Season 2 of "Wednesday" only has 4 episodes released initially because Netflix is releasing the season in two parts. The first part with 4 episodes premiered on August 6, 2025, and the second part with another 4 episodes is set to release on September 3, 2025, making a total of 8 episodes for the full season. This split release strategy is similar to other popular Netflix series like "Bridgerton" and "Stranger Things," designed to maintain viewer interest and create mid-season hype. The decision to split the season was made by Netflix, but it also fit well with the storytelling needs of the show, allowing a big cliffhanger in episode 4 to make the first half feel complete while leading into a bigger mystery in the second half.
