The excitement around the return of “Wednesday” is real—and with the release of the Season 2 trailer, fans are buzzing. Jenna Ortega is back as the deadpan queen of darkness, and this time, the stakes are even higher. Set once again at Nevermore Academy, the new season promises more mystery, more monsters, and more emotional depth.
The trailer opens with a haunting vision: Wednesday sees her roommate Enid in danger—and believes it’s her fault. With her psychic powers glitching and guilt weighing heavy, she finds herself questioning everything, including whether she can trust what she sees.
“Wednesday” Season 2: Enid In Danger?
Enid (Emma Myers) steps into an even bigger role this season, as her bond with Wednesday becomes central to the story. Their friendship—and the fight to protect it—adds heart to the season’s darker edge.
New faces arrive too, including Steve Buscemi as the new principal, Barry Dort. He brings a very different vibe from the late Larissa Weems, and his leadership shakes things up. Catherine Zeta-Jones returns as Morticia Addams, and we’ll see her relationship with Wednesday evolve—complicated, loving, and laced with tension. A few big names are joining the fun, too—most notably Lady Gaga, rumored to play a teacher. And of course, familiar faces like Gomez and Pugsley are back to keep the Addams family spirit alive.
Season 2 is diving deeper into horror, with Ortega hinting that the show is embracing its darker roots. Expect more suspense, supernatural threats, and a gothic atmosphere that leans into full-blown horror territory. Nevermore Academy continues to expand, with new locations, secrets, and yes, some unexpected popularity for the main character herself. It’s not a role she enjoys, but it definitely adds a new layer of drama.
And if you’ve been missing that signature Addams family weirdness—don’t worry. Grandmama Hester Frump (Joanna Lumley) joins the chaos, adding even more bite to the already complex family dynamics. “Wednesday” Season 2 drops in two parts: Part 1 hits August 6, and Part 2 follows on September 3. Netflix is also going big with a global “Doom Tour,” bringing the cast to fans worldwide.
Now’s the perfect time to revisit Season 1. With secrets, scares, and sharp one-liners ahead, Season 2 is shaping up to be a thrilling ride—and we’re ready. “Wednesday” is streaming on Netflix.
