The story of Nevermore Academy’s darkest student continues. Streaming platform Netflix has unveiled the trailer for the new season of the series Wednesday.

The teaser places a strong focus on the cast: it has been revealed that gothic icon Winona Ryder will join Jenna Ortega. Details of her role remain under wraps, though the name of her character — Tabitha — has already been disclosed.

The project’s creator, Tim Burton, who has long collaborated with Ryder, has stated that the actress will fit seamlessly into the show’s dark atmosphere. The two previously worked together on the cult classics Edward Scissorhands and Beetlejuice.

Another high-profile addition to the cast is Eva Green. In the new season, she will portray Ophelia, Morticia Addams’ sister — a role that promises to bring even more mystical sophistication to the series.

The premiere date for the upcoming season has yet to be announced.

The gothic world of Wednesday Addams returns with new strength — the second season of the beloved series has quickly climbed to the top of Netflix Austria’s charts, claiming the number one spot among the country’s most popular shows.

Its dark humor, mysterious atmosphere, and sharp sarcasm once again captivate audiences. The main character — teenage Wednesday — returns to Nevermore Academy, where she faces new monsters, strange visions, and tangled emotions. This isn’t just a coming-of-age story, but a dark fantasy with a social undertone.

The show’s signature visual style is once again brought to life by Tim Burton — the director whose macabre touch is instantly recognizable from cult classics like «The Nightmare Before Christmas» and «Alice in Wonderland.» In the new season, he once again masterfully blends the eerie with the aesthetic.

The first season already made Netflix history, garnering over 340 million viewing hours in just one week — more than even the explosive fourth season of «Stranger Things.» Now, with season two, «Wednesday» reaffirms its status as a cultural phenomenon — audience interest not only remains strong, but is growing even more intense.

Streaming service Netflix has released the first six minutes of the second season of «Wednesday» – the supernatural series starring Jenna Ortega, which will premiere on August 6.

In the clip, Wednesday encounters a new villain – a serial killer nicknamed The Scalpel from Kansas City, who is obsessed with collecting dolls. He is played by «The Sixth Sense» star Haley Joel Osment.

«I’m tied up in a serial killer’s basement. Who said nightmares don’t come true?» Wednesday says with her trademark irony, looking at a doll made in her likeness.

As a reminder, one of the major highlights of Season 2 will be the appearance of Lady Gaga as Rosalind Rothwood – a charismatic and mysterious teacher.

Streaming platform Netflix has released the long-awaited teaser for the second season of the hit series «Wednesday», starring Jenna Ortega. The dark tale of the Addams family’s gloomy heiress returns to screens after a two-year break.

The short teaser shows Wednesday going through airport security, where she’s forced to empty her pockets. Among the items found are brass knuckles, pepper spray, knives – and more. Notably, a severed hand is discovered in her suitcase next to a bottle of sunscreen. Interestingly, it’s the sunscreen that raises questions from the security staff.

Wednesday then returns to Nevermore Academy, where she reunites with her roommate and friend Enid, encounters a mysterious swarm of bees, and hosts a creepy tea party. She compares her return to school to arriving at the scene of a crime.

«I already know where the bodies are buried», Wednesday says in the teaser.

New cast members in season two include Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, Noah Taylor, and more. Pop icon Lady Gaga will play a mysterious role.

The season will be split into two parts. The first will premiere on August 6, and the second on September 3.
