Wednesday Season 2 official trailer: Jenna Ortega Series Set for Two-Part Release

Wednesday Addams is back—and this time, the stakes are higher than ever. Netflix has dropped the first official trailer for the eagerly awaited second season of Wednesday, and it promises another spine-tingling, darkly whimsical adventure through the haunted halls of Nevermore Academy.

Helmed once again by the gothic mastermind Tim Burton, the new season will see Jenna Ortega reprise her role as the sharp-tongued, death-obsessed teen sleuth. But unlike the first season, Season 2 will be split into two volumes, with the first landing on August 6 and the second arriving on September 3.

New Year, New Threats, and a Best Friend in Peril

The trailer opens with Wednesday’s return to Nevermore Academy, but this year she’s not just another outcast—she’s something of a legend. “She came back willingly,” Morticia Addams (Catherine Zeta-Jones) notes, a wry acknowledgment of Wednesday’s reluctant hero status following the events of Season 1.

As Nevermore reopens its gates, a new headmaster takes charge—played by none other than Steve Buscemi, adding quirky gravitas to an already stacked cast. His character greets Wednesday with reverence, calling her “the savior of Nevermore.”

But beneath the accolades lies a disturbing vision. Wednesday is haunted by a premonition in which her loyal roommate and best friend Enid (Emma Myers) dies. Rattled and guilt-stricken, Wednesday confesses to her mother, “Enid dies, and it’s all my fault,” as black tears streak her otherwise emotionless face.

A Darker, Deeper Dive into the Addams Universe

Season 2 promises to peel back even more layers of the Addams legacy. The trailer hints at a darker, more emotionally complex Wednesday, one still anchored by her razor wit and unflinching gaze, but burdened now by relationships and responsibility. Gothic visuals, eerie dreamscapes, and cryptic symbols flood the screen, teasing an ominous new chapter filled with dangerous secrets and supernatural threats.

“Secrets are the bedrock of the Addams family,” Wednesday says ominously. “The sooner I get answers, the sooner I can save Enid—or die trying.”

According to the official synopsis, the upcoming season will explore not only new enemies but also tensions within Wednesday’s own circle. Navigating personal bonds, unresolved rivalries, and an unfolding supernatural mystery, she’s set to face a fresh wave of chaos with her signature deadpan flair.

What to Expect This Season

Here’s the official logline for Season 2:

“Wednesday Addams prowls the Gothic corridors of Nevermore Academy once again, as new enemies and old grudges collide. With family, friends, and dark forces circling, Wednesday is drawn into another year of eerie intrigue and monstrous fun. Armed with her wit and unrelenting curiosity, she finds herself at the heart of a bone-chilling mystery that could change everything.”

Volume 1 of the new season premieres on August 6, followed by Volume 2 on September 3, marking the first time the series will be released in a split format—likely designed to heighten suspense and draw audiences deeper into the unfolding drama.
