Jenna Ortega’s comments about Wednesday season 2 imply the follow-up installment will feature moments even more iconic than the Rave’N Dance sequence. Wednesday‘s dance scene became a viral-worthy moment for the Netflix series, with hordes of fans and fellow celebrities recreating Ortega’s performance from the show. The moment featuring Wednesday showcasing her bizarre dance moves to The Cramps’ “Goo Goo Muck” was memorable, but its impact on pop culture significantly propelled the show’s popularity. It became even more impressive upon learning that Ortega choreographed the dance herself, proving how in tune she is with the Addams Family character.

Despite garnering massive viewership, Netflix has had to wait for a follow-up, with the streamer aiming to release Wednesday season 2 in 2025. Granted, Ortega’s star status continues to grow and will get even higher after she stars in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice in September. As time goes on, more details regarding Wednesday season 2’s plot will be unveiled. Still, there’s been a trickle of teases that have spawned fun speculation regarding what’s to come following Wednesday season 1’s ending.

Jenna Ortega Revealed Wednesday Season 2 Will Have A Dance Scene-Like Moment In Each Episode

One of the questions heading into Wednesday season 2 is whether the show can replicate the iconic dance sequence. While another dance performance might not be involved, Ortega referenced how monumental Wednesday’s dance moment became before teasing the notion that season 2 will return to that level of viral-worthy storytelling. In fact, Ortega shared details about Wednesday season 2, confirming it would have more than one dance scene-like moment. Here’s what she had to say:

“I mean, in the first season we had episodes that really stood out visually, like the dance episode was a really big one for people, and that setting was very particular and it felt like Prom Night, a little bit, or Carrie. Every episode [of season two] that I’ve read so far is like that. It just stands out on its own as a very memorable scene or bit or setting, which I think is what I’m most excited for, because to pull that off for eight episodes is, I think, really incredible and really lucky.”

With Wednesday season 2’s dance tease, it sounds as though the new installment will avoid one direct replication and instead have memorable moments like that in every episode. This should reassure fans who want the series to embrace the oddities that have made the Addams Family franchise beloved for decades. While Ortega did a fantastic job in portraying Wednesday, the dance sequence gave the actress the perfect opportunity to embody the unorthodox figure as a way inspire viewers when it comes to personal acceptance and ignoring societal norms.

Many fans recreated Wednesday’s dance to Lady Gaga’s “Bloody Mary,” giving the song a resurgence in popularity.

Wednesday Season 2’s New Big Set Pieces Are Way Better Than Just Remaking The Rave’N Dance

When looking back at Wednesday’s dance scene and its impact, it makes sense to assume the show might try to use another dance-oriented sequence in season 2. However, mentioning visuals and settings hints that set pieces will allow for more movie-inspired moments. Ortega had also compared Wednesday season 2 to a “movie,” which is interesting on its own. Rather than just develop another fun musical performance for fans to recreate through another Rave’N Dance, Wednesday season 2 is setting up bigger ways to find those discussion-worthy sequences.

The Rave’N dance in episode 4 certainly represented a fun callback to Carrie , so it will be thrilling to see what other notable horror titles could be used to inspire those big season 2 moments.

Even if Netflix tries to capitalize on the music element of Wednesday somehow, season 2 will still need to fulfill the hints that the next chapter of the story will lean more into horror. The Rave’N dance in episode 4 certainly represented a fun callback to Carrie, so it will be thrilling to see what other notable horror titles could be used to inspire those big season 2 moments. Either way, the excitement keeps building when looking forward to what Wednesday season 2 will explore.
