Georgie Farmer Talks Ajax, Self-Discovery, and High Stakes in Wednesday Season 2

Ajax Steps Out of the Shadows in Wednesday Season 2

Fans waited three long years, but Wednesday is back—only now, the drama at Nevermore Academy is heavier than ever. Leading the charge in this new chapter is Georgie Farmer, who brings Ajax Petropolus, the Gorgon with a shy streak, back to life on Netflix. But Ajax isn’t just Enid’s boyfriend anymore. This time, he’s his own person, and Farmer’s thrilled about it.

Since dropping on August 6, 2025, the season has taken a fresh approach with its rollout, serving up four episodes to binge and leaving everyone hanging until the last four arrive September 3. This means fans have weeks to stew over the wild cliffhangers—nothing like a slow-burn tease to get the Internet buzzing.

Farmer opened up recently about how Ajax’s story feels more personal. Instead of being stuck in the background, clinging to Enid, Ajax is wrestling with big questions about where he fits in. "Ajax is really trying to figure himself out," Farmer shared. Being a Gorgon isn’t easy—at Nevermore, he’s an outsider, even among other supernatural misfits. For the first time, Ajax is clawing his way to some self-confidence and independence, a shift Farmer says was long overdue.

New Faces, More Trouble, and Wednesday's Biggest Mysteries Yet

Don’t get it twisted—romance is still alive and well at Nevermore, it’s just a whole lot messier. Ajax isn’t just dealing with Enid anymore. Now there’s Bruno, the laid-back cool kid with a mullet, played by Noah B. Taylor. Bruno’s arrival throws Ajax for a loop, sparking a textbook love triangle. Farmer admits he felt a little intimidated when Taylor strutted on set with his varsity jacket and swagger, joking he instantly felt like the underdog—art imitating life, anyone?

The show still revolves around Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday, never one to let secrets go unsolved. Last season's stalker mystery gets cleared up thanks to Evie Templeton’s vanisher, Agnes DeMille, but new threats swim into the story. This time, Wednesday’s haunted by a vision of her best friend Enid dying—talk about stress—while dark secrets inside Willow Hill psychiatric hospital keep piling up. That’s plenty to keep the stakes sky-high, even for Nevermore.

The big vibe on set? Surreal. For Farmer, coming back after Wednesday exploded into a cultural bomb was wild. Everywhere he looks, people want more Ajax—and more Wednesday. The cast chemistry is off the charts, with everyone stoked to be making TV together again. The sets are bigger, the mysteries darker, and Farmer’s pretty clear it’s the most fun he’s ever had with a role.

Creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar with Tim Burton still steering the ship, and it shows. The show's signature weirdness is intact, but everything's just, well, Wednesday Season 2 on a bigger scale. Farmer calls it "epic" and Taylor can’t stop talking about how much everything’s leveled up. If you think you’ve seen weird at Nevermore before, this season blows the roof off.

With the second half of the season just around the corner, everyone’s watching to see how Ajax deals with heartbreak, danger, and figuring out who he wants to be. The love triangle with Enid and Bruno? That's just one piece of the chaos. Ajax has a bigger story to tell now, and Farmer is savoring every minute of bringing it to life—as his character and himself both learn what it's like to step into the spotlight.
