What willWednesdayseason 2 be about?

While an official synopsis for the new season hasn’t been revealed yet, the showrunners previously revealed that they plan to delve even more into Wednesday’s growth as a character.

During a conversation with Elle Fanning forVariety‘s Actors on Actors, Ortega added that the show is also “ditching any romantic love interest for Wednesday” in the new season. “We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror aspect of the show a little bit more,” Ortega added. “Because it is so lighthearted, and a show like this with vampires and werewolves and superpowers, you don’t want to take yourself too seriously.”

In an interview with1883,Emma Myers, who plays Enid on the show, shared her hopes that her character would find her confidence in the new episodes.

Speaking withVariety, Millar revealed thatthey have a few seasons already mapped outfor the show. “For us, it’s always looking at the future, and when we sit down to create a show, it’s looking at multiple seasons, ideally,” he explained.

“That’s never expected, but that’s the anticipation that hopefully the show is successful. So you always lay out at least three or four seasons' worth of potential storylines for the characters. It can evolve and change,” he said, adding, “We certainly have a pretty clear runway of what we want to do in future seasons.”
