Netflix has dropped the intense trailer for Wednesday Season 2 Part 1, and things are getting even spookier at Nevermore Academy.
Jenna Ortega returns as Wednesday Addams, who now faces a terrifying new vision: her best friend and roommate Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers) is destined to die—and Wednesday believes it’s her fault.
As the new school year begins, Wednesday’s psychic powers reveal troubling visions, including Enid’s potential death. “Enid dies, and it’s all my fault,” she declares in the trailer, setting the tone for a gripping new mystery. Wednesday must race against time to uncover the truth and save her friend, even if it means risking everything.
According to co-creators Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, Season 2 explores Wednesday’s complicated relationships—especially with Enid and her mother, Morticia Addams (Catherine Zeta-Jones). The season dives deeper into friendship, trust, and the limits of Wednesday’s certainty. Her Raven powers, which she honed over the summer using Goody Addams’ Book of Spells, begin malfunctioning, resulting in disturbing black tears during visions.
Fans got a sneak peek at these eerie tears during the Netflix Tudum 2025 event in May. The trailer suggests that Morticia might have clues to Wednesday’s unraveling powers, further straining their mother-daughter dynamic.
This season also introduces new characters and shifts at Nevermore. Steve Buscemi joins as Principal Barry Dort, replacing Larissa Weems. Dort brings a bold message of “outcast pride,” rejecting his predecessor’s more inclusive vision.
Enid and Wednesday’s bond continues to evolve, offering emotional depth amid the chaos. Meanwhile, popularity becomes a new nightmare for Wednesday as she suddenly attracts admiration from students like newcomer Agnes DeMille.
The Addams family plays a larger role this time, with Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez) joining Nevermore and Grandmama Hester Frump (Joanna Lumley) entering the scene. Family tension escalates, particularly between Morticia and her mother, weaving a rich layer of generational conflict.
Wednesday Season 2, Part 1 premieres on August 6, with Part 2 arriving on September 3. With chilling powers, twisted mysteries, and heightened family drama, this season promises to be the darkest—and most addictive—yet.
