Wednesday” ranks as Tim Burton’s surprisingly successful 21st century update on the macabre antics of the ghoulish Addams Family with Jenna Ortega achieving stardom as Goth teenage daughter

Part 1 of "Wednesday" season 2 debuts -- fittingly -- on Wednesday, Aug. 6. Part 2 will arrive Wednesday, Sept. 3. The series is available to stream exclusively on Netflix. In addition to Ortega and Zeta-Jones, season 2 also stars Steve Buscemi, Luis Guzmán, Hunter Doohan and Billie Piper.

As Wednesday season 2 nears its release date, star Jenna Ortega has lauded the show for how it champions its female characters. The Addams Family has always been praised for its portrayal of women, especially when it comes to both Wednesday and Morticia, and Ortega believes that Netflix 's own Wednesday deserves similar plaudits.
