Season 2 of the hit series “Wednesday” is set to take viewers on a thrilling journey as the Addams family daughter, played by Jenna Ortega, embarks on a dangerous mission to save her beloved roommate, Enid, portrayed by Emma Myers. The recently released trailer reveals a tense and emotional storyline that promises to keep fans on the edge of their seats.
In the gripping trailer for Season 2, we see Wednesday with her face streaked with black tears, a visual that indicates the high stakes of her quest. Her mother, Morticia, played by Catherine Zeta-Jones, questions her daughter's distress, asking, “I know what those tears mean. What did you see?” In a hauntingly quiet response, Wednesday reveals the gravity of her vision: “Enid dies and it’s all my fault.” This sets a dark tone for the season, as fans are given a glimpse of a graveyard scene where a headstone reads “In memory of Enid Sinclair.”
As the trailer unfolds, the chilling vision continues with Enid appearing to confront Wednesday, exclaiming, “I died because of you!” This pivotal moment highlights the emotional turmoil Wednesday faces as she navigates her powers and the implications of her visions. In a voiceover, she declares, “Secrets are the bedrock of the Addams family. The sooner I get answers, the sooner I can save Enid — or die trying.”
Alongside the intense storyline, the trailer also showcases Wednesday’s return to Nevermore Academy, where she encounters the newly appointed school leader, Principal Dort, played by Steve Buscemi. Additionally, we are introduced to a group of enthusiastic fangirls led by Agnes, played by Evie Templeton, who idolize Wednesday. This dynamic adds a layer of intrigue and humor to the series, balancing the darker themes present in the storyline.
In conjunction with the trailer release, Netflix has launched an extensive global press campaign dubbed the “Doom Tour.” This promotional effort will see the cast and creators of “Wednesday” traveling not just across the U.S. but also to countries including England, Poland, Italy, France, Romania, Canada, South Korea, and Australia. This widespread promotion highlights the show's international appeal and the anticipation surrounding its return.

They executive produce alongside notable figures such as director Tim Burton, Steve Stark, Andrew Mittman, Tommy Harper, Karen Richards, Kayla Alpert, Jonathan Glickman, Gail Berman, and Meredith Averill.
