Wednesday Season 2 Twist Paves the Way for Season 3's Darkest Storyline Yet

Wednesday Season 2, Part 2 doesn’t tiptoe; it stomps in, smashes a few gravestones, and sprints off into the fog. It answers the season’s nastiest question, leaves a handful of new ones bleeding out on the floor, and sets up a Season 3 that the showrunners are already cooking. Let’s untangle the chaos.

The Enid problem (aka the season’s biggest question)

All season, Wednesday’s vision of her best friend Enid dying has been the ticking clock behind everything. The show flirts hard with the idea of killing a fan favorite, then swerves: Enid doesn’t die. She does, however, get hit with something arguably worse for her — she’s stuck as a werewolf and can’t shift back to human. Alive? Yes. Safe? Absolutely not.

Meanwhile in Nevermore: powers gone, mom drama, and a Hyde on the loose

While dodging that prophecy, Wednesday is juggling other messes: her psychic abilities are kaput, things with Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) are tense, and Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan) — the Hyde — busts out of Willow Hill Psychiatric Hospital. Because of course he does.

Part 2’s wild run, in order

• Wednesday keeps Enid in the dark about the death vision through Part 1, which strains their friendship, even after Wednesday’s own brush with death at the end of Part 1.
• In Part 2, Wednesday still can’t get her powers back and tries to cheat a fix via a test from Rosaline Rotwood (yes, that Lady Gaga). She fails.
• That failure triggers a body-swap in Episode 6, 'Woe Thyself.' While they’re in each other’s bodies, Enid finally learns about the vision.
• Enter Isadora Capri (Billie Piper), the new music teacher and a fellow werewolf, who tells Enid she isn’t just a werewolf — she might be an alpha. Translation: extremely powerful, and not in a warm-and-fuzzy way.
• Capri warns that alphas who transform during a full moon often can’t turn back. If they get stuck, they’re easy prey — even other werewolves may come for them.
• Enid tries to stay calm on a full-moon night like Capri advised. Then she learns Isaac Night, aka Slurp (Owen Painter), buried Wednesday alive.
• Enid makes the call: she transforms, digs Wednesday out, and saves her — but the cost hits immediately. Enid bolts into the woods, still a wolf, seemingly unable to change back.
• The season ends with Wednesday and Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen) heading north to find her.

So... is Enid really an alpha?

That’s the big loose thread. Capri lays out the alpha theory, but the show never actually proves it. If Enid truly were an alpha, why did she wolf out in Season 1 during a full moon and then return to human? Was that a first-time exception? A different kind of trigger? The finale pointedly leaves that ambiguity hanging, and it doubles as Season 3’s mission statement: get Enid back and figure out what, exactly, she is.

What the finale actually resolves

Wednesday’s grim premonition doesn’t land. Enid lives. But the price of that survival — stuck as a werewolf, exposed, and hunted — keeps the stakes up. The vibe shifts from doom to determination by the end: Wednesday is in detective mode again, and Enid is still central to the story.

Season 3 status and what the showrunners are teasing

Netflix renewed the show before Season 2 even dropped, and the writers are already at work on Season 3. Co-creators and co-showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar are keeping specifics quiet, but they did toss out a couple of choice hints.

"Our goal for Season 3 is the same as it is for every season: to make it the best season of Wednesday we possibly can. We want to continue digging deeper into our characters while expanding the world of Nevermore and Wednesday."

"We will be seeing more Addams family members and learning more family secrets in Season 3!"

They also say it’s going darker and more Gothic. Which, after body-swaps, grave rescues, and a werewolf cliffhanger, is saying something.

Wednesday is streaming on Netflix.
