‘Wednesday' Season 2 Trailer Teases Jenna Ortega Attempting to Save Emma Myers or 'Die Trying'
Jenna Ortega's Wednesday Addams may hate being celebrated as the hero after saving Nevermore Academy in season one, but that doesn't mean she won't 'die trying' to save her best friend in season two.
While it may be the first time Wednesday has 'ever willingly returned to a school,' as Morticia Addams (Catherine Zeta-Jones) points out in the newly released trailer for season two of Netflix's Wednesday, Ortega's character has her reasons. Wednesday actually likens her return to Nevermore to 'returning to the scene of the crime,' because 'I already know where the bodies are buried.'

However, there's one body she doesn't want to bury this season: her best friend Enid (Emma Myers). 'Enid dies and it's all my fault,' Wednesday teases in the season two, part one, trailer (below) after her mother asks what she saw after seeing the black tears running down Wednesday's face.
Though 'secrets are the bedrock of the Addams family,' Ortega's Wednesday acknowledges in the footage, she also knows, 'The sooner I get answers, the sooner I can save Enid. Or die trying.'
'Wednesday Addams, returns to prowl the Gothic halls of Nevermore Academy, where fresh foes and woes await. This season, Wednesday must navigate family, friends and old adversaries, propelling her into another year of delightfully dark and kooky mayhem. Armed with her signature razor-sharp wit and deadpan charm, Wednesday is also plunged into a new bone-chilling supernatural mystery,' the season two logline reads.
Steve Buscemi, Joy Sunday, Luis Guzmán, Hunter Doohan, Billie Piper, Isaac Ordonez, Victor Dorobantu, Georgie Farmer, Moosa Mostafa, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, Noah Taylor and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo round out the cast. Creator/showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar also returned for season two of Wednesday, alongside executive producer and director Tim Burton.
Part one premieres Aug. 6 with part two dropping Sept. 3. Watch the trailer below, and check out new photos from the upcoming season.
