Finally, after nearly three years of waiting, Netflix has dropped the teaser trailer for its highly anticipated web series, Wednesday season 2, and it’s packed with some surprises. Perhaps the biggest one? The second season will be split into two halves.
When initially released back in 2022, Wednesday became one of Netflix’s biggest hits, and now it is Netflix’s third most-watched TV title of all time. Its teaser is packed with new details, new faces, and just as much creepy charm that made the first season succeed, so let’s break it down.

The trailer brings us back to familiar faces from Nevermore Academy and teases some new developments we will see in the new season. Jenna Ortega returns as Wednesday with her goth style and abnormal family. Returning with her is her werewolf roommate and friend, Enid, and this season, Pugsley will be seen at Nevermore.
The trailer also shows us a glimpse of Tyler, who was left at the end of season 1 as the Hyde, is now in captivity, but the situation is still uncertain.
The show also adds a couple of new faces that viewers are already whispering about. Joanna Lumley is on board as Grandmama, a new spin on an old Addams Family staple we haven’t yet met in this show. And then there’s Steve Buscemi, whose identity is still kept secret.
There’s not a lot of official plot news so far, but all signs point to a bigger, darker mystery. Ortega has called the new season “bolder, darker,” and that’s already reflected in the trailer. The love triangles are over, and this season is all about the shadows, the secrets, and what happens in the dark.
Lady Gaga Steps into the Madness
One of the biggest surprises of the trailer is that Lady Gaga is making a cameo. It’s her first appearance on screen since Joker: Folie à Deux, and as Jenna Ortega explains to us, she’s not making the type of cameo people might expect:
“She’s great in the show, and I don’t think she’s what people want her to be.”
Gaga’s cameo also comes full circle from the season 1 viral fan edit when Wednesday’s dance scene was edited with her song “Bloody Mary.” Now, that moment comes full circle as Gaga enters the Wednesday universe. It’s also one of the reasons why Wednesday became so popular during the release.
Season 2 to Be Released in Two Parts with Impressive Release Dates
In contrast to season 1, which was dropped all episodes at once, season 2 will be dropped in two courses. The first four episodes of Season 2 will be released on August 6, 2025, and the last four on September 3, 2025. The two-part release allows the fans to digest the story more, and probably plants a gigantic mid-season cliffhanger to keep everyone buzzing.

We don’t know much about the episode titles or the exact plotlines yet, but the teaser does give us a glimpse of some spooky things, like the creepy dolls and cryptic scenes, setting the stage for the mystery that lies ahead.
The shift in release timeline is important as well. Season 1 dropped in November, during the tail end of spooky season. Season 2 picks up in late summer and finishes just as fall starts. Whether or not that impacts the show’s mood or its appeal is to be determined.
