‘Wednesday’ Season 2 Fan Theories: Clues, Hints, Spoilers

There’s no doubt about it, Netflix’s Wednesday has become a pop culture phenomenon. Since the show’s premiere in November 2022, Wednesday has become one of the streaming platform’s most streamed series’ ever — and fans are dying to see more in season 2 (which, at this point, has yet to be announced). Keep reading for our favorite fan theories for season 2.

Wednesday cocreator Miles Millar explained in interview with TVLine that they have only “touched the surface” of the characters in Wednesday. “Catherine (Zeta Jones) is, I think, an iconic Morticia. The relationship between Wednesday and Morticia is also essential to the show, and the idea that Wednesday is trying to forge her own path outside the family is important.”

With that being said, Miles acknowledged that the series is called Wednesday, so they “really want to focus the show on Wednesday.” However, they “definitely want to feature the family as we did this season in a couple of episodes if we were to get a second season.”

Additionally, in an interview with Variety, Miles explained that when he and cocreator Alfred Gough set out to create a show together, they usually write out the groundwork for multiple seasons. “That’s never expected, but that’s the anticipation that hopefully the show is successful,” he told the outlet.

“So you always lay out at least three or four seasons’ worth of potential storylines for the characters,” the showrunner continued. “It can evolve and change. Often, you want to see which characters or cast pop and who you like to write for. So you want to keep it open and organic enough to change it and evolve, but we certainly have a pretty clear runway of what we want to do in future seasons.”

And as for Tyler’s fate in season 2? “Absolutely, he’s out there,” Alfred told Variety. “That’s what we wanted to convey [in his final shot].”

And what has Jenna/Wednesday Addams herself said of a second season? “I have no idea if we’ll come back,” Jenna revealed in an interview with NME. “It could continue but it could also end. I think that’s what’s kind of nice about the show – we have the option.

Tyler Becomes an Ally

While it’s revealed in season 1 that Tyler is the Hyde monster and responsible for the murders in Jericho, multiple fans have noted that he was under the control of someone else: Marilyn Thornhill. That being said, it’s speculated that since Tyler is still alive by the end of the first season and seemingly escapes, he could end up regretting the murders, join forces with Wednesday and try to get revenge on the person who was manipulating him, a.k.a Marilyn.

‘Morning Sun’ Cult Is a Major Plotline

In season 1, Bianca’s character is a student at Nevermore who is a siren, meaning she can manipulate others into doing pretty much anything. We’re introduced to her mother in the middle of the series, and it’s revealed she is involved in a cult called Morning Sun, which pretty much scams people under the guise of healthy living. At one point, Bianca’s mother pressures her to leave school and join her to use their mermaid’s power for evil.

Many fans believe that this Morning Sun cult could be a large plot point in season 2, with Bianca attempting to thwart Morning Sun’s evil escapades with the help of Wednesday.

Lurch Isn’t Who He Seems

Lurch is the Addams family butler, who only appears in two scenes: when driving Wednesday to Nevermore in the first episode and driving her back home from school in the final episode. However, fans on TikTok have noticed that he doesn’t entirely look the same in both of those scenes, as his eyes seemingly have changed color. This has led many people to believe that it’s possible that Principal Weems, who supposedly died in season 1 and is a shapeshifter, is alive and is pretending to be Lurch.

Principal Weems Is Alive

While Principal Weems (played by Gwendoline Christie) dies in the series after being stabbed by Marilyn Thornhill (Christina Ricci), the showrunners of Wednesday themselves said that they would “never say never” to her return.

“We like the idea that people die in this world, that there are real sacrifices and there’s loss — and that Wednesday has to react to that,” Miles Millar said in an interview with TV Guide. “That said, it’s a supernatural show, there are always ways people can return,” adding, “Never say never, but at this point, she’s definitely dead.”

While Miles left the door open, the show’s actors are completely unconvinced that Weems’ demise is permanent. “I feel like Larissa Weems would never be dominated by something as commonplace as death,” Gwendoline told TV Guide.

Additionally, Jenna Ortega herself agrees with Gwendoline’s sentiments, stating: “I don’t even believe that one.” She added: “I can’t, I love Gwendoline Christie too much. I refuse to accept that as the truth.”

Enid Is the Stalker

While multiple fans have speculated that Enid is the stalker that appears to text Wednesday at the end of season 1, Jenna Ortega has even added in her suspicions over Wednesday’s werewolf best friend.

“Maybe Enid [is the stalker],” Jenna told TV Guide. “Maybe Enid is just in love with Wednesday.” Never say never!

Thing’s Back Story

Wednesday viewers are dying to know more on the infamous hand-only Addams family member named Thing — even the visual effects team behind Wednesday themselves!

“I think it would be fantastic to explore what may have happened to lead him to be severed, possibly,” Lon Molnar, Wednesday‘s visual effects supervisor, told J-14. “I think that’d be — it was an idea that was floating around and it would be fantastic to explore that for sure.”

Another TikTok theory from December 2022 went viral, after user @jumpersjump theorized that Thing could be from the 1986 movie Evil Dead. In the movie, one of the characters named Ash has his hand possessed, leading him to cut it off.
