Captioning the post: 'Production has officially been laid to rest.', the actress says: "That's a wrap on season two, my little rainclouds."
First look at season two
Back in September, bosses offered up a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming second season - giving us a peak at Jenna getting back into character as the infamous Wednesday.
In a joint post between Netflix and the official Wednesday account, bosses wrote: 'I shouldn’t be showing you this, but I'm feeling generous.' With cast members welcoming us to the season two set, Catherine Zeta Jones, who plays matriarch Morticia Addams, promises it to be: "Bigger and more twisted than you can ever imagine".
After watching the cast members snap back into character, we see director Tim Burton - who recently worked with Jenna to bring us the incredible Beetlejuice sequel earlier in September - hail "action", before the Wednesday actress teases: "If we showed you any more, your eyes would bleed."
The spooky teen then quips: "And I’m not that generous."
The sneak peek closes off with Jenna's iconic Wednesday stare, with Tim adding: "Okay, I think we got it" from behind the camera lens. Although no exact date is given, the streaming simply added: 'Coming 2025'.
