Jenna Ortega returns as Netflix drops first teaser trailer for Wednesday season 2

Having truly burst on the scene in season one, Jenna Ortega is back for Wednesday as Netflix has dropped a new sneak peek at season two.

A spin-off to The Addams Family, the series takes us back once again to her time at Nevermore Academy.

The first season landed on Netflix back in 2022 with Tim Burton directing and producing.

Scooping up Emmy Awards and Golden Globe nominations, Wednesday became the second-most watched English-language Netflix series within three weeks of dropping on the platform – so, it’s fair to say fans have high expectations for this upcoming season – with the lead star also serving as a producer this time round.

Alongside Ortega, the likes of Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán are all returning to their roles from series one.

But there’s also going to be some pretty exciting new faces in the cast as the likes of Steve Buscemi and Billie Piper become series regulars as well as Evie Templeton, Owen Painter and Noah Taylor.

Plus, in a bit of a biggie, the original Uncle Fester from The Addams Family films will be making a guest appearance. Yep, Christopher Lloyd is going to be in Wednesday.

Other guest stars include Joanna Lumley, Thandiwe Newton, Frances O’Connor, Haley Joel Osment, Heather Matarazzo and Joonas Suotmao.

“Our goal this season was to discover some fresh faces as well as invite some acting legends we’ve always admired to join Jenna and the gang at Nevermore,” showrunners and executive producers Al Gough and Miles Millar told Tudum.

“When we survey the talent we’ve assembled, we could not be more thrilled. Mission accomplished.”

This new season is said to be ‘darker and more complex’ as Zeta-Jones reckons it’s ‘bigger and more twisted than you can ever imagine’.

This new teaser we've got is only a few seconds long but it confirms that Wednesday comes face to face with Tyler (Hunter Doohan) once again after he was revealed to be the season 1 baddie.

Naturally this was met by huge celebration among Wednesday fans, who said they'd been 'WAITING ALMOST THREE YEARS' for this moment.

Plenty were overjoyed to see Jenna Ortega back in the role, though some fans were hoping to see even more of Wednesday season two as they declared 'we wanted to see Enid'.

Patience, Wednesday fans, there'll surely be even more information dropping beyond this initial few seconds of a teaser soon.

A release date is not yet confirmed, but season two of Wednesday is set to drop on Netflix this year.
