Netflix has unveiled the much-awaited trailer for 'Wednesday' Season 2, offering a chilling glimpse into the eerie world of Nevermore Academy. The new season promises a darker, more intense narrative as Jenna Ortega returns as the deadpan, sharp-witted Wednesday Addams, stepping once again into the heart of supernatural chaos.
Wednesday Season 2 trailer
The trailer opens on a haunting note with black tears streaming down Wednesday’s face. Her mother, Morticia Addams (played by Catherine Zeta-Jones), ominously asks, “I know what those tears mean. What did you see?” To which Wednesday replies, “Enid dies and it’s all my fault.” A quick flash of her vision follows, a grim graveyard scene featuring a headstone for Enid Sinclair. In a startling moment, Enid appears and grabs Wednesday’s throat, yelling, “I died because of you!”
Season 2 picks up with Wednesday returning to Nevermore Academy for another semester, this time facing new enemies, family secrets, and emotional challenges that push her boundaries. “Secrets are the bedrock of the Addams family,” Wednesday says in the trailer. “The sooner I get answers, the sooner I can save Enid — or die trying.”
Wednesday 2 showrunner on the latest season
Series co-creator and showrunner Miles Millar shared insights into what’s ahead for the iconic character: “We really wanted to find some new obstacles for Wednesday. She thinks she has it all under control and discovers that human interaction isn’t as easy as she thought.”
