Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) returns to Nevermore Academy in the trailer for Season 2 of Netflix‘s Wednesday (above), the first to reveal some “mysterious and kooky” plot details.
“How does it feel?” Morticia Addams (Catherine Zeta-Jones) asks her titular daughter in the trailer, as the family arrives with her at Nevermore to drop her off.
Watch the trailer above.
She responds dryly, “Like returning to the scene of the crime. I already know where the bodies are buried.”
Wednesday is focused on getting where she needs to be when she is approached by a bubbly man dressed in head-to-toe purple. This is her new principal, Barry Dort (Steve Buscemi), who refers to Wednesday as the savior of Nevermore, a comment connected to her heroic deeds in Season 1. Much to the famous pupil’s chagrin, she also has a bevy of fangirls hoping to get their queen’s autograph.
Once the fandom dies down, Wednesday reunites with Enid (Emma Myers), who is looking excitedly to a new year full of fun with her roomie. However, Wednesday becomes entranced, leading to a horrible vision: Enid is dead, and Wednesday is somehow at fault. Wednesday confesses what she saw to her mother, who vows not to let history repeat itself. This season, the show’s protagonist will also count on the support of Grandmama (Joanna Lumley), whose powers have yet to be revealed.
