Wednesday Addams is preparing for a trip… and she’s bringing all of her knives.
Netflix has released the first teaser trailer for season 2 of Wednesday, and it features the pleasantly unpleasant teen returning to school after last year’s dramatic events. Reminder: Season 1 of the Tim Burton-directed series about a teenage Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) followed her to Nevermore Academy, where she quickly found herself chasing a killer.
In the end, she figured out that Tyler (Hunter Doohan), the boy she’d recently kissed, was actually the Hyde and that Thornhill (Christina Ricci) was the one controlling him throughout his killing spree. So naturally, she’s excited to return to school because as Wednesday says in the teaser, “Wherever there’s murder and mayhem, you will always find an Addams.”
But this season, we will get more than one. Showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar previously teased in a statement that the entire Addams family will be enrolling at Nevermore this season, so it’s no surprise that we see more of them in the teaser, particularly Wednesday’s parents, Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Gomez (Luis Guzmán). Morticia specifically tells her daughter, “Every family has dark secrets, Wednesday. And secrets can have deadly consequences.” And in addition to Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez) flashing his powers, we also get a glimpse of Joanna Lumley’s Grandmama making a grand entrance.
Speaking of Lumley, season 2 will feature a number of new faces, including Steve Buscemi, Christopher Lloyd, Thandiwe Newton, Frances O’Connor, Haley Joel Osment, and others. For now, Buscemi can be seen in both the teaser and in new images below. Those images also preview a few exciting returns, from Fred Armisen‘s Uncle Fester to Doohan’s Tyler.
