Netflix's 'Wednesday' Season 2 Part 1 trailer reveals a dark turn as Wednesday Addams confronts a vision of Enid's death, premiering August 6.

Netflix has released the official trailer for The Wednesday Season 2, Part 1, which is set to premiere on August 6. The sequel to Tim Burton’s gothic hit series places the fate of fan-favorite Enid Sinclair in jeopardy as Wednesday Addams, played by Jenna Ortega, confronts a disturbing psychic vision that suggests Enid, her roommate and closest friend, may die. In the trailer, Wednesday admits, “Enid dies, and it’s all my fault,” setting a darker and more intense tone for the new season.
Season 2 begins with Wednesday returning to Nevermore Academy after spending the summer honing her psychic “Raven” powers with Goody Addams’ ancient Book of Spells. Despite her improved control, black tears appear on her face when she uses her abilities, raising questions about the reliability of her visions. Co-creator Alfred Gough said the season explores the fragility of Wednesday’s certainty, noting that her confidence may lead to dangerous consequences.
The relationship between Wednesday and Enid remains central, evolving from opposites to a complicated friendship tested by the looming threat over Enid’s life. Co-creator Miles Millar highlighted the challenges Wednesday faces in navigating her relationships with both her mother and Enid. Emma Myers, who plays Enid, described their dynamic as deeper and both “fun and terrifying” to explore. The trailer also hints at Morticia Addams, portrayed by Catherine Zeta-Jones, harboring secrets that could affect Wednesday’s journey.
With Principal Larissa Weems dead, Nevermore welcomes a new head, Principal Barry Dort, played by Steve Buscemi. Dort promotes “outcast pride” and rejects the previous administration’s integration efforts, introducing a separatist agenda that shifts the school’s energy. The trailer shows Wednesday dealing with unwanted popularity, including attention from a new admirer, Agnes DeMille.
Family tensions continue to build as Wednesday’s brother Pugsley joins Nevermore, increasing the presence of Morticia and Gomez on campus. Zeta-Jones acknowledged the strained mother-daughter relationship, while Joanna Lumley joins the cast as Grandmama Hester Frump, adding to the generational conflict within the Addams family. Executive producer Tim Burton noted the unique dynamic of exploring three generations of Addams women.
Netflix plans to release the second season in two parts, with the second arriving on September 3. The trailer reveals scenes of secret passageways, cryptic rituals, and an extravagant party, suggesting a darker and more emotionally complex narrative. Fans will have to wait to see if Wednesday can prevent the fate she envisions for Enid.
