In the two-minute trailer released on YouTube, Wednesday Addams returns to Nevermore Academy, where she experiences a psychic vision of her roommate's death, complete with her tombstone.

One of the show's most iconic moments is Wednesday's dance scene at the prom, which went viral. In June, Netflix Tudum 2025 confirmed that Lady Gaga is set to guest star in the upcoming season. "Wednesday" Season 2 drops on Netflix on August 6 (first part) and September 3 (second part). —Hermes Joy Tunac/JCB, GMA Integrated News

Netflix Tudum 2025: Did Bridgerton Season 4 or Queen Charlotte Season 2 feature during the event?
Fans tuning into Netflix Tudum 2025 , the streamer's global fan event held on May 31 at the packed Kia Forum in Los Angeles, were treated to a flurry of announcements and exclusive content. However, those eagerly awaiting updates on Bridgerton Season 4 were met with a surprising omission — the Regency-era favourite was notably absent from the main stage. Despite high-profile reveals for popular titles such as Stranger Things , Wednesday , Squid Game , and Knives Out: Wake Up Dead Man , the sprawling Bridgerton Cinematic Universe made only a brief appearance, and it came in the form of a low-key cameo by Queen Charlotte actor Corey Mylchreest, as mentioned in a report by Tom's Guide. No Main Stage Spotlight, But Season 4 Has Not Been Forgotten While Bridgerton Season 4 did not receive new footage or trailer reveals during Tudum itself, Netflix had already offered fans a first look at the upcoming season earlier in May during its annual Upfronts event for advertisers. At that presentation, a short teaser scene introduced viewers to Benedict Bridgerton , portrayed by Luke Thompson, encountering Sophie Baek, played by newcomer Yerin Ha, at an elegant masquerade ball. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Truque caseiro noturno eficaz contra a papada (faça hoje mesmo) Revista & Saúde Saiba Mais Undo This romantic moment sets the tone for the season, which is expected to closely follow Julia Quinn's An Offer From a Gentleman , the third book in the Bridgerton series, and Benedict's central love story. The early preview assures fans that while the show did not feature prominently at Tudum 2025, the series is progressing steadily behind the scenes.

Season 4 marks the midway point in the streamer's previously announced eight-season plan, which aims to chronicle the romantic journeys of each Bridgerton sibling. Live Events The show has been renewed through Season 6, cementing its long-term presence on the platform. With four siblings — Eloise, Francesca, Gregory, and Hyacinth — still waiting their turn in the spotlight, future seasons are expected to bring their stories to the forefront. Familiar Faces and New Arrivals In addition to Thompson and Ha, Bridgerton Season 4 will see the return of fan favourites including Jonathan Bailey, Nicola Coughlan, Claudia Jessie, Simone Ashley, and Golda Rosheuvel. New additions to the cast include Isabella Wei, Michelle Mao, and Katie Leung, who will portray members of Sophie Baek's stepfamily, adding new layers to the upcoming season's social and emotional landscape. Absence at Tudum Doesn't Dim Hype Although Bridgerton's main series was not showcased during Tudum's packed programming, fans can take heart in the teaser already unveiled this month.
