The first half of its second series was released on August 6 and ended on a cliff-hanger, with viewers unsure as to whether Ortega's character had died.
In the trailer, Wednesday is seen waking up in a hospital bed with Christie's Principal Weems, who is dressed in a nurse's uniform, telling her to 'rise and shine sleepyhead'.
In another clip the former headteacher of Nevermore Academy tells Wednesday she is her new 'spirit guide' and at the end of the two-minute video she warns her: 'If you don't hurry, you'll have nothing left to save.'
The teaser also shows Wednesday and her grandmother Hester Frump, played by Dame Joanna Lumley, shooting birds, and her mother Morticia, played by Catherine Zeta-Jones, telling her that 'every family has dark chapters'.

Among the other cast members of series two are Doctor Who star Billie Piper, who plays head of music Isadora Capri, and US actor Steve Buscemi, as the new head of the academy, Principal Dort.
Christie, 46, said: 'I felt like I was returning to a group of friends who are all at the top of their game.

'It is such a pleasure for me to be a part of this emotional world, this imaginative world, and play the character of Larissa Weems, who I truly adore and really thought a lot about bringing into being.'
Christie's character was murdered at the hands of Christina Ricci's character Marilyn Thornhill in season one.

Co-creator Miles Millar said: 'When we got into the writers' room, we were determined to bring Gwen back.
'The audience has fallen in love with the Wednesday-Weems relationship … so we're bringing her back in the second half of the season in a very special way that is as confrontational as it is delicious.'
Wednesday season two sees the protagonist explore another supernatural mystery while trying to navigate her newfound fame, which she tries to avoid.
The character of Wednesday is based on the cartoons of Charles Addams, who inspired a 1960s TV series and the popular Addams Family films, starring Ricci as Wednesday. She plays a former teacher of Nevermore in Netflix's second series.

Jared Goff opens up on 'crazy' Taylor Swift shoutout on viral New Heights episode that broke the internet
After he was name-dropped by Taylor Swift minutes into her highly anticipated appearance on New Heights, Jared Goff has broken his silence on the 'crazy' reaction he received to the shoutout. Swift used Goff in her analogy when describing her level of football knowledge when entering her first date with now-boyfriend Travis Kelce over two years ago. Kelce, who hosts New Heights with older brother Jason, were coming off of being competitors during the most recent Super Bowl when Swift began her romance with the tight end. Swift inquired on the date about Kelce's personal life and asked what it was like to compete in a Super Bowl against your brother five feet away from each other. She described it as Jared Goff and Josh Allen on the field at the same time. Of course, offenses do not play each other, with Swift realizing now how 'insane' her question was. It's safe to say she's learned a thing or two since about the Lions and Bills quarterbacks since beginning a relationship with one of the best tight ends of all-time. 'Yeah, pretty crazy, huh?' Goff said of the shoutout. 'Very cool I guess, it was a crazy couple hours last night for me and my phone.' 'It was a crazy couple of hours for me!' #Lions QB Jared Goff on being name dropped by Taylor Swift on last night's @newheightshow podcast. — Hobie Artigue (@HeyItsMeHobie) August 14, 2025 Swift's appearance on New Heights was so in demand that the channel's stream temporarily crashed on YouTube. During the episode, Swift briefly broke down in tears as she opened up on her long battle to reclaim her masters. She also lifted the lid on her whirlwind romance with Kelce, her father's recent heart surgery and her epic Eras Tour. And the NFL star quickly went viral after showering his girlfriend in compliments and affection. 'I'm the luckiest man in the world,' Kelce said repeatedly. The couple finished the episode with a kiss, after he was also seen holding and stroking Swift's hand and even kissing her head - much to the anger of some of the 1.3million fans who tuned in for the live stream. Travis also gushed over his girlfriend during the near-two-hour show on Wednesday night. 'I give the Eras Tour credit (for our relationship) because if I had never gone to that show and been mesmerized and captivated and left with such a desire to want to meet you, I would never have gone on here and told everyone how butt-hurt I was,' Kelce said. 'I have never been just so engulfed in the curiosity of who you were.' Goff was not mentioned again during the show. However, one mention shows the influence of Swift with the Lions star's phone ringing off the hook.

Jennifer Lopez flashes her nude bra in a lace top as she admits she had 'a difficult time in my life' when shooting Kiss Of The Spider Woman
Jennifer Lopez didn't shy away from showing her sexy side in a recent photo shoot. The multi-hyphenate, 56, who displayed her derriere in another sultry shoot, showcased her curves in a sheer lace top with a nude bra beneath it and a pair of matching lace pants for the cover of Out Magazine. The actress had her hair styled in a loose updo with thin tendrils framing her face for the interview promoting her upcoming Kiss of the Spider Woman. The Hustlers star's makeup looked camera ready but natural as she leaned on a cream toned loveseat. The actress was joined by her co-star Tonatiuh, 30, who looked handsome in a tuxedo with a loose fitting cream dinner jacket and a white tuxedo shirt. This comes almost one year after she filed for divorce from Ben Affleck in Los Angeles County Superior Court on August 20, 2024. The singer, who recently completed the European leg of her Up All Night tour, took a break from the road show for the interview. The actress, who was working on the film in Spring 2024 amid rumors of trouble in her marriage to Affleck, 53, offered a small glimpse into her mindset at the time. 'It was one of the most beautiful moviemaking experiences I've ever had, and also at a difficult time in my life, but it … just filled a part of me that was waiting to kind of come alive for so long,' she said of the experience. In the film, Lopez is part of a trio with Tonatiuh and Diego Luna, 45, who are prison cellmates in Argentina in the 1970s. Tonatiuh's Luis Molina has been imprisoned for homosexual activities, and Luna's Valentín Arregui is a political prisoner. Lopez is actress Aurora, about whom Molina tells amazing stories to keep himself and Arregui occupied in their dank prison cell. Through the fantasy, the two men build an emotional bond. 'This very intense experience they have of being locked in the cell together and helping each other survive, they're able to see straight into [the] humanity in one another and fall in love,' she told the outlet. Opening up about her on philosophy she declared, 'To me, that is the real definition of love. 'It doesn't matter what somebody looks like or where they're from or who they are or what background — it's just looking at a person and seeing their soul.' Lopez and Affleck who first met on the set of 2003's Gigli, fell in love and got engaged in November 2002 but it did not last. They parted ways two years later. The pair got a second chance at love, reuniting in 2021 and tying the knot in 2022, first in a Las Vegas wedding in July followed by a much more formal affair in August. Two years after their formal wedding, Lopez filed for divorce on August 20, 2024. To fans looking forward to seeing her in Kiss of the Spider Woman when it opens in theaters October 10, she offered this promise.

Sean Kingston sentenced to 3.5 years in prison for $1m wire fraud scheme
Sean Kingston has been sentenced to 3.5 years in prison by a Florida court for a $1m wire fraud scheme, according to NBC South Florida. The 35-year-old singer, born Kisean Anderson, was found guilty in a South Florida court in March alongside his mother, Janice Turner, for accruing about $1m worth of luxury items through falsified payments that never cleared. Turner was sentenced in July to five years in prison with three years probation. The two were initially arrested in May 2024 on theft charges after a Swat raid on Kingston's South Florida mansion. Investigators told the court that Kingston used social media from April 2023 to March 2024 to arrange purchases of luxury items, and invited sellers to his Florida homes with the promise to feature them and their merchandise on his accounts. When it came time to pay for the items, such as a bulletproof Cadillac Escalade or an Audemars Piguet watch, Kingston or his mother texted the sellers fake wire receipts. During her trial, Turner admitted to falsifying wires for her son, which she claimed was an effort to protect him from scammers by delaying payments for luxury items. Kingston refused to testify. As evidence, the prosecution presented texts from Kingston to his mother that read: 'I told you to make [a] fake receipt' followed by 'so it [looks] like the transfer will be there in a couple [of] days.' Before the judge delivered his sentence, Kingston apologized and said he had learned from his actions, according to the Associated Press. His lawyer had previously asked the judge for home confinement, due to the non-violent nature of the crime and the fact that Kingston had paid back most of the people he defrauded. Born in Miami and raised in his parents' native Kingston, Jamaica, the singer remains most famous for his 2007 single Beautiful Girls, which topped the Billboard charts. He has released four albums and collaborated with the likes of Nicki Minaj and Chris Brown. In 2011, he scored a modest hit with Justin Bieber on the track Eenie Meenie. According to federal court records, Turner pleaded guilty in 2006 to bank fraud for stealing over $160,000, and served nearly 18 months in prison. Both Turner and Kingston have been sued multiple times for failure to pay for luxury items, most recently by a Florida entertainment systems company in February 2024.
