Wednesday Addams is back, and apparently, so is our seasonal depression — and we’ve never been happier.

Netflix just dropped the official trailer for Season 2 of Wednesday, and it’s safe to say: things are about to get a whole lot darker, weirder, and way less kissy. Premiering August 6, 2025, the first half of the new season plunges our favourite goth girl deeper into the chaos of Nevermore Academy… and yes, Enid might be in actual danger.
Season 2’s vibe? Less love triangle, more actual trauma. Jenna Ortega confirmed what many fans whispered last season between unblinking stares — Wednesday’s little detour into romance just wasn’t vibing. “We’re ditching the love interest, which is really great,” Ortega said, proving she understood the assignment and the fanbase. No more awkward flirting. No more soft lighting. Just pure murder-y mystique.
And let’s not forget: the stakes are high. There’s a mysterious threat looming over Enid (Emma Myers), and Wednesday is apparently the only one who can save her. We’re talking werewolves in peril, old enemies resurfacing, and probably at least one cryptic poem scribbled in blood. The horror-to-humour ratio? Leaning heavily into the horror, just as Ortega hoped. And honestly? We’re here for it.
Tim Burton is still at the helm, co-creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar are still meddling in all things monstrous, and the show’s signature macabre wit remains firmly intact. Think black comedy with sharp teeth — and maybe actual teeth, depending on how unhinged the new villains get.

Also worth noting: Netflix is pulling a little streaming trickery this year. Season 2 will arrive in two parts — Part 1 drops August 6, Part 2 follows on September 3. Translation: more time to obsess, theorize, and argue about who Wednesday should (not) date.
Two original cast members are out (RIP to their contracts), but new characters are incoming — and we’re manifesting at least one scene-stealing goth with better eyeliner than you.
The trailer? Loaded with quick cuts, haunted halls, sharp looks, and one-liners that deserve to be printed on black T-shirts immediately. And while Wednesday is still rocking her deadpan delivery and those brutal takedowns, she’s also being forced to deal with something even more terrifying than monsters: human emotions.
So yeah — the Addams heir is still allergic to group hugs, still dressed like a Victorian curse, and still way cooler than anyone you’ve ever met. And now, she’s got bigger problems than a prom night bloodbath.
