Our favorite goth girlie is BACK and broodier than ever in Wednesday, season 2 which drops the titular character in the middle of another spooky mystery with Enid’s life on the line.
Check out the long-awaited trailer below:
Returning to direct the smash hit series is Tim Burton who dials up the dreary deliciousness in the seemingly sinister season.
“For me, it was enjoyable just because I love the cast,” he said about filming the second season. “It was a very strong group of people, and having the opportunity to work with some new cast members this season, it’s a mixture of something beautiful about the old, and beautiful about the new.”
Reigning as Netflix’s biggest series of ALL-TIME with over a billion minutes viewed, Wednesday is primed to shatter its own record with bankable star Jenna Ortega at the center of the macabre mayhem.

“It’s still quite difficult to comprehend,” said Ortega about the massive success of the show. “I see the effects and changes that it’s had on my life and my castmates’ lives, but it’s something that you’re very detached from. If you see a number, it looks kind of crazy, but it’s not like I’ve seen it in a room or anything like that.
I just try not to pay too much attention to that stuff because success for me is more about feeling accomplished and being able to put something out into the world and feel proud. It’s wonderful that it’s been received so well, because there’s a lot of pressure.
When we started the show, I was 18 and had never worked with a director as big as Tim. I had led a show before, but not with a character that was so well known and loved prior to me joining.
It’s a relief, but I would be lying if I didn’t say that I still don’t feel super anxious or feel like I have something I need to live up to every day on set. Maybe that’s a good thing, but it hasn’t gotten easier.”
Building on the success of season 1, the series adds bigger stakes and a slew of guest stars including Lady Gaga, Thandiwe Newton, Christopher Lloyd, Haley Joel Osment, Jamie McShane, Joanna Lumley, Frances O’Connor and more.

“Family weaves quite heavily into this season,” said Burton in an interview with Tudum. “One of the most interesting things about Wednesday is the Addams family mythology. This idea of the whole Addams family being drawn back to school at this point in their lives is interesting, and it causes friction. This show is visually heightened, but at the heart of it are very real family dynamics.”
