The Addams Family franchise made a major comeback with the hit television series Wednesday on Netflix. After premiering on Netflix in 2022, it immediately broke records for the streaming service, and now star Jenna Ortega is set to reprise her role in Wednesday Season 2, set to debut later this year, as revealed in the all-new trailer.
Wednesday is just one of several properties that turned Ortega into a household name. In addition to her appearances in X, Scream, Scream VI, and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, she has absolutely made a name for herself in the horror genre. As such, she’s the perfect fit for Wednesday Addams, as the new trailer below confirms.
Here’s the full official trailer for Wednesday Season 2:
It’s an exciting look at the return to Nevermore and even more Addams Family inspired shenanigans. Of course, the series will once again offer the darker tone depicted in the show’s first season, something which has resonated with viewers and made Wednesday into such a success.

The second season includes a total of eight episodes. Tim Burton will direct four of the episodes, including the premiere and finale of Part 1 and the final two episodes of Part 2. Other directors attached to the new season are Paco Cabezas and Angela Robinson.
