Netflix's hit supernatural show "Wednesday" will not see a season 2 for quite some time, but fans can ease the wait with the upcoming show "Dead Boy Detectives." Starring Jenna Ortega as the iconic Addams Family character Wednesday, the show garnered massive success upon its release, leading to a quick renewal for season 2. However, due to various factors, including Hollywood labor strikes, production for season 2 didn't start until early 2024, pushing the release to 2025. While a three-year hiatus is not ideal, fans can still anticipate the return of Wednesday's story, especially as Ortega's star continues to rise.

In the meantime, "Dead Boy Detectives," based on characters from Neil Gaiman, will premiere on Netflix on April 25, 2024. The show focuses on two dead teens who investigate paranormal mysteries on Earth. With similar supernatural elements as "Wednesday," the new series offers a compelling narrative for viewers interested in the genre.

As fans eagerly await season 2 of "Wednesday," "Dead Boy Detectives" provides a temporary fix for those craving more supernatural content, potentially becoming another hit for Netflix. While past supernatural shows on the platform have been canceled prematurely, there's hope that "Dead Boy Detectives" will attract a dedicated audience and emulate the success of "Wednesday."
