Beyond that, the older titles that had already been revealed were 'If These Woes Could Talk', 'The Devil You Woe' and 'The Great Outwoes'.

The first teaser announcement for the show dropped earlier last month, which showed Ortega in her iconic, all-black 'Wednesday' ensemble, willingly going back to school at the Nevermore Academy . Fan reactions to the titles With regards to the new season, nothing has been revealed so far about the premise, and while the public is unaware of what's going to happen beyond what had already been shown in the teaser, speculations are still floating. Fans of the show have been analysing and making guesses about the show based upon the titles that have been revealed so far. One major speculation that has been making the rounds on the internet is that the last episode could be 'This Means Woe', as it may be a direct representation of the line 'This Means War'. Another speculation was that 'Woe Thyself' would probably mean 'Know Thyself', pointing to the fact that this episode may play an important role in the characters finding out more about themselves on the grounds of Nevermore Academy. More updates about the show Previously it was reported that two of the main cast members from the previous season will not be making an appearance this time. Actress Gwendoline Christie , who played the role of Principal Larissa Weems on the show, may not be returning, as her character passed away in season 1. In an interview with DigitalSpy however, the actress shared a comment regarding the matter, saying, 'We haven't seen her put in the ground, have we? I feel like Larissa Weems would not really be prepared to entertain or be dominated by anything as commonplace as death.' Another actor that will not be joining this year's cast is Percy Hynes, who will officially not be returning to the new season. As confirmed by Deadline, the actor was allegedly removed from the cast list after sexual assault allegations against him started making rounds online.
