Netflix's Wednesday season 2 is avoiding the romance (For her at least) after what happened in season 1

Wednesday Addams is probably the last woman you want to see scorned, to be honest.

First love is a magical thing, even when it turns out that it is with a boy with a slight penchant for murder. The first season of Wednesday shattered records for Netflix but it also ended with the main character having a bit of a broken heart. With Wednesday season two coming in August, don’t expect her to be ready to love again just yet.

That is one of the few hints that the creators of the Wednesday series dropped about the new season in a recent interview. Al Gough and Miles Millar knew putting Wednesday Addams in a romance that ended badly in season one probably meant that she wasn’t going to want history to repeat itself in season two.

According to Millar, it “felt like Wednesday had dipped her toe into romance in the first season and it ended extraordinarily badly when she discovered the boy she had fallen for was a monster and a serial killer. So it felt like she wouldn’t venture into romantic territory again so soon. She’s not someone who’s really interested in that right now anyway; she wandered down that path reluctantly. But it wasn’t like we thought it was a mistake in season one to go there.”

That doesn’t mean that no one in the series will get a taste of romance in this season of Wednesday; after all, any scene with Morticia and Gomez is going to have an undercurrent of love, after all. It just means that when Wednesday season two debuts on Netflix on August 6, 2025, Wednesday will not be looking to love again just yet.
