‘Wednesday’ Again: Netflix Unveils Spooky Sophomore Season Trailer and Series Relaunch Date
She’s back, and spookier than ever!
Fittingly, Netflix announced the return of its Addams Family series Wednesday on Wednesday. The sophomore season will be broken into two parts, with the first episodes debuting on August 6th. The remaining episodes will drop on September 3rd.
Netflix released a new trailer and press blurb promising “another season of supernatural adventures and terrifying mysteries.” In the teaser, we see Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) at an airport being stopped by security when she sets off the alarm. She puts her brass knuckles, pepper spray, knives, nunchucks, taser gun, and a twin-spiked ball flail on the tray, followed by Thing. but the agent only calls her on a tube of sunscreen.
We also see Wednesday return to Nevermore Academy, where she is reunited with her roommate Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers), and that her brother Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez) has tagged along to start his education there.

“Season 1 really focused on Wednesday, but you met the other characters but didn’t get to know them, and now we get to expand their storylines and expand the scope and breadth of the show,” co-creator Alfred Gough said in a statement released by Netflix.
“Nothing is what it seems in Season 2,” added co-creator Miles Millar. “Wednesday goes into this season thinking she knows Nevermore. It’s the first time she’s returned to a school willingly. But as soon as she gets back, nothing happens that she’s expecting. She thinks she’s going to be in control, that she knows where all the bodies are buried, and she doesn’t.”
Netflix promises new faces and places in the second season, as well as the return of Bianca (Joy Sunday), Tyler (Hunter Doohan), Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Gomez (Luis Guzmán), and Thing (Victor Dorobantu). New cast members include Billie Piper, Steve Buscemi, Joanna Lumley, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, and Noah Taylor. Lady Gaga will appear as a guest star.
A spinoff expanding the world of Wednesday with a focus on Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen, who is returning for the second season) is in the works from Netflix and MGM Television.
