Back to School, Back to Trouble

The second season’s trailer sets the mood with *The Phantom of the Opera* overture as Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) returns alongside her brother Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez). After saving Nevermore from a deadly pilgrim and a serial killer barista named Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan) last season, Wednesday is now seen as a hero by both the new principal (played by Steve Buscemi) and the student body. But don’t expect her to be thrilled—she’s awkward with all the attention, dodging autograph seekers and trying to keep her privacy intact.

Visions, Secrets, and Saving Enid

The real challenge comes from Wednesday’s *prophetic visions*, a mysterious gift she inherited from her mother Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones). These visions hint that she might somehow be responsible for the death of her cheerful werewolf roommate, Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers). To prevent this grim fate, Wednesday will have to dig deep into family secrets, with a big focus on the new character Hester Frump, Morticia’s icy and wealthy mother, played by Joanna Lumley.

Expect plenty of spooky fun too—there’s a carnival, a masquerade ball, the dead rising from their graves, and even Tyler transforming into a monstrous Hyde-like creature. Wednesday won’t have it easy, as the trailer also hints she’ll be captured again.

When and Where to Watch

The excitement builds as Netflix splits the second season into two parts. Part 1 drops on August 6, and Part 2 follows on September 3. So mark your calendars if you want to catch Wednesday’s new adventures and supernatural detective work.
