Netflix has just released a tantalizing glimpse of Wednesday season 2, promising a darker, bloodier chapter with the entire Addams clan in tow. After years of creative wandering, Tim Burton reclaimed his mojo with Wednesday, and now he’s back behind the camera for a second outing alongside Jenna Ortega, whose portrayal of the title character turned heads and launched countless memes worldwide. Fresh off their surprise hit, they’re doubling down on gothic flair, slasher nods, and plenty of cryptozoological intrigue.
THE OLD MAN AND WEDNESDAY
Titled “A Sneak Peek into Wednesday Season 2,” this new clip blends brief interviews with director Tim Burton and cast members, interspersed with snippets from the upcoming episodes. Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday remains as sharp-tongued and stoic as ever. What’s different this time is how prominently the rest of the Addams family figures into the action.
Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez), now able to summon bolts like an eerie miniature Palpatine, is lined up as a Nevermore student. Through a clever plot twist, Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Gomez Addams (Luis Guzmán) are poised to haunt the halls of the academy, offering both spectral guidance and emotional support. Joanna Lumley joins as Wednesday’s grandmother, Hester Frump, and Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen) steps out of the background to claim a more substantial part.
Though many plot details remain under wraps, it’s clear that Nevermore won’t be free of schemes, suspicious deaths, and hidden beasts. Jenna Ortega herself has hinted that season 2 will expand the Addams lore, exploring occult powers and the family’s enigmatic bond with Nevermore. Tim Burton promises to deepen the show’s gothic-baroque universe while retaining Wednesday’s fierce presence at the story’s core.
Viewers can also expect a splash of swordplay—fans of the first season’s fencing scenes may be amused to learn that local swordfighting clubs reported a spike in sign-ups after Wednesday’s debut. Showrunners aim to push beyond the “Harry Potter for proto-goths” tag, leaning harder into the series’ morbid comedy roots.
The second season will arrive in two parts: the first batch of episodes lands on August 6, 2025, followed by the finale on September 3. If this sneak peek is any indication, the Addams heiress is poised for a return that’s as chilling as it is sensational.
