In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Millar teased more “straightforward horror” in Wednesday season 2. “There are moments which are definitely horror movie-worthy,” he said, going on to note that while this was a factor in season 1, the upcoming episodes will feature “moments that are very intense.” Millar also acknowledged that Wednesday has a very broad audience in terms of age, and this is taken into account with the horror elements in season 2. However, he feels they successfully captured that tonal shift between comedy and horror. See Millar’s full comment below:
“There’s some moments which are definitely horror movie-worthy. We have that in season 1, but I think this season there are moments that are very intense, I’ll say.”
“Season 2 definitely has some moments which are more straightforward horror, and we’re very aware that the show is watched by everybody in terms of the age groups. So we want to make sure that it’s never torture porn, but that there’s enough bite to it that it feels that there are real stakes and that people die in this world, and it’s scary at moments. And I think that’s the great tonal shift that the show makes between comedy and horror.”
What Miles Millar’s Horror Tease Means For Wednesday Season 2
Wednesday Season 1 Raised The Stakes, Season 2 Will Explore Them Further










Despite the constant jokes about pain and death, the central characters of The Addams Family were never in any real danger.
Despite the constant jokes about pain and death, the central characters of The Addams Family were never in any real danger. Wednesday could attempt to murder her brother all she wanted, but there was never any risk. This was all part of the comedy, but Wednesday functions in a different sort of universe. Millar acknowledges this in his comment that “people die in this world.” Season 1 separated itself from The Addams Family with some rather brutal character deaths. Now, Wednesday season 2 can use this knowledge to really set audiences on edge with its grittier horror elements.
Our Take On Wednesday Season 2’s Horror Tease
If Handled Right, Some Extra Thrills Are Welcome

Wednesday already stands in contrast with The Addams Family in how it approaches those standard horror tropes. The titular character’s exploration of the abandoned Gates mansion is a prime example, as is the death of Principal Weems and Rowan Laslow. Of course, in the broader world of horror, these are still pretty tame. I love the idea that Wednesday season 2 will take things further, but it will be interesting to see how Millar delivers on his promise to keep audiences’ ages in mind. The series can’t turn into a bloody mess, but thrills are certainly welcome.
