Mark your calendars and prepare to re-enter the halls of Nevermore Academy as Netflix’s dark coming-of-age hit, Wednesday, is returning with a second season this summer. The beloved Addams Family spinoff, which became one of the streaming giant’s most-watched shows ever, promises a darker, more thrilling chapter.

What to expect in ‘Wednesday’ Season 2

Netflix’s Tudum quoted creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar saying that the new season explores Wednesday’s increasingly complicated relationships, not just with friends and foes, but with her family too.

The Addams clan, in this latest season, is more involved than ever. Her younger brother Pugsley, according to Netflix, who is developing electrokinesis enrols at Nevermore. Morticia, Gomez and even Wednesday’s grandmama Hester Frump show up on campus.

She is joined by other familiar faces including Emma Myers as Enid, Joy Sunday as Bianca, Mossa Mostafa (Eugene), Georgie Farmer (Ajax), Hunter Doohan (Tyler) and Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley.

Catherina Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzman, and Fred Armisen return in their roles as well, with Joanna Lumley taking on Grandmama Hester Frump.
