handful of new problems she has to overcome.

As I wrote above, this season takes place directly after the events of season one. Wednesday goes back to Nevermore after what happened in season one and discovers she’s now a celebrity on campus, rather than someone everyone should actively avoid and pretend doesn’t exist. At the same time, her brother, Pugsley, is starting at school and has his own group of friends that are causing new problems.

When Wednesday pulls a stunt after the new principal asks her to be the honor student, that kickstarts the events of the rest of the series. Wednesday is going on her own little investigation, especially when new antagonists emerge from the shadows. She also keeps have psychic visions, which can help her,

Bigger problems emerge when Pugsley turns a former dead student into a zombie, who then becomes the talk of the town because he keeps eating people. This happens at the same time as other murders throughout the town, meaning that there’s a lot going on throughout this season. Throw Tyler back into the mix and then we have a perfect storm brewing.

All of this is also balanced by the dynamics between the students at the school, as Wednesday’s tactics continue to ostracize her from her peers at time, including her bubbly roommate, and we also see how her mother is also up to something and moving within her own agenda.

I won’t go into further detail in this review to avoid spoilers, but I did find all of the events in this season to be coherent, but a bit overwhelming at times. From what I remember of season one, it felt a little less busy and chaotic—it still accomplished a lot when it came to story and characterization, but this season was a completely different vibe in that sense.

I think what happens does make sense—don’t get me wrong on that. The only thing I didn’t care for were the characters being classic teenagers and pulling teenager moves on each other, but to each their own on that end. It makes sense they act that way, but I personally did not cate for it.

Overall Thoughts

For me, while I binge watched season one, I think season two is the weaker one of this duo. There are some fun moments, like Enid and Wednesday swapping bodies for an episode and being forced to act like the other’s personality while in their bodies, but I wanted more from the show overall.

I do wonder how much of the forced break led me to this feeling though. Although this review is coming out much later, I actually did watch this season as the episodes came out in the moment, and they split the season into two chunks to portion out how it was released. When the first block was released, I was interested, but in the time between I began to lose some momentum for this show.

I prefer when series drop episodes the Korean drama way: they do two episodes a week when it comes to Netflix releases. That works perfectly within my schedule, and I can watch everything and anticipate when the next episode is coming out next week.

Anyways: I think this is an entertaining season overall, but it’s not the sharpest. It could be better in the end, even though the actors did a great job with their roles and making this world come alive.
