After enduring ten weeks of uncertainty following the Netflix debut of the show, fans received the long-awaited news of an official confirmation for a second season. On January 6, 2023, Netflix released a video featuring Jenna Ortega, who plays Wednesday, expressing her experiences amidst fan frenzy.
In this video, Jenna Ortega, amidst a montage of season-one clips and fan event footage, stated, “Over the past few weeks, I’ve been hunted, haunted, and mimicked millions of times across the internet. It’s been pure torture. Thank you.”
