Jenna Ortega is back as Wednesday in the Netflix’s Wednesday Season 2 trailer, along with the rest of the cast.

The second season follows Wednesday as she returns for another year at Nevermore Academy, where a new mystery and other challenges are ready to unfold.

According to the official synopsis:

Wednesday Addams (Ortega) returns to prowl the Gothic halls of Nevermore Academy, where fresh foes and woes await. This season, Wednesday must navigate family, friends and old adversaries, propelling her into another year of delightfully dark and kooky mayhem. Armed with her signature razor-sharp wit and deadpan charm, Wednesday is also plunged into a new bone-chilling supernatural mystery.

What do the creators say about the new season?

Series co-creator Alfred Gough told Netflix’s Tudum that this season will focus even more on the characters who populate Wednesday’s world.

“Season 1 really focused on Wednesday, but you met the other characters but didn’t get to know them, and now we get to expand their storylines and expand the scope and breadth of the show,” Gough said.

Co-creator Miles Millar also said, “Nothing is what it seems in Season 2.”

“Wednesday goes into this season thinking she knows Nevermore. It’s the first time she’s returned to a school willingly,” Millar said. “But as soon as she gets back, nothing happens that she expects. She thinks she’s going to be in control, that she knows where all the bodies are buried, and she doesn’t.”
