Netflix has dropped the first teaser for the eagerly awaited second season of ‘Wednesday’, giving fans their first glimpse of Jenna Ortega returning as the delightfully macabre Wednesday Addams. The streamer confirmed that new episodes will arrive in two installments—Part 1 on August 6 and Part 2 on September 3—promising a summer of gothic thrills.
In the trailer, Wednesday’s trademark deadpan wit is on full display as she breezes through airport security laden with concealed weapons. Back at Nevermore Academy, her deadpan response to Morticia’s surprise at her return—“It’s like returning to the scene of a crime … I already know where the bodies are buried”—sets the tone for a season that looks darker and more mysterious than ever. A later moment, in which Wednesday declares “I do my best work in the dark,” hints at deeper psychic visions and unseen threats lurking within the academy’s shadowy halls.
Longtime Nevermore students will be happy to spot Wednesday’s quick-witted roommate Enid (Emma Myers) alongside glimpses of the rest of the Addams family. Catherine Zeta-Jones returns as Morticia, Luis Guzmán as Gomez, Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley and Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester. New series regulars include Steve Buscemi stepping in as Barry Dort, the academy’s formidable new principal, plus Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter and Noah Taylor. Guest appearances from Christopher Lloyd—who once played Uncle Fester in the 1991 film—Joanna Lumley, Thandiwe Newton, Frances O’Connor, Haley Joel Osment, Heather Matarazzo and Joonas Suotamo round out a cast loaded with genre favorites.
Production on season two moved from Romania to Ireland, offering fresh landscapes and a moody new backdrop for Wednesday’s investigations. Showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar return to lead the writing room, with Tim Burton back on board as executive producer and director, ensuring the series retains its signature blend of gothic fantasy and offbeat humor.
The first season of ‘Wednesday’ broke records for Netflix, becoming the most-viewed English-language series in its history with over 250 million views and spending 20 weeks in the global Top 10. Ortega’s portrayal of the morbidly curious teen captured both critics and audiences, cementing her as one of Hollywood’s fastest-rising talents and fueling widespread anticipation for what comes next.
As the countdown to August 6 and September 3 continues, fans can prepare for new mysteries, eerie adversaries and the trademark Addams-family charm that made ‘Wednesday’ a cultural phenomenon.
