WEDNESDAY Season 2 Part 2 Trailer Teases Ghostly Return and Darker Twists Ahead
Wednesday fans, get ready for more supernatural mayhem at Nevermore Academy. Netflix has dropped a new trailer for Wednesday Season 2, Part 2, and it’s teasing a darker and more intense conclusion. I’ve been have a very fun time watching this show!
Not only is there more Hyde havoc on the horizon, but the trailer also reveals the shocking return of a fan-favorite character we thought was long gone. Sooilers ahead!
Gwendoline Christie is back as Principal Weems, despite her brutal death at the end of Season 1. Viewers watched her get taken out by Marilyn Thornhill, who injected her with poisonous nightshade.
With Steve Buscemi stepping in as Barry Dort, Nevermore’s new principal, Weems' story seemed wrapped. But the writers have found a clever way to bring her back without undoing her death. This time, she returns as a ghostly spirit guide for Wednesday.
Since Wednesday can no longer connect with Goody Addams, fans expected a new spectral presence to guide her. What’s surprising is that it’s Weems, considering she’s not part of the Addams bloodline. But it works.
As a ghost tied to Nevermore, she fits naturally into the school’s eerie ecosystem. In fact, Christie’s comeback was quietly teased during the show’s “Global Doom Tour” in Sydney, where she showed up alongside the cast.
Netflix Australia & New Zealand even shared a clip on Instagram where Weems chillingly says:
“Did you really think Nevermore would let me go so easily? I was never gone… you just stopped looking.”
It seems Weems may be sticking around to help Wednesday sharpen her psychic powers. But there's a chance she also needs something from Wednesday, some unfinished business that keeps her from resting in peace. So much for those fan theories suggesting she shapeshifted into Lurch.
Outside of Weems’ ghostly return, the new trailer amps up the threat of Tyler’s Hyde. He’s back and more dangerous than ever, and it’s clear no one close to Wednesday is safe.
There are also ominous hints about hidden secrets within the Addams family that are yet to be revealed. And at the tail end of the teaser, a cryptic voice that sounds a lot like Lady Gaga warns, “Beware, there will be a price to pay.” What that price is, and what it means for Wednesday, is still a mystery.
Wednesday Season 2, Part 1 is currently streaming on Netflix. The second half of the season drops on September 3, 2025.
