Wednesday part two trailer sees Gwendoline Christie return as spirit guide
A trailer for part two of Wednesday's second series shows Gwendoline Christie's character returning as a spirit guide after being killed off in season one. The Netflix show, directed by Edward Scissorhands filmmaker Tim Burton, has been a hit for the streaming company and stars US actress Jenna Ortega in the lead role. Advertisement 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'. Advertisement 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. Dame Joanna Lumley and Jenna Ortega in Wednesday (Bernard Walsh/Netflix/PA) '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. Advertisement 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.

Katana Kitten
Anyone who's ever gone in for Japanese cocktailing knows the promise of the premise: finely-tuned atmosphere, attention to detail, and pride in high standards of execution. But there is no 'correct' version of the experience, only the proprietor's vision and the realization thereof. Katana Kitten —a split-level Japanese American cocktail bar in Greenwich Village—feels like cocktail master Masahiro Urushido is channeling the Japanese cocktail ethos through a single concept: fun. It's clear that KK's designers kept both American dive bars and Japanese Izakayas on their mood board. The upper floor is like a dress-shirt undone just enough to reveal a wild chest-rocker tattoo: a highly deliberate choice between chaos and decorum. Guests who belly up to the main bar get a front-row seat to the show that produces their drinks, but it's easy to find a seat apart. Downstairs' vibes are a tad looser overall and, like all subterranean bars, more vibey. Down there, it's all about the company you keep with table seating only. The cocktails here are, in a word, expert. While they aren't the showiest or most soigné, they aren't trying to be and are all eminently drinkable. The same ethos that guides the bar's design extends to the mixology, which is to say accessible yet imaginative, evincing both a sense of humor and commitment to precision. The Mikan Swizzle, for example–sochu, sake, mango, citrus, soda, and cherry–felt like a sipper, that is, until I realized that my glass was empty. If you're not into cocktails, Katana Kitten offers a nice selection of Japanese whiskeys, wine by the bottle or glass, a few beers and some sake. The bites—Japanese-ish finger foods and small sandwiches—are all very tasty. While creativity pervades the cocktail menu, it's somewhat more restrained when it comes to food. That said, the mortadella katsu sando made me wonder where it had been my whole life. There is no correct way to spend an evening at Katana Kitten—no 'right' or 'authentic' experience to chase. That said, you won't be disappointed to go for the Izakaya experience and order round after round of drinks accompanied by curry fries, Katsu sandwiches, or fried squid served with Kewpie mayo and takoyaki sauce. For the full effect, we suggest that you attend with an open-minded friend or two who are down to go on a bit of a boozy adventure through the menu, touring the imagination of one of our foremost cocktail wizards.
