Hear those finger snaps? Yep, Season 2 of Wednesday is coming soon — and you can get your first taste (of blood) right here.
Netflix unveiled the first six minutes from the highly anticipated sophomore run’s premiere on Saturday at its annual Tudum event. (Press PLAY above for a sneak peek.)
Back in April, Netflix announced that the second season of its Addams Family offshoot will release in two parts: The first batch of episodes will drop Wednesday, Aug. 6, and the second will follow Wednesday, Sept. 3.
Jenna Ortega stars as murderous teen Wednesday Addams, who is sent away to attend Nevermore Academy, a private school for supernaturally inclined outcasts like herself. In Season 2, Wednesday “returns to prowl the Gothic halls of Nevermore Academy, where fresh foes and woes await,” per the official synopsis. “Wednesday must navigate family, friends and old adversaries, propelling her into another year of delightfully dark and kooky mayhem. Armed with her signature razor-sharp wit and deadpan charm, Wednesday is also plunged into a new bone-chilling supernatural mystery.”
When Wednesday returns this summer, it will be without two cast members. Percy Hynes White (who played Xavier Thorpe) and Naomi J. Ogawa (who played Yoko Tanaka), both series regulars in Season 1, will not return for the upcoming episodes. Ortega previously revealed that Season 2 is ditching the love triangle between Xavier and Hunter Doohan’s Tyler Galpin in order to “lean into the horror aspect of the show a little bit more” — which the sneak peek above certainly does.
