Netflix has dropped the first teaser for Wednesday Season 2, and it teases a much broader role for the entire Addams family, not just the brooding titular heroine returning to Nevermore Academy.
The short teaser, released ahead of the show’s summer return, gives fans their first look at Jenna Ortega reprising her breakout role as Wednesday Addams, now deeper into her teenage sleuthing and supernatural investigations. But this time around she isn’t doing it alone: nearly every major member of the Addams household, including Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones), Gomez (Luis Guzmán), Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez) and even Uncle Fester, plays a part in the season’s unfolding story.
While the first season saw Wednesday mostly navigating life and mystery at Nevermore Academy on her own, the new teaser suggests that her family’s gothic charm and peculiar dynamics will be more front-and-center this year. Scenes from the clip show the family together in settings that hint at both familial interference and shared involvement in Wednesday’s adventures, raising the stakes for her already complex world.
Netflix has also confirmed that Season 2 will premiere in two parts, with the first half arriving in August 2025 and the latter episodes dropping in September. Fans can expect new mysteries and twists, some of which may be directly tied to Wednesday’s family, a departure from the first season’s heavier school-centric focus.
Behind the scenes, creators and cast members have teased that this expanded family presence allows the show to explore deeper Addams lore and the characters’ interrelationships, blending the quirky gothic humor of the original franchise with the darker, mystery-driven tone that made Wednesday a hit.
Whether it’s Wednesday’s deadpan reactions to her parents’ antics or Pugsley finding his own place in the story, this teaser sets the stage for a season that leans into the chaotic, loving, and unmistakably macabre spirit of the Addams clan — all while welcoming audiences back to the eerie halls of Nevermore Academy.
