Twisted just got twister: First look at Wednesday Season 2 teases creepier mysteries

Alright, sharpen your knives and prepare for a new dose of mayhem—Wednesday Season 2 is creeping closer, and Netflix just dropped a behind-the-scenes glimpse during Geeked Week 2024. Fresh off her recent haunting appearance in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (yes, we said it twice—no risk!), Jenna Ortega seems to be specializing in "gothic girl chic" like it's a new major at Nevermore Academy. She’s practically the queen of the spooky, owning her roles with that perfect balance of brooding and sass. As the teaser hints, we’re about to dive even deeper into Nevermore’s mysteries, with Wednesday leading the charge in her usual eerie style—knife in hand, naturally.

Season 2 promises to crank up the spooky factor, with Wednesday Addams (played by the ever-captivating Ortega) taking us deeper into the twisted mysteries of Nevermore Academy. If you thought season 1 was a rollercoaster, get ready for an even more intense ride this time. We’ve got creepy dolls, dramatic confrontations, and more of that signature Addams weirdness. Oh, and Wednesday’s mom, Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones), says season 2 is going to be “bigger and more twisted than you can ever imagine.”

For those keeping track: Percy Hynes White (Xavier) and Naomi J. Ogawa (Yoko) won’t be returning for season 2, but what’s even juicier is the fact that the love triangle storyline has been kicked to the curb in favor of leaning more into the horror vibe. Because who needs romance when there’s a whole new level of creepy to uncover?

But let’s be honest: if we were going to get a romance, fans were dying for a certain ship to sail. Yes, we’re talking about Wenclair—Wednesday and Enid. Even Jenna Ortega herself teased in an interview with PRIDE that, “in a perfect world, [Wenclair] would have been a thing.” Emma Myers, who plays the werewolf-with-a-heart Enid, also acknowledged the fans’ hopes in an interview with Elite Daily, where she shared how aware they were of the strong connection between their characters.

Honestly, it makes sense—Wednesday has become an unexpected queer icon, with her unapologetic individuality and defiance of all things "normal" resonating with so many. The potential for a romance between Wednesday and Enid had fans howling (pun intended), as it would have been a perfect fit for the show’s boundary-pushing style. While we might not get to see that relationship blossom, the chemistry between these two remains one of the highlights, and who knows—maybe in an alternate dimension, Wenclair is thriving in all its gothic glory.

And what would a Wednesday series be without a few perfectly executed one-liners and some seriously twisted family dynamics? It looks like we’ll be getting more time with the Addams clan, too, and with that comes the promise of dark humor and plenty of macabre charm. The more Morticia and Gomez, the better—right?

With all this hype, Season 2 is shaping up to be everything we hoped for and more. If it’s half as twisted as Morticia says, we’re in for a wild, weird, and—dare we say—delightfully creepy season. Just don’t forget to bring your best poker face… Wednesday would approve.
