August is back-to-school for many kids these days—including Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), who returns to Nevermore Academy for another season of Wednesday. This time, she’s not alone: little brother Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez) is along for the ride. According to Netflix’s Tudum, the Addams adults, Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Gomez (Luis Guzmán) will be hanging around campus, too. What greater horrors could await?
Well, creepy dolls, for one thing. This trailer is light on plot, but there will be murders and secrets, and tricksy Tyler (Hunter Doohan) is back to bother Wednesday some more. Fred Armisen also returns as Uncle Fester, and of course so does Emma Myles as Enid; the sprawling season two cast includes Joanna Lumley as Hester Addams, Morticia’s mother; Steve Buscemi as Principal Dort; Thandiwe Newton as Dr. Fairburn; and a whole bunch of people whose roles have not been disclosed, including Christopher Lloyd, Billie Piper, and Lady Gaga.
According to series co-creater Miles Millar, “Wednesday goes into this season thinking she knows Nevermore. It’s the first time she’s returned to a school willingly. But as soon as she gets back, nothing happens that she’s expecting. She thinks she’s going to be in control, that she knows where all the bodies are buried, and she doesn’t.”
Wednesday has creators Millar and Alfred Gough as showrunners; Tim Burton, Paco Cabezas, and Angela Robinson direct. Season two will be released in two parts on Netflix: Part 1 on August 6th, and Part 2 on September 3rd.
