‘Wednesday’ Season 2 Adds More Supporting Cast Members, New Director and Episode Titles Revealed

2025 is here, which means the second season of Netflix’s hit show Wednesday is returning later this year after having wrapped filming in Ireland a few weeks ago. We already know a heck of a lot about the next season of Wednesday, including most of the new cast. Still, over the Christmas break, we’ve discovered more supporting, featured, or minor characters you’ll see in the next batch of episodes due out later this year.

Many new and returning cast members are already known, but here we’ll reveal several more actors who join Jenna Ortega and the rest in the new season of Wednesday. Netflix has already begun its marketing efforts for the new season (which has yet to get a release date), with it included in a new 2025 sizzle reel that premiered on Netflix’s NFL Games on Christmas Day. As a reminder, you can find our full preview for Wednesday season 2 here.
