The chilling winds of Nevermore Academy return with renewed intensity as Netflix drops the official trailer for The Wednesday Season 2 , Part 1. Set to premiere on August 6, the highly anticipated sequel to Tim Burton's breakout gothic hit places the fate of fan-favourite Enid Sinclair in serious jeopardy.Jenna Ortega reprises her role as the death-obsessed teen Wednesday Addams, who must now confront a disturbing psychic vision—one that reveals her roommate and closest friend, Enid (Emma Myers), may die. More alarmingly, Wednesday believes she's somehow responsible. 'Enid dies, and it's all my fault,' she declares in the ominous teaser, setting the tone for what promises to be a darker, emotionally turbulent season, as mentioned in a report by Netflix.Season 2 picks up with Wednesday returning to Nevermore after a summer spent honing her psychic 'Raven' abilities. Using Goody Addams' ancient Book of Spells, she believes she has gained control over her visions. However, black tears begin to stream down her face whenever she taps into her powers, a disturbing new glitch that casts doubt on whether her insights can be trusted.'This season explores the fragility of Wednesday's certainty,' co-creator Alfred Gough explained. 'She often assumes she's right, but she'll soon learn how dangerous that kind of confidence can be.'At the heart of Season 2 lies the deepening relationship between Wednesday and Enid. The former roommates, once opposites in every sense, are now bound by a complex friendship and, possibly, fate.According to co-creator Miles Millar, the pair's evolving bond faces harsh tests. 'Wednesday must navigate relationships with both her mother and Enid. These connections are fraught and anything but easy,' he stated, as mentioned in a report by Netflix.Emma Myers, who plays Enid, echoed that sentiment. 'Enid and Wednesday understand each other now on a deeper level. It's fun—and terrifying to explore that friendship this season,' she said.As Wednesday races against time to alter Enid's foretold death, the trailer hints that Morticia Addams (Catherine Zeta-Jones) may be keeping secrets of her own. 'I know what those tears mean,' she warns her daughter in a cryptic exchange that fuels speculation about hidden family knowledge.With Principal Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie) now dead following the events of Season 1, the leadership at Nevermore has changed hands. Season 2 introduces Principal Barry Dort, played by Steve Buscemi, who arrives with a bold new vision for the outcast academy.Unlike his predecessor, Dort champions 'outcast pride,' rejecting the previous efforts at integration with normies. 'He's weaponised Weems' legacy to push a separatist narrative,' Gough revealed. 'It adds an entirely new energy to the school.'Meanwhile, Wednesday's rise to reluctant fame after saving the school has not gone unnoticed. The trailer reveals her navigating unwanted popularity, including a new admirer, Agnes DeMille (Evie Templeton), who sports red braids as a nod to her idol.Family continues to be a central theme, with the Addams clan more entangled than ever. Wednesday's brother Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez) joins her at Nevermore, ensuring Morticia and Gomez (Luis Guzmán) are frequently on campus—much to their daughter's dismay.Catherine Zeta-Jones, speaking on the evolving mother-daughter dynamic, said, 'After Season 1, you'd expect some healing. But things have only gotten more strained.'Season 2 also welcomes Grandmama Hester Frump, played by Joanna Lumley. As Morticia's mother and Wednesday's grandmother, she brings another layer of familial tension. Executive producer Tim Burton hinted that generational clashes will play a critical role in the unfolding narrative. 'There's something inherently delicious about exploring the mythology of the Addams women—three generations all in one haunted space,' he said.Netflix has announced that Season 2 will be released in two parts. While Part 1 arrives on August 6, Part 2 will premiere on September 3, promising further revelations and perhaps the final word on Enid's fate.The trailer also offers glimpses of an extravagant party, secret passageways, and what appear to be cryptic rituals—all suggesting that Wednesday's journey will take darker and more emotionally complex turns.With The Wednesday Season 2 shifting from psychological introspection to high-stakes supernatural peril, the looming question remains: Will Enid survive? As visions grow more chaotic and familial secrets come to light, viewers can expect a richly layered narrative that blends gothic horror with raw emotional depth.Fans of the macabre should mark their calendars—Wednesday returns in August, and it promises to be deadly.The main plot revolves around Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) having a disturbing psychic vision that shows her roommate and best friend Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers) dying — and Wednesday believes it may be her fault.It's unclear. The trailer reveals that Enid's life is in danger, and much of the season follows Wednesday trying to prevent her foretold death. Netflix has not confirmed her fate, making it a central suspense point.

Brad Pitt returns as Cliff Booth in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood sequel; See pics
The first photos of Hollywood star Brad Pitt as Cliff Booth in The Adventures of Cliff Booth, the follow-up to Quentin Tarantino's Oscar-winning feature Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, are now out— and yes, the signature long hair is back. Brad Pitt plays Cliff Booth While earlier images from the set had shown Brad sporting a buzz cut, those now appear to have been from rehearsals. Fresh paparazzi shots, from the actual shoot, taken on Tuesday night outside Los Angeles' Beverly Cinema by Just Jared, confirm that Brad is back in full costume — complete with a blonde wig and vintage '70s threads — for the upcoming film which will stream on Netflix. According to report in Just Jared, earlier that day, Brad was also spotted in casual wear prepping for scenes alongside Girl Meets World alum Corey Fogelmanis and Anora actor Karren Karagulian. A closer look at the set reveals some key period details: notably, a poster of Richard Pryor's 1977 comedy Which Way Is Up? displayed at the cinema's entrance — a clue that the sequel unfolds nearly a decade after the events of the original film. The new project has attracted particular attention because it brings together some of Hollywood's biggest names, both on and off camera. Though Quentin originally wrote the script and had once planned to direct it as his tenth (and possibly final) film, he ultimately set the story aside. That's when Brad — who won an Academy Award for his portrayal of the cool-headed stuntman in the original — stepped in to resurrect the project, reportedly helping shepherd it to Netflix. The streaming platform is said to have purchased the unused Quentin screenplay for $20 million. David Fincher, who has worked with Brad before in Seven and Fight Club, will be helming the film, taking over from Quentin. In comments made during a promotional event for his recently released film F1, Brad clarified that the movie is 'an episode in the character's life and not a sequel.' 'This is something Quentin Tarantino wrote. He didn't want to direct it at this time, so our friend David Fincher stepped in,' he had said. Set in the late 1970s, the film nods to several cinematic influences of the era. The setting year — 1977 — is significant not just because of the Pryor poster, but also because it marks the release of Rolling Thunder, one of Quentin's personal favorites. Alongside Pitt, the ensemble cast includes Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Carla Gugino, JB Tadena, and Corey Fogelmanis, whose casting was recently confirmed by Deadline.
