3 January 2023, 15:49
Will season 2 of Wednesday air on Netflix? Here are the rumours about the new series leaving the streaming platform ahead of the new season.
Wednesday on Netflix took the world by storm thanks to Jenna Ortega playing the titular Addams Family character and fans are already hoping for a season 2.
However, as we’re still waiting for confirmation that a second season will definitely be happening, there are now reports swirling that if another season drops, it may not air on Netflix.

Why Wednesday may not air season 2 on Netflix
Of course, there is yet to be official confirmation that a second season is in the works, however, in spite of the records broken on Netflix, the platform may not have a say at all in whether the potential new season leaves the streaming giant.
This is because the series is a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) product, and according to Deadline, Amazon and MGM closed an $8.5bn (£7.06bn) merger – meaning that the rights to Wednesday may go with it.
However, the publication did also report that Amazon’s MGM deal doesn’t automatically mean that all content from the producer becomes exclusive to Amazon Prime Video.
So, there is still a chance that Netflix may still acquire the rights for a second season of Wednesday.
In regards to a potential season two, the show’s co-creator Alfred Gough told this publication back in September that he could see it happening, revealing: “Miles [Millar] and I are talking amongst ourselves about it. There's definitely more that you can explore in the world of the Addamses."
