Jenna Ortega returns as the comically dour Wednesday Addams in the first teaser trailer for Wednesday season two.
The trailer, which was released by Netflix on Wednesday, showed the Gen Z scream queen, 22, shocking airport security after setting off the metal detector.
At the beginning of her solo travel mission, she begrudgingly revealed the brass knuckles, a taser, a machete and many more knives and weapons as well as a severed hand.
But what she ended up getting in trouble for was a small tube of sun cream that was secretly packed by Thing, the beloved limb character and Wednesday's companion played by Victor Dorobantu.
The actress — who is also set to star opposite The Weeknd and alongside Barry Keoghan in the singer's upcoming thriller movie Hurry Up Tomorrow — as Wednesday then revealed that she knows where the bodies are buried.
The second season of the record-breaking supernatural series, which Netflix teased in first look photos set in a graveyard and a psychiatric hospital earlier this year, will premiere in two parts.
The trailer plays a montage of noir-ish, action-packed clips teasing the mysteries to solve and the beasts to be unleashed in upcoming season.
Wednesday is seen riding back to school with the rest of the Addams family driving with her.
She is joined by Catherine Zeta-Jones again as her mother Morticia and Luis Guzmán as the Addams family patriarch Gomez and brother Pugsley, played by Isaac Ordonez.
'This is the first time you've ever willingly returned to a school,' her mother Morticia observes. 'How does it feel?'
'Like returning to the scene of the crime,' Wednesday says in response.
'I already know where the bodies are buried.'
Back at Nevermore Academy, Wednesday reunites with her bubbly and colorful roommate Enid Sinclair, played by Emma Myers, and sees she is having a fun gathering in their room.
Then, Wednesday is seen deep in the throes of another mystery as a sequence of dynamic, action scenes plays.

Wearing what appears to be a gym uniform, she is seen emerging from an ominous pink fog full of wasps.
She is also seen tied up to a chair and sitting at the head of a table with a bunch of dolls in what appeared to be an in-the-dark tea party.
She has a cloth tied over her mouth as a gag and black tears running down her face, but then gets out of her binds as she is later seen holding up a massive knife.
'Let's play dolls,' she utters in a haunting tone.
Then, the trailer shows Wednesday showing her adoration for her friend and roommate Enid, gifting her a life-size doll with blonde hair and in colorful dress.
'I mean, it is a little creepy but, um, the curls are super soft,' Enid says kindly as she tries to stifle her unease.
'It's made from real human hair,' Wednesday tells her with her deadpan humor and the most excitement she can muster.
The teaser trailer also shows a sneak peek of a celebration as Wednesday and her loved ones find themselves at a spooky 'Grim World' carnival.
A scene shows her parents Morticia and Gomez dancing in a close embrace as they perform a sultry tango.
And while maintaining intense eye contact, the pair sway and Gomez lowers Morticia into a dip.
Another montage shows a dramatic car accident as well as Wednesday swinging an axe at the carnival in addition to new characters.
'Wherever there's murder and mayhem,' she whispers. 'You will always find an Addams.'
She also comes face to face with Tyler Galpin's Hyde Monster once again and sees her former classmate, who was a part of a love triangle with her, escape from a psychiatric hospital.
The trailer concludes with a mysterious turn of events, seemingly suggesting that a long-gone Addams family member will wake up from the dead.
A broken tombstone is shown, where only the Addams surname is visible alongside the epitaph: 'Resting in death's sweet embrace.'
'Every family has dark secrets, Wednesday,' Morticia whispers in a voiceover. 'And secrets can have deadly consequences.'
'You don't have to worry about me, Mother,' the sharp-tongued Wednesday replies. 'I do my best work in the dark.'

Alongside the returning cast members, there are also many newcomers joining the all-star ensemble.
Fred Armisen returns as Wednesday's Uncle Fester.
Meanwhile, their former co-star Percy Hynes White, who played Xavier Thorpe, one of Wednesday's two love interests, will not be returning for the season and his character was erased from the storyline due to controversy.
Multiple allegations of sexual assault were raised against Hynes White after the first season debuted in 2022, and he has denied all accusations.
To distract from his absence, however, a slew of fresh faces will be joining the cast.
Joanna Lumley joins the cast as Hester Frump, Morticia's complex mother and Wednesday's closest ally.
Steve Buscemi plays Principal Barry Dort.
The first four episodes will hit the streamer on August 6, 2025, and the second four will be released on September 3, 2025.
