The first six minutes of Wednesday season two have been released and fans are already 'obsessed'.
The hit Netflix show first premiered in 2022 and followed Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams as she attended Nevermore Academy – a school for children with supernatural powers – and promptly found herself smack bang in a murder mystery.
The new clip starts with Wednesday tied up in a serial killer's basement, before she explains that she spent her time away from Nevermore mastering her psychic ability. And, it turns out, she used her new abilities to track down the Kansas City Scalper.
In the YouTube comments, TV fans heaped praise on the sneak preview of the upcoming season.

One fan wrote: 'Man Wednesday going to Kansas City to hunt down a serial killer has got me HYPED!!'
Another said: 'Jenna Ortega seriously delivers on her character! Looking forward to season 2.'
And one keen viewer added: '6 minutes in and I'm already obsessed again. Wednesday carries the entire gothic genre on her shoulders.'
Others were pleased by the new direction the series appears to be taking, with one fan writing: 'I am glad they're adding more horror and backstory this season this is about to be peak.'
Another added: 'I'm so glad they're making it more adult, I loved the first season but it was too slow and boring for the horror aspect for Wednesday.'
The show is one of Netflix's biggest hits, so it's no surprise fans can hardly wait for the much-anticipated season two to drop.
The first season, which premiered in 2022, racked up an enormous 252 million views, earning it the top spot on Netflix's list of the most-watched English-language shows of all time.
Meanwhile, Tudum has confirmed that Lady Gaga will guest-star in Wednesday season two.
The news was officially announced at Netflix Tudum 2025: The Live Event on May 31, where the popstar appeared on stage to celebrate by performing a medley of her hits, including Zombieboy, Bloody Mary and Abracadabra.
She will play the mysterious and enigmatic Rosaline Rotwood, a legendary Nevermore teacher who crosses paths with Wednesday. https://www.instagram.com/p/DKWRHJvRfks/
Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Joanna Lumley, Thandiwe Newton, Christopher Lloyd and Haley Joel Osment are among the other newcomers for season two.
Ahead of the second season arriving in August, co-creators Miles Millar and Alfred Gough have shed light on what viewers can expect, teasing that things at Nevermore get very dark for Wednesday and co…
'There's some moments which are definitely horror movie-worthy,' Miles told Entertainment Weekly. 'We have that in season one, but I think this season there are moments that are very intense, I'll say.
'Season two definitely has some moments which are more straightforward horror, and we're very aware that the show is watched by everybody in terms of the age groups. More Trending
'So we want to make sure that it's never torture porn, but that there's enough bite to it that it feels that there are real stakes and that people die in this world, and it's scary at moments.
'And I think that's the great tonal shift that the show makes between comedy and horror.'
Wednesday season 2 will premiere on Netflix on August 6.

Ronnie O'Sullivan reveals his new career before he leaves the UK with fans thrilled
Following a tough season on and off the table, Ronnie O'Sullivan has unveiled his decision to dive into the world of social media, although one clip already appears to have been removed Snooker legend Ronnie O'Sullivan has announced his latest venture by launching a YouTube channel. The seven-time world champion had a tumultuous second half of last season, barely competing after damaging his cue in a fit of rage at the Championship League in January. Following a series of withdrawals from tournaments, including the Masters, O'Sullivan returned to snooker with a new cue at the World Championship. Despite reaching the semi-finals, he appeared frustrated, expressing discontent with his form and equipment, even replacing the tip and ferrule during his loss to eventual champion Zhao Xintong. After his crushing 17-7 semi-final defeat, O'Sullivan revealed plans to spend more time in the Middle East and be selective about which tournaments he participates in. Now, he has embarked on a new project, creating a YouTube channel that will allow him to share his snooker exploits and outside interests, including cooking. On X, O'Sullivan posted a link to a clip of his 1000th professional century in the 2019 Players Championship final, stating: "Finally gone and got a YouTube channel... I will be uploading all sorts here from some of my favourite shots and matches to me cooking to me meeting and chatting to some interesting people. Hope you guys enjoy it!!" However, upon visiting the channel on Wednesday afternoon, the only clip available was one of him hitting a 147 in practice while in Saudi Arabia before the World Championship. The 1000th century break clip appeared to have been removed. Regardless, the unveiling was a hit with many of his 564,000 X followers. One fan responded: "Subbed already. Can't wait for more content. Good luck!" Another sent their support, saying: "Good luck Ron, keep grafting & playing for as long as you can." A third joked: "Ronnie O'Sullivan cooking must be Fast Food!" Following his World Championship run, O'Sullivan disclosed his future plans, which involve leaving the UK. He said: "I think I'm going to be moving out of the UK this year. A new life somewhere else." The Rocket, who has a snooker academy in his name in Saudi Arabia, added: "I'll still try and play snooker but I don't know what the future looks like for me really. "I'm moving away soon so I'll just see how it goes. There's a lot of more important things in life to worry about than a game of snooker. "For me, it's a big part of my life, but I've got to try and figure out what my future looks like, whether it's playing or not. I'll be moving away to the Middle East but we'll see how it goes. I might be back in six months, who knows?" He insisted his cue issues weren't necessarily to blame for his Crucible struggles, adding: 'I don't even know if it was the cue, the ferrule or me. There were three things. I just don't even know where the white ball's going. I'm at a loss, to be honest with you. 'I don't even know what to say. Sometimes you've got to try something different, you know? It didn't feel great before so I tried to go back to the old brass ferrule.'

Every Guillermo del Toro film: All of the Frankenstein director's films ranked, from best to worst
With his love of monsters, it is no surprise that Guillermo del Toro has directed more than his fair share of creature features. From his debut film Cronos, a horror film about an otherworldly Scarab to his Oscar-winning Gothic romance The Shape of Water, the Mexican director is no stranger to the unusual. And regardless of genre, all of del Toro's filmmaking is imbued with a distinct visual flair, making his upcoming adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein feel all the more appealing - especially since we know that many scenes for the film were shot around Scotland.
