Wednesday Season 2 Promises Blood, Bans Romance, and Might Just Break the Internet

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.

Meghan Markle Wants Her Paris Hilton Era—But Make It Hospitality Chic

If you thought Meghan Markle was done trying on industries like designer dresses, think again. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, is reportedly stepping into her latest rebrand—luxury hotelier. Yes, really. According to RadarOnline, Meghan is trademarking her lifestyle biz As Ever to cover “hospitality services,” which could include everything from dreamy hotels to candle-lit restaurants. (So basically, her own Gwyneth Paltrow x Paris Hilton crossover moment.) And honestly? We kind of saw it coming. In her docuseries With Love, Meghan—which feels like Pinterest, wellness, and monogrammed towels got together and had a baby—she gave us major hostess energy. Think homemade jam aesthetics, curated linen sheets, and passive-aggressive mentions of “prep” for her guest room. (Translation: Martha Stewart with a tiara.) Now, word on the coast is Meghan’s about to bottle up her lifestyle-inspo realness into an actual business venture—à la Paris Hilton, the original hotel heiress and chaos icon. Move over Montecito, there’s a new boutique resort queen in town. A Duchess With a Dream (and a Trademark) According to reports, Meghan has filed to expand As Ever’s reach into hospitality—because lifestyle candles clearly weren’t enough. The brand already positions itself as “a love language” (unclear if it’s Words of Affirmation or Acts of Service), and now it wants to become your next vacation moodboard too. A new photo on the As Ever Instagram shows Meghan running through the sea in a gauzy white dress, arms open like a Hallmark mermaid. The caption? “So excited for all the good to come! Running into the weekend like 🌊” — and yes, you can hear the inspirational flute music playing softly in the background. Paris, But Make It Polo Club It’s giving Paris Hilton playbook, but with tea towels and Sussex subtlety. Both Meghan and Paris are reality-adjacent celebs with household names, branded aesthetics, and just enough legacy to convince you it’s luxe. Only difference? Meghan is selling serenity. Paris is still selling party. And while Brits may have side-eyed Meghan’s recent Instagram resurgence—cough the infamous hospital twerk video cough—Gen Z America is eating it up like it’s a $26 Erewhon smoothie. The hospital clip drew major flack in the UK for being, well…vulgar. But sources say Meghan is unbothered. Apparently, what’s cringe in London is trending in LA. “Her new products are marketed at Americans, not the UK,” says a source.Translation: Keep calm and mind your own market. With As Ever reportedly filming a second season, launching hotels, and teasing soft-focus beach content, Meghan’s evolution from duchess to digital duchesscore mogul is well underway. Paris Hilton walked so Meghan Markle could soft-launch a spa resort in Santa Barbara.
