In a turn that is sure to send shivers down the spines of fans of the macabre Netflix hit Wednesday, Jenna Ortega's return to Nevermore Academy is haunted by a chilling prophecy, one that suggests her dear roommate Enid might not make it out alive. Season 2 promises more intense stakes, darker secrets, and a haunting mystery at its core for the gothic coming-of-age series.
The trailer just dropped for Wednesday, featuring Jenna Ortega returning to play the well-received Wednesday Addams, now haunted by a terrifying vision. Her loyal friend and roommate, a lighthearted and droll young thing named Enid Sinclair, played by Emma Myers, meets an ugly end. "Enid dies and it's all my fault," Wednesday says with uncharacteristic emotion to her mother, Morticia Addams (Catherine Zeta-Jones). With those haunting words, the theme of season two is definitively established. What began as a quirky, supernatural teen drama has evolved into a darker, more emotionally complex narrative.

But as stoic as Wednesday is, she sets out to embark on a desperate mission to solve the mystery of the vision and how to save Enid even at the expense of herself. "The sooner I get answers," she proclaims, "the sooner I can save Enid or die trying." It's a line that solidifies her arc from detached observer to one who will stick beside the people she most believes in, even if that loyalty is laced with a death curse. With the cast returning under the watchful eye of Tim Burton, it's set to bring another dose of haunting atmosphere and psychological twists. Jenna Ortega has already hinted that season two will feature her favorite footage yet, suggesting that Enrique is set to dominate the screen in even greater depth and for an extended period.
Burton "really had a ball," she said, and judging from the peek in the trailer, his familiar gothic panache is more present than ever. With the two-part season set to arrive on the streaming service this month, Season 2 of the series is poised to be an emotional gut-punch yet again, while continuing its spectacular visual feast. As Enid's life hangs in the balance and Wednesday's own soul-searching comes to the fore, this new season might prove to be the most haunting chapter yet. Halls of Nevermore are resounding once more with secrets, and Wednesday Addams is ready to confront them whether they like it or not.
