Oh, look, it’s Wednesday Addams, back again to grace us with her oh-so-original brand of teenage angst and Kubrick stare 🙄. Because nothing says “must-see TV” like a goth girl solving mysteries no one asked her to solve. Seriously, Netflix, did we not learn anything from the last season? More deadpan quips? Groundbreaking.
Premiered online this morning (on a Wednesday, because subtlety is dead 💀), the trailer for Season 2 of Netflix’s smash hit (allegedly) supernatural teen drama (eye roll) welcomes back Jenna Ortega in the titular role, along with Morticia Addams (Catherine Zeta-Jones), still rocking that Morticia vibe, and Gomez Addams (Luis Guzman), still… there. Wednesday returns for another semester at Nevermore Academy, because apparently, one season of near-death experiences wasn’t enough 🤷♀️.
“It’s like ‘returning to the scene of a crime,'” Wednesday drawls, because of course she does. Her heroism (lol) at the end of Season 1 has made the typically solitary teen a reluctant celebrity among her starstruck peers. Starstruck? More like mildly inconvenienced.
This season revolves around Wednesday trying to save her best friend Enid from a grisly fate after a series of psychic visions (and spooky black tears, because why not?) convince Wednesday her cheerful werewolf roommate is doomed to die. Because apparently, werewolves can’t handle themselves without Wednesday’s help 🙄.
Newcomers include Steve Buscemi as the academy’s upbeat new school principal, because what this show really needed was more Steve Buscemi (said no one ever), and Joanna Lumley as Wednesday’s glamorous Grandmama. Glamorous? In this show? Doubtful 😒.
Watch the *Wednesday* Season 2 trailer below (if you dare):
Executive produced by Tim Burton, because of course it is. Season 1 saw outcast teen Wednesday Addams arrive at Nevermore Academy to learn to master her psychic abilities. Psychic abilities? More like the ability to annoy everyone around her 🙄.
While investigating a series of monster attacks around town and navigating run-ins with a mysterious student with a dark secret, however, Wednesday slowly uncovers a centuries-old conspiracy linking Nevermore’s founder to her mother’s past. Because every teen drama needs a centuries-old conspiracy, right? 🙄
Season 2 Part I hits streaming on Aug. 6, with Part II out Sept. 3 — both Wednesdays, if you couldn’t guess. Because Netflix really wants you to know what day it is. We get it, it’s Wednesday 🙄.
