Netflix Drops Official Trailer for 'Wednesday' Season 2
Fans of Nevermore Academy's most delightfully morbid student can rejoice:Netflixhas officially dropped the trailer forWednesdaySeason 2, starringJenna Ortega. The new footage promises a darker, more horror-centric turn for the hit series, moving away from romantic subplots to focus on new mysteries, family dynamics, and a terrifying prophecy. The highly anticipated season will be released in two parts, with Part 1 arriving on August 6, 2025, and Part 2 following on September 3, 2025.
The trailer immediately immerses viewers back into Wednesday Addams' gothic world, showcasing her return to Nevermore Academy. However, this isn't a peaceful re-entry. Wednesday struggles with unwanted fame after saving the school in Season 1, even joking about setting bear traps for obsessive fans. The core of the new season's plot is unveiled as Wednesday has a disturbing psychic vision: her best friend and roommate, Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers), will die, and Wednesday believes she is somehow responsible. This chilling premonition sets Wednesday on a desperate mission to save Enid, vowing to 'die trying.'
Jenna Ortega, who now serves as a producer on the show, previously revealed her desire to lean into the horror aspect of the series, a promise the Season 2 trailer definitively confirms. The showrunners have also assured fans that the love triangle elements from Season 1 are gone, with Wednesday's focus shifting to navigating complex relationships with her mother, Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones), and Enid. The trailer teases a 'bone-chilling' season filled with haunted dolls, swarms of bees, and a flaming, winged creature.
New characters are set to join the macabre fun, including Steve Buscemi as Principal Barry Dort, the new headmaster of Nevermore Academy, and Joanna Lumley as Grandmama Hester Frump, Wednesday's grandmother. The trailer also offers glimpses of Wednesday grappling with her powers, a mysterious masked figure, and even Tyler in his Hyde form, suggesting he won't remain imprisoned. Family dynamics will be central, with Wednesday's parents, Morticia and Gomez (Luis Guzmán), frequently on campus, adding to the friction. With a global fan base eagerly awaiting its return,WednesdaySeason 2 is poised to deliver a seamless, high-octane continuation, having been filmed back-to-back with Season 3. The two-part release strategy aligns with Netflix's approach for its major titles, ensuring sustained engagement. This season promises to be 'bigger, bolder, gorier, a bit darker,' and even 'sillier,' reinforcing Wednesday's status as a unique blend of dark comedy, mystery, and supernatural thrills.

‘I Think My Mom Has More Followers' – Jake Paul Takes Shot at Boxing Superstar
'I Think My Mom Has More Followers' – Jake Paul Takes Shot at Boxing Superstar originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Jake Paul stirred up headlines outside the ring following Taylor-Serrano 3 on Netflix. Advertisement It wasn't Jake Paul's fists making noise on Friday night, but his words. While the highly anticipated trilogy between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano delivered fireworks inside the ring, it was Paul's post-fight commentary that sparked headlines outside of it. Promoting the historic Netflix event under his Most Valuable Promotions banner, Paul backed Serrano in her third showdown with Taylor—a bout that ended with Taylor cleanly sweeping the trilogy in front of a packed Madison Square Garden. Following the bout, the press conference shifted to future matchups. Paul and his MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian were asked about rising contender Shadasia Green potentially facing Claressa Shields. WASHINGTON, DC - AUGUST 22: Jake Paul looks on during the Battle of the Giants Press Conference at The Anthem on August 22, 2024 in Washington, DC. (Photo by) When the idea of placing that fight on the Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford undercard came up, Bidarian, former UFC CFO, dismissed the idea, saying, 'That's a headline event, my man. This is MVP W, MVP Women.' Advertisement But Jake Paul took it further. 'No one knows who Terence Crawford is. I think my mom has more followers than him, not even kidding,' Paul said bluntly in a clip shared by Happy Punch—an eyebrow-raising statement considering Crawford is the reigning undisputed welterweight champion and one of boxing's pound-for-pound elites. With titles across multiple divisions and a historic dismantling of Errol Spence Jr., Crawford's credentials speak for themselves. Still, Paul's comments were classic showman—controversial and perfectly timed. As Netflix ramps up its investment in combat sports, both Shields vs Green and Canelo vs Crawford promise blockbuster potential. But if Jake Paul has his way, the spotlight might shift sooner than expected.

Charlize Theron calls out Hollywood for not taking 'risk' on female hero action films
Actress Charlize Theron criticized the film industry for being reluctant to support female-led action films, in a new interview with The New York Times. Theron and fellow actress Uma Thurman spoke to the outlet about the challenges women face in the genre as they promote their new Netflix superhero sequel, "The Old Guard 2." Theron said that securing the lead roles in action films is more challenging for women because Hollywood viewed these films as more of a risk. "Yeah, it's harder," Theron said. "That's known. Action films with female leads don't get green-lit as much as the ones with male leads. I think the thing that always frustrates me is the fact that guys will get a free ride." The Oscar-winning actress suggested there was a double-standard in Hollywood, claiming male actors that star in films that flop at the box office are given a pass while women rarely receive the same leeway. "When women do this and the movie maybe doesn't hit fully, they don't necessarily get a chance again," she said. "With this, we were very aware that eyes were on us. It's not a risk that studios want to take, but they'll take it many times on the same guy who might have a string of action movies that did not do so well." Both she and Thurman have starred in successful female-led action films. Thurman famously played an assassin in "Kill Bill," while Theron has taken on iconic roles in films like "Mad Max: Fury Road" and the "Fast & Furious" franchise.
