Wednesday is one of Netflix’s biggest titles right now, and the streaming service recently announced a new teen series that could be a perfect companion to the Tim Burton TV show. After premiering its first season in November 2022, Wednesday was quickly renewed and is now in the midst of developing its second season. Wednesday season 2 is likely to be released sometime in 2025.
Therefore, it doesn’t hurt to be on the lookout for other young adult dark comedies on Netflix to ease the wait.
Although much of Wednesday centers on its eponymous character and her legendary family members, the show has plenty of merits beyond The Addams Family. For example, Nevermore Academy is the ideal spooky setting, where mysteries abound, and everyone could be a suspect. The unique student body adds more interest to Wednesday’s cast of characters. These details, among others, are what help make other series stand out as strong Wednesday replacements.
