Wednesday is finally back as Season 2 is set to debut with Part 1 on August 6, and Part 2 on September 3 on Netflix. As Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) gets ready to return to Nevermore Academy, audiences will see familiar faces as well as some new ones.
“Wednesday Season 1 was a table setter, but there’s still so much of the world left to see. It’s been exciting to expand the scope and the vision of the show this season,” executive producer Alfred Gough told Tudum. Co-creator and co-showrunner Miles Millar added, “We have a broader canvas and more toys to play with. The world of Nevermore is much expanded — and we had a great time doing it.”
Check out the full breakdown of Wednesday Season 2 characters below.

Per Netflix, “But, in Season 2, the entire town of Jericho knows Tyler is hyde-ing a dark and deadly truth. Following his Season 1 rampage, Tyler has been moved to Willow Hill Psychiatric Facility for care and monitoring. Unsurprisingly, Jericho’s most infamous serial killer isn’t a fan of life behind bars.”
Joy Sunday as Bianca Barclay: Bianca was introduced in Season 1 and is a siren and didn’t start off as friendly towards Wednesday.

Bianca will be navigating her own complex obstacles this season as she handles the awesome responsibilities that come with being a siren,” Netflix explains.
