Jenna Ortega Plots to Save Enid in ‘Wednesday’ Season 2 Trailer: Watch

Mystery and mayhem abound in Netflix’s official trailer for Wednesday Season Two. The trailer starts with a clip similar to that of the teaser released in April, with Wednesday’s mother Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) commenting that her daughter Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) returning to Nevermore Academy marks the first time she elected to go back to a school of her own accord. Wednesday likens it to “Returning to the scene of the crime. I already know where all the bodies are buried.” 

Once there, she’s greeted like a celebrity, with Steve Buscemi‘s character (a new series regular) telling her, “It is an honor to meet the savior of Nevermore,” and fellow students asking for her autograph (“I only sign my name in blood,” Wednesday quips). However, her (unwanted) hero’s welcome is soon marred by her visions of causing her roommate’s Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers) death. Across a morbid montage of Wednesday’s family, ghoulish creatures, black tears, makeshift zip-lining and more, the trailer teases an action-packed school year for the young Addams. 

The first four episodes of the season will drop on Aug. 6, followed by the latter half on Sept. 3. This season’s guests stars will include Lady Gaga (but you’ll have to wait to Part Two for that), Joanna Lumley, Thandiwe Newton, Jamie McShane, Haley Joel Osment, Heather Matarazzo, Joonas Suotamo, Fred Armisen, Christopher Lloyd, and Frances O’Connor. 

Previously, Ortega also hinted that this season of Wednesday will be even more bizarre than the first. “Visually, I can say we have some of the most fun we’ve ever had,” she told Collider. “It’s crazy to talk about one frame like this, but there is a frame of Pugsley rolling his eyes back with this contraption around his head — that’s all I can say — and it reminds me so much of Full Metal Jacket.”
