Jenna Ortega Wednesday Addams NECA figures for Season 2 are on their way, as NECA announces a new trio of figures inspired by the show just before its highly anticipated return to Netflix. The figures are set to be revealed online this week, marking another milestone moment in the show’s influence on collectibles and pop culture.
New NECA Figures Reflect the Anticipation for Wednesday’s Second Season
With Wednesday Season 2 scheduled for release later this summer, the excitement is building among fans of Tim Burton’s horror-comedy series on Netflix. At the recent TUDUM event, Netflix premiered the first six minutes of the new season at Nevermore Academy, highlighting Jenna Ortega’s return as Wednesday Addams. Despite Ortega’s comments about her character’s disapproval of commercializing her uniquely gothic world, the arrival of new NECA figures underlines Wednesday’s cultural impact.
The toy company NECA revealed over the weekend that it will launch three new figures as part of its popular Ultimate seven-inch horror line. These include two different versions of Wednesday Addams—portraying her in her custom black Nevermore uniform and her memorable black and white polka dot dress—and one figure of her vibrant werewolf roommate, Enid, played by Emma Myers, clad in the distinctive purple Nevermore Academy uniform. The collectible set also includes Thing, adding a quirky supernatural touch for fans. These figures build on Wednesday’s previous inclusion in NECA’s Toony Terror line. The official unveiling of this eerie collection is scheduled for Wednesday, June 4th, at 2 PM on NECA’s online store.
How Wednesday Addams Became a Modern Icon
While Jenna Ortega is not the first to bring Wednesday Addams into the cultural spotlight, her portrayal has taken the character to a new level of fame. Wednesday has become a staple of pop culture, appearing on everything from clothing to bedding. The phenomenon has been so widespread that it’s easy to imagine the character herself reacting with distaste—a sentiment reflected by Ortega’s own thoughts about her character and the world built by Tim Burton.
This wave of popularity has reintroduced The Addams Family universe to a younger audience, echoing the revival generated by the 1990s films starring Christina Ricci. The buzz around the franchise has led to an expanding landscape of merchandise, but the upcoming second season promises to focus even more on horror elements and explore new branches of the Addams Family tree that haven’t been seen before. The cast is set to grow as well, with notable names like Lady Gaga and Steve Buscemi joining the ensemble alongside returning favorites. This expansion hints at the possibility of even more unique NECA figures being added to the collection in the future.
Release Schedule and Where to Find the Collectibles
Wednesday Season 2 will be released in two separate parts, with Part 1 set for August 6, 2025, and Part 2 following on September 3. In the meantime, fans can revisit the first season, available on Netflix and on Blu-ray/DVD, or browse NECA’s vast array of horror-themed figures through the company’s website.
Jenna Ortega, Emma Myers, Lady Gaga, Steve Buscemi, Christina Ricci, and Catherine Zeta-Jones are among the talented cast contributing to the ever-expanding world of Nevermore Academy for this season. The collaboration between the show’s creative team—led by Tim Burton—and collectible makers like NECA further cements the franchise’s place in modern entertainment and pop culture, promising ongoing excitement and new ways for fans to connect with their favorite characters as the season approaches.
