Wednesday season 2 part 1 has finally arrived on Netflix, and it's off to a pretty strong start with critics.

The new season currently holds a solid 79% on Rotten Tomatoes from 22 reviews. This score is only slightly up from season 1, which sits at 73% from 105 reviews. As more reviews come in for season 2, that number is bound to change – but whether it goes up or down is anyone's guess.

Jenna Ortega returns as the titular sleuth in Wednesday season 2, with the rest of the returning cast including the likes of Emma Myers, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Hunter Doohan. Newcomers include Billie Piper and, in part 2, Lady Gaga – who is also releasing a new song for the occasion, according to Variety.
