The much-anticipated return of Netflix’s hit series Wednesday, led by Jenna Ortega, is set to face a significant challenge.
Slated for a 2025 release, the horror-comedy must contend with a star-studded lineup of fan-favorite series, including Squid Game, Stranger Things, and Cobra Kai.
Fierce Competition from Netflix’s Powerhouse Shows
Squid Game Season 3
Following the success of Squid Game Season 2, Netflix confirmed that the third and final installment will arrive in late 2025. Series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk teased a continuation of the “fierce clash” between Gi-hun and the Front Man. Though an exact release date remains undisclosed, speculation points to a summer or fall debut. Returning cast members include Gi-hun, Yong-sik, and In-ho, alongside new, mysterious characters unveiled in recent teasers.
Stranger Things Season 5
The fifth and final season of Stranger Things has wrapped production, leaving fans eagerly awaiting its premiere. While Netflix has not confirmed a release date, rumors suggest a split-season format, with episodes potentially dropping on October 11 and December 28, 2025. The cast, including Millie Bobby Brown, Winona Ryder, and Finn Wolfhard, will reprise their roles, ensuring an emotional conclusion to the beloved series.
Cobra Kai Season 6
The extended sixth season of Cobra Kai will conclude its saga in February 2025. Parts 1 and 2 aired in 2024, while the final five episodes in Part 3 promise to resolve the rivalry between Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence. The season finale sets the stage for the theatrical release of Karate Kid Legends in late May 2025.
Challenges for Wednesday Season 2
With such heavyweight contenders on Netflix’s 2025 slate, Wednesday Season 2 must deliver a standout performance to capture audience attention. The show will see Ortega return as Wednesday Addams at Nevermore Academy, though specific plot details remain under wraps.
Netflix has yet to announce an exact release date for Wednesday Season 2. However, fans can expect thrilling developments as the series navigates the fierce competition to maintain its place among Netflix’s top offerings.
