What is the plot for Wednesday season two?
Cementing herself as a spooky teenage detective in season one, Wednesday will continue her supernatural adventures in the upcoming season where “fresh foes” and “woes await.”
A more “torturous journey” has already been promised – sadistic Wednesday should thoroughly enjoy the plot.
“This season, Wednesday must navigate family, friends and old adversaries, propelling her into another year of delightfully dark and kooky mayhem. Armed with her signature razor-sharp wit and deadpan charm, Wednesday is also plunged into a new bone-chilling supernatural mystery,” the Netflix description read.
The first season came to a vicious end with suspecting Marilyn was discovered to be the villain, controlling a murderous monster, The Hyde – uncovered to be Tyler Galpin. Just when the viewer believed all was safe and well in the gloomy town of Jericho, Netflix showed Tyler turning into his monstrous alter ego to escape.
