Wednesday season 2 part 2 trailer lands with huge star and it's not Lady Gaga
Netflix has just dropped the trailer for Wednesday season two, part two, teasing the remaining episodes from the recent run after fans were left confused over only getting four episodes and furiously speculating about the rest of the run.
The show landed earlier this month with Wednesday Addams (played by Jenna Ortega) taking on a fresh mystery involving the Willow Hill Asylum, dead Outcasts, and murderous crows.
The teaser sees the return of Principal Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie) after Wednesday wakes up from her comatose state.
Weems grins and says: 'Rise and shine sleepy head,' as Wednesday tries to figure out why she is seeing former Nevermore's headteacher, who was killed off by Marilyn Thornhill/Laurel Gates (Christina Ricci) in season one.
Weems goes on to explain: 'This isn't hell, but I understand the confusion', before adding: 'Because I am your new spirit guide, surprise.'

Weems will now be guiding Wednesday after the teen lost her psychic abilities as well as Goody's book which would have helped her to regain them. Unfortunately, for Wednesday, only no one else can see Weems apart from her.
Along with Weems in this new expanded role, Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan) is still out on the loose and plans to kill both Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers) and Wednesday.
Tyler dons a hooded cloak as he goes undercover and appears to be at Nevermore.
Nonetheless, a defiant Wednesday vows to Enid that she will fix the Tyler situation. But her friend tells her: 'Fix it? You're the reason he escaped.'
There's also a sneak peek at the gala at Nevermore that Principal Dort (Steve Buscemi) has thrown to raise funds for the school, as well as a Tango between Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Gomez (Luis Guzmán).
Wednesday later bonds with Grandmama (Joanna Lumley) as they go clay pigeon shooting, before Morticia joins the duo for a supernatural crystal ball reading.
Morticia and Wednesday clash as the teen sleuth demands to know the family's big secret, presumably asking both her mother and grandmother about Aunt Ophelia, who's been missing for 20 years.
The trailer ends on an ominous note as a voiceover warns: 'There will be a price to pay.' A gravestone suggests Wednesday could also be killed off if she's not careful.
Christie teased her return prior to the trailer's drop when she turned up at the Outcast Assembly event as part of the show's Global Doom Tour.
The Game of Thrones and Severance actress walked onto the stage as a recording of her voice played.
Fans heard the recording of Weems saying: 'Did you really think Nevermore would let me go so easily? I was never gone, you just stopped looking.'
The second part will also feature an appearance from Lady Gaga, but it looks like the global pop star and actress hasn't appeared in the trailer.
Netflix previously confirmed Lady Gaga will play legendary Nevermore teacher Rosaline Rotwood, who will cross paths with Wednesday.
Despite being a no-show in the dream series, it's likely she will be making a grand entrance.

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... The Stranger Things re-review club concludes season one. Recap reflects on if the show should have been a one-and-done. Plus who is the secret comedy genius of Stranger Things. Our journey through the Upside Down reaches a major milestone as I wrap up my re-review of Stranger Things season one. The last time we finished on the discovery of a fake Will Byers and I tried to figure out what the show is about. We are diving headlong into the second half of the first series and will wrap up the remaining episodes this week. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Apologies, I was unable to watch any Stranger Things last week and had to take a break from the regular schedule. To make it up, here is a bumper four episode round-up which will take us through to the end of the first season. Make sure you have watched Stranger Things season one episodes five through eight before you read. Although, like my other re-reviews, this is not super full of spoilers - but do tread carefully. Chapter 5: The Flea and the Acrobat Stranger Things | Curtis Baker/Netflix Synopsis: Hopper breaks into the lab while Nancy and Jonathan confront the force that took Will. The boys ask Mr. Clarke how to travel to another dimension. We have officially passed the half-way point of the first season of Stranger Things. In a parallel world perhaps this would have been the start of the climax of the show as a miniseries. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad This episode juggles quite a lot, particularly on the exposition side. It has to explain what exactly the Upside Down is and finds an adequate way to do it, these sorts of important info dumps are neigh on impossible to pull off elegantly - and having it be in the guise of a The boys and 11 know what they need to do, they have the goal for the back half of the season. Find the Gate and use it to get Will back - what could possibly go wrong right? However, away from the 'plot' and 'wikipedia summary' aspects of the episode it is one that seems fascinated by broken relationships - of all kinds. Fake Will's funeral has brought the Byers boys' dad home and it does not end well. He clashes with Jonathan, he's utterly horrible to Joyce and could not come across more unlikeable if he tried. But this thread is echoed throughout the episode. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad We see the trio of Mike, Lucas and Dustin start to fracture and seemingly break at the end. Mike's closeness with Eleven starts to cause friction, culminating in a fight in which she uses her powers on Lucas, before fleeing. It also features some of the most striking imagery so far in the season as the horror vibes get dialled up again. Eleven stood in a pitch black space and sort of making contact with a Russian agent is a standout moment. But the climax of the episode is the one that struck me the most - with Jonathan and Nancy heading out into the woods, they stumble across a gate to the Upside Down. It is so gooey and grungy, the production design so visceral real it makes my skin crawl even thinking about it. Chapter 6: The Monster Barb and Nancy in Stranger Things ep 2 | Curtis Baker/Netflix Synopsis: A frantic Jonathan looks for Nancy in the darkness, but Steve's looking for her, too. Hopper and Joyce uncover the truth about the lab's experiments. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Lingering in the background of the show since the first moment of the first episode has been this feeling of murky government dealings and interference. Hawkins is home to a rather shady (to say the least) agency that is clearly involved in part in the disappearance of Will and the weird goings on in a small town in Indiana. Up until this episode it has been more like background flavour, sprinkled on top of the other stuff, but not exactly at the forefront. The focus has rightly been on the main core group of characters - the boys and Eleven, Joyce and Hopper, Nancy and Jonathan. However, this is the episode where the conspiracy story really starts to step out of the shadows. We see agents in vans watching our heroes, a woman in disguise tricking information out of the loveable AV Club teacher, and learn that maybe Eleven was stolen from her mother by said shady institute in Hawkins. At the time in 2016, conspiracy theories were not a mainstream concern and so including them in a sci-fi horror show makes total sense. But in 2025, the idea of an American government up to nefarious things at the expense of the citizens is not at all farfetched - have you seen the news lately? Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Unfortunately for the show (like The X-Files before it), this is one area that has not aged well through no fault of its own. Fortunately it is not the only focus of the episode, we see the fall out of the D&D groups fracturing. Lucas ends up going off alone in search of The Gate, while Mike and Dustin search for Eleven. This is also the first time that El's powers get to be wondrous - for lack of a better term. She uses them to rescue Mike after he's forced to jump from the top of the quarry by the bullies. In a moment that might be among the show's most memorable across all five of its seasons. It is something the show handles well, balancing a sense of wonder with the horror. If not for this touch of deftness, it could slip into the mistake of being unerringly bleak. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The final seconds of the episode with the government agents tooling up to hunt down Eleven at Mike's house, is a brilliant cliffhanger. It feels like one designed to leave you on the edge of your seat for a week. But can you resist hitting play straight away? Chapter Seven: The Bathtub Will Byers in The Upside Down in Stranger Things | Netflix Synopsis: Eleven struggles to reach Will, while Lucas warns that "the bad men are coming." Nancy and Jonathan show the police what Jonathan caught on camera. On this rewatch, it has surprised me how surprisingly plot-lite Stranger Things is - at least in the first season. Sure there is an override driving narrative which can be boiled down to: we need to find Will Byers. But when you zoom out, it doesn't feel like you are strapped to a freight train that is barrelling towards an end goal - hitting checkpoint after checkpoint until bam, end of the line. Instead, it has been very focused on the macro, on the character relationships and dynamics and dare I say 'vibes'. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It has been about building that feeling of small town dread, that something horrific is bubbling under the surface. Establishing the friendship group and Eleven's role in it, bringing Nancy and Jonathan together. Hopper has been the 'busiest' of characters, but what has he done really? He snuck into the facility once - but it has been more about him finding a sense of purpose again. The events have been linked by how they impact the characters - the 'fight' between Mike and Lucas, leads to the government agents descending on his house at the start of this one. The Bathtub has the job of switching gears of taking the characters established through the previous six episodes and unite them with a common goal. It is still to rescue Will, but that is suddenly a less nebulous goal and more a concrete one: make a sensory deprivation tank so Eleven can search for him in the Upside Down. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad We have a cool chase scene, hints at revelations of feelings and the start of the Steve Harrington Good Boy arc (shout-out to the future MVP). But this all matters to us as a viewer because the show has spent the time making us care about the characters this is happening to. If my memory is not betraying me, I feel this superhero-esque team-up moment is something the show circles back to towards the end of each season. It works here as mentioned because of the previous focus on characters, but will that continue? One final thought, can we spend a moment on Mr and Mrs Wheeler - I've talked about how the show brilliantly balances lighter and darker tones and this is what I'm on about. The bit when the government agents turn up at their house is pure comedy gold. Sitcoms are full of the trope of the clueless husband and it is executed brilliantly here. I found myself cackling at every moment with Mr Wheeler in the episode. Chapter Eight: The Upside Down Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad David Harbour in Stranger Things | Netflix Synopsis: Dr. Brenner holds Hopper and Joyce for questioning while the boys wait with Eleven in the gym. Back at Will's, Nancy and Jonathan prepare for battle. In the years since Stranger Things came back for season two and beyond, it has been an often asked question about whether it should have ended after series one. Go out on a high as it were. Obviously, we probably won't fully know the answer until the show wraps up on its own terms after season five. For we will have the full picture and the complete story the Duffers wanted to tell. But heading into The Upside Down, it was a question I circled back round to. Does the season finale feel like a definitive conclusion? Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The episode itself does not feel like a full stop on the story, it leaves threads dangling in a way that we'd have looked back on as disappointing if it wasn't picked up. Where is Eleven, what is going on with Will and his flashes of the Upside Down now he is back? It could have ended here, but there is enough left dangling that it feels like the creators wanted to keep going. But what about the actual episode? Well, it is a season finale that is for sure. It is a fully plot focused and driven episode, we are at the end of the runway it is time for take off - in this case, rescuing Will and defeating the Demogorgon. For my tastes, I prefer episodes that are more about the characters first and foremost and not the action. However, this does have some brilliant moments of horror. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Eleven using her powers to melt the brains of half a dozen government agents is really chilling. It does feel like something out of a Stephen King book. I also found it deeply funny that Jonathan and Nancy's plan is to trap the Demogorgon and nearly burn down the Byers family home. It is the sort of idiotic, hairbrained scheme that normal people would come up with in such a scenario, a great touch. The episode also really cements that Steve Harrington is a character who belongs in this show. I had been surprised, given how he ends up in later seasons, how peripheral and sort of half-baked he had been for much of the season. He is basically the rich, not-quite-jock, cool guy in school, who is a bit vapid and kind of a jerk up until the final couple of episodes of the season. Once he waves goodbye to the moronic kids he hangs out with, in the penultimate episode, he starts to become something more. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Much had been made of his 'cowardliness' in the past, but it finally pays off here as he initially runs away before turning back and plays a pivotal role in trapping the Demogorgon. The scene in the Byers house also shows the limitation of the action scenes, at least this early in the show. It is really cool how the Christmas lights make a come-back for such a climatic moment, but it is very hard to follow the action - probably because CGI is expensive and this is a work around. While the final 'battle' in the school ends up similarly with flashing lights everywhere, to help obscure the monster in shadows. You can feel the big cinematic ambitions the show has had right from the very first scene of the season, but the limitations are reached in this finale. All in all it is a fitting end to the season and I enjoy how it brings a lot of things full circle. We get a scene of the boys playing D&D only this time the fireball spell works - for example. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It also makes me wish we'd got a fully Christmas set Stranger Things season, that would have been rad. But enough of my ramblings, what do you think? Should Stranger Things have ended with season one? Let me know by email: .

Netflix add sex scenes to racy TV remake of classic novel in huge change to story
Viewers are set for the sauciest scene ever featured in one of the book's many adaptations FULL STEAM AHEAD Netflix add sex scenes to racy TV remake of classic novel in huge change to story Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NETFLIX'S adaptation of Pride And Prejudice is already shaping up to be unconventional – and now I can reveal it's getting an extra injection of steam. The streamer's version of the Jane Austen novel — which has non-binary actress Emma Corrin leading the cast — has controversially left out the iconic wet-shirt moment made famous by Colin Firth in the 1995 BBC version but it has made up for it with something much raunchier. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 11 The Netflix version of Pride and Prejudice is set to feature Rhea Norwood Credit: Getty 11 She will be getting seriously amorous with fellow actor Louis Partridge Credit: Getty They will give us the sauciest scene ever featured in one of the book's many adaptations, and it stars hot young actors Rhea Norwood and Louis Partridge getting seriously amorous. A TV insider said: 'As regency dramas go, it's about as racy as things tend to get, and certainly much more heated than anything we've seen in any other Pride And Prejudice. 'Netflix is proud this is an authentic retelling of the story, so there's still a lot that's suggested rather than seen. But at the same time, they're retelling it for a new generation. Sexy sensibility 'Pride And Prejudice seems to get remade every ten or 20 years, but it always draws on the original story with a few extras in there.' As well as the 1995 TV version starring Firth, there was the 2005 movie starring Matthew Macfayden and Keira Knightley, which put its own spin on the story. In the Netflix one, Rhea plays Lydia Bennet, bringing a sexy sensibility that will not surprise anyone who saw her playing siren Sally Bowles in the West End show, Cabaret. She's the love interest of George Wickham, played by Louis, who's also tackled some racy roles in his time, including as punk legend Sid Vicious in the FX mini-series Pistol. He also happens to be dating singer Olivia Rodrigo. . . so she may need to avert her eyes when this scene appears on screen. THAT'S THE SPIRIT, GWENDOLINE GWENDOLINE CHRISTIE returns to Wednesday to haunt Jenna Ortega in the next thrilling part of the Netflix series. She's back from beyond the grave as Principal Weems, declaring she is Wednesday's new spirit guide.

She warns: 'We don't solve anything in this family with words, we do it with deeds.' Further teasers show dark spell battle, grisly goblin fights and a string of menacing moments. Joanna Lumley stars as Grandma Frump among other guests. Part two lands on Netflix on September 2 after rave reviews for the first. 11 Joanna Lumley stars as Grandma Frump Credit: Netflix 11 Joy Sunday will reprise her role as Bianca Barclay Credit: Netflix 11 Georgie Farmer returns as Ajax Petropolus Credit: Netflix SEAN TO DIET? NOTT AGAIN! 11 Sean Bean is set to play the Sheriff of Nottingham in the new ten-part Robin Hood series Credit: AP AS an actor who is fed up of playing characters who die prematurely, Sean Bean does pick surprising roles. Soon he will be appearing in the new ten-part Robin Hood series as the Sheriff of Nottingham – a character who traditionally meets a grisly end at the hands of the heroic outlaw. Debuting later this year on MGM+ the show sees Sean play the villain opposite Australian actor Jack Patten as Robin Hood. Sean's roles usually follow this path. In his last BBC One drama, This City Is Ours, he played a gangster who was murdered early in the series. Before that, he's taken on characters who've been hanged, shot with arrows, beheaded and even pushed off a cliff by marauding cows. I think Sean should embrace his reputation and next go for the holy trinity of Rasputin, JFK and Julius Caesar as his next roles. NEW TV BRINGS THE LOLS 11 Break Clause stars Lara Ricote and Samuel Bottomley Credit: Channel 4 GET ready to giggle as Channel 4 has unleashed a raft of comedy commissions. Break Clause stars Samuel Bottomley and Lara Ricote as a couple forced to navigate their break-up while stuck living in the same flat. Bridgerton star Charithra Chandran leads the cast of Schooled, a 'comedic love letter to teachers and school support staff'. And comic Josh Pugh has written and stars in Stepping Up, about a man trying to prove his worth as a stepdad. Pigeon is another flatshare comedy from Katy Wix and Adam Drake, about city girl Kathryn when she is forced to move back home to Wales. Katy said: 'I've wanted to make this show for so long. I can't wait to bring the characters to the screen.' All four are filming now. ALL THE WEST, JOSIE 11 Josie Gibson has landed her very own travel series Credit: Getty THIS Morning's Josie Gibson is following in the footsteps of her best pal, Alison Hammond – with her very own travel series. I can reveal she's starring in a show for ITV called Josie's Taste Of The West Country. In this new show, Gloucestershire gal Josie will head back to her old 'hood. The channel also recently announced that she was fronting a new series called Josie Gibson's Big Country Build and they see her as one of their rising stars. The new series is made by Rock Oyster Media, which is the same production company who gave us Alison's Florida Unpacked BBC Two series as well as Gary Barlow's Wine Tours in South Africa and Australia for ITV. As lovely-sounding as it is, by comparison, Josie might feel she's got the shorter end of the stick going to the West Country. PARAMOUNT+ has confirmed that the crime thriller Mayor Of Kingstown will return for a fourth series on October 26. In the new season, central character Mike, played by Jeremy Renner sees his control over Kingstown threatened, which forces him to tackle a mob war.
