Wednesday Season 2 is officially bringing back one of my favorite things about the first outing, and This makes me even more excited about the return of Jenna Ortega’s Netflix show. Wednesday Season 1 was a huge success with its release in 2022, and I’m eager to see where the next outing takes the titular heroine’s story. We can expect Ortega’s character to return to Nevermore Academy during the show’s second season, and it sounds like his story will be more heavy on the supernatural horror elements of the previous outing.
with some exceptions, WednesdayThe main cast will also be back for season 2 – and the behind-the-scenes talent is also returning. The Netflix series even brings back one of my favorite elements from the first outing: Tim Burton’s direction. The iconic director worked on several season 1 episodes, and Creators Al Gough and Miles Millar confirmed that Burton will show more installments in the future (via Collider). The similar setup gives me even more confidence Wednesday Season 2.
Tim Burton also directed four episodes of Wednesday in season 1
The director will take the same number of installments in season 2
Tim Burton will direct four episodes of Wednesday Season 2Which is the same number he directed during the show’s first outing. This is great news for fans of the director, as it suggests that his involvement will be consistent throughout both seasons. Burton directed the first four installments of Season 1: “Wednesday’s Child is Full of Woe,” “Woe is the Loneliest Number,” “Friends or Woe,” and “Woe What a Night.” Episodes 5 and 6 were directed by Gandja Monteiro, and James Marshall helmed the remaining installments.
No matter how things land, I’m relieved to hear that Burton will be heavily involved with half of the second season.
There is no word on whether the setup of Wednesday Season 2 will mirror that of season 1, as the creators did not specify which installments Burton would be tackling. We also do not know who will direct the remaining chapters, but the news may emerge closer to the release of the next outing. No matter how things land, I’m relieved to hear that Burton will be heavily involved with half of the second season. after all, Wednesday Season 1’s Tim Burton-directed episodes were some of its strongest.

Some of the best episodes of Wednesday So far have been directed by BurtonAnd that bodes well for season 2. While the final episodes of season 1 are arguably the most exciting, both the premiere and episode 4 are also standouts. Episode 4, “What a Night,” features Ortega’s iconic dance sequence. Even outside of that, it’s a well-crafted installment, offering plenty of clues that Taylor is the monster and showing growth for Wednesday’s character. It’s when the first season starts coming together that makes it a more fun ride than some other episodes.
Wednesdays series premiere also gets the show off to a strong startAnd Burton gets some credit for that. “Wednesday’s Child Is Full of Woe” sets the stage for the rest of the series perfectly, establishing the central character and setting incredibly well. It doesn’t take long for the viewers to immerse themselves in Wednesdays world because the premiere flows so well. It’s clear that Burton’s style has suited the Netflix series from its inception — and that shouldn’t come as a surprise after the director’s previous projects.
