'Wednesday' season 2 opening scene reveals Haley Joel Osment's killer role
Wednesday Addams knew exactly how she wanted to spend her summer vacation: Tracking down her favorite serial killer.
During Netflix's live Tudum event on Saturday, the streamer released the first six minutes of Wednesday's highly anticipated second season, which features Jenna Ortega's teenage sleuth tracking down The Kansas City Scalper, "America's most elusive serial killer," at least according to Wednesday.
In the footage, which you can watch above, the series follows Wednesday's obsession with the serial killer from the time that she was 11 and gave a presentation about him in class. Now, with a little help from Thing — and the psychic abilities that she's been working on — she's able to use a piece of (stolen) evidence to locate the killer.
And it just so happens that the killer looks a lot like Haley Joel Osment. The actor, who made news recently when he was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and possession of cocaine at a ski resort, was known to be part of season 2, but until now, his role had been kept secret. But as the footage reveals, Osment is playing the aforementioned Kansas City Scalper.
In the clip, the Sixth Sense star has Wednesday tied up before she pulls out her secret weapon: Thing. Thing attacks the serial killer, knocking him out, while Wednesday frees herself. She then pulls out an actual weapon — a knife — and tells the scalper, "Let's play dolls."
The dark opening won't surprise fans, especially considering that season 1 opened on Wednesday releasing piranhas into a pool filled with her brother's bullies, but according to show creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, season 2 will be even darker.
"There's some moments which are definitely horror movie-worthy," Millar previously told Entertainment Weekly. "We have that in season 1, but I think this season there are moments that are very intense, I'll say."One other tidbit worth pointing out from the scene: Thing calls out the fact that Wednesday's eyes are bleeding, which she calls "a minor psychic glitch" before telling Thing he has to keep it a secret ... particularly from her mother.
For more, you can watch the full opening six minutes of Wednesday season 2 above. The series is set to premiere Part 1 on Aug. 6 and Part 2 on Sept. 3 on Netflix.

Fantastic Four: A Rock Named Jennifer Replaced The Thing on First Steps' Set
had a rock named Jennifer used as a stand-in for The Thing. The upcoming Marvel Studios production is one of the most anticipated movies of 2025. Directed by Matt Shakman, the movie features Bachrach alongside Joseph Quinn, Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, and many more. Matt Shakman recently sat down for a conversation and revealed that they used a rock they named Jennifer as a stand-in for The Thing on The Fantastic Four: First Steps' set. The makers used CGI and performance capture on Ebon Moss-Bachrach to bring the Thing to life on-screen. However, the rock named Jennifer also aided them in the process. Recounting the process, the director told Empire, 'We went out to the desert and found a rock that looked exactly how we thought The Thing should look, and we filmed it in every single shot that The Thing appears in in the movie, under every lighting environment.' Moreover, Ebon Moss-Bachrach chimed in to express his thoughts on his character, the Thing, AKA Ben Grimm's presentation on screen. He conveyed, 'It's a little bit heady to think about all the hundreds of people that are helping animate this character. I just had faith that they would make my performance so much cooler. I'm very, very happy with the way Ben looks.' Additionally, The Punisher star asserted that he felt connected to the Thing, as he hails from New York as well. He further spoke of The Fantastic Four character's association with creator Jack Kirby. Moss-Bachrach said, 'He's a Lower East Side guy. A lot of this character was a homage to his father, and that, to me, is very meaningful.' Meanwhile, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is all set to come to theaters next month on July 25.
