face in the serial killer. Haley Joel Osment, barely recognisable from his days as a child star, is the actor behind the serial killer. He is perhaps best known for his iconic portrayal of

fact: "To those who don't recognise: The serial killer = Haley Joel Osment = Cole Sear, the kid from The Sixth Sense." One user was astonished by the revelation, responding

with "OMG," upon making the connection, while others recognised him as Mesmer in Amazon Prime's The Boys, with one fan commenting: "I definitely just saw him in the boys

so it immediately clicked... great actor." Excitement grew among the fandom with another exclaiming: "OMG! ! Haley Joel Osment." And one more chiming in with: "I thought

that was him! Awesome!" Discussions around the show's fresh horror elements and in-depth backstory were also buzzing, as a commenter noted: "I am glad they're adding more

Horror and backstory this season. This is about to be peak." The anticipation continued to build, with one saying: "Man Wednesday going to Kansas City to hunt down a serial killer

has got me HYPED!" "Just 6 minutes in and I'm already obsessed again. Wednesday carries the entire gothic genre on her shoulders," declared another fan. "JUST WHEN

I THOUGHT I COULDN'T GET MORE EXCITED!" wrote an enthusiastic fan, echoed by another who agreed: "I'M LOVING WEDNESDAY SEASON 2 VIBE, THIS SONG, THIS ENVIRONMENT,

EVERYTHING IS SO PERFECT!" Yet another comment read: "Already started off with a much darker tone and I LOVE IT." Netflix heightened the buzz by announcing that Lady Gaga

would star in the upcoming second season, joining new faces including Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Christopher Lloyd, Joanna Lumley, and Thandiwe Newton. THE FIRST HALF OF

WEDNESDAY SEASON 2 WILL HIT NETFLIX ON AUGUST 6, WHILE THE SECOND BATCH OF EPISODES WILL ARRIVE ON SEPTEMBER 3.
