Wednesday bosses hint at 'treacherous relationships' ahead of season 2
Wednesday season 2 is just weeks away and bosses have opened up on the new season Warning: May contain spoilers for Wednesday Season 2. Wednesday Season 2 will witness various relationships taking centre stage as producers reveal they "didn't want to disappoint" fans. The brand new series is merely weeks away, following an extended wait for devotees. It's been three years since Wednesday initially appeared on our screens and became a sensation with audiences globally. The debut series tracked Wednesday Addams (portrayed by Jenna Ortega) as she manoeuvred through her existence at Nevermore Academy, an institution for outcasts and misfits, reports the Express. From werewolves and vampires, to sirens and gorgons, the boarding establishment witnessed everything. Eventually, Wednesday adapted to her fresh circumstances, whilst becoming immersed in a huge mystery, having saved Nevermore Academy from significant dangers. And now, showrunners Miles Millar and Alfred Gough have revealed what supporters can anticipate for this latest instalment of the beloved programme, as they could be "more daring" and "have bigger scope". And fans will see more of certain relationships as they evolve on screen. Wednesday will need to "navigate a lot of relationships" as Miles Millar explained they will be: "Primarily with her mother and with Enid. She discovers that those relationships are treacherous and it's not easygoing. "It's always important for characters to have challenges in terms of those relationships, and that's what audiences really gravitate toward. The emotional heart of the show are those relationships." Viewers will witness the entire family at Nevermore this series, which creates additional tension for Wednesday as Millar continued: "And the mother-daughter relationship between Wednesday and Morticia is really the central relationship this season." As Wednesday's psychic visions alter throughout the programme, audiences will watch her battle to regain her abilities. Millar explained: "It becomes her goal (Wednesday) over the course of the season to recover her ability, and it brings her right into Morticia's orbit. "Morticia is desperately trying to help Wednesday recover her power, but Wednesday is resisting. We are always building conflict and putting the mother-daughter relationship front and center in the episodes." Morticia serves as chairwoman of the gala committee, so the entire family travels to Nevermore as producers acknowledged that "bringing the whole family to Nevermore felt like a no brainer." Audiences will witness that tension as Morticia tries to assist Wednesday. Catherine Zeta-Jones, who plays Morticia, also teased what viewers can anticipate with the mother-daughter pair as she revealed: "This season, what unfolds are these three dynamic relationships: Me with my daughter, me with my mother, and Wednesday and my mother. "I'm a little bit jealous of what unfolds in Wednesday's relationship with my mother, because when we're a little strained, she gravitates toward my mother, and she knows that would really annoy me."

'It's scary at moments': Creators say 'Wednesday' season 2 will bring real stakes and fear
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. If you thought 'Wednesday' was creepy and kooky before, season 2 is about to crank the horror up several notches. According to the show's creators, Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, the new season won't just flirt with spooky but dive headfirst into intense territory. When speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Millar said: 'There's some moments which are definitely horror movie-worthy. We have that in season 1, but I think this season there are moments that are very intense, I'll say.' He added: 'Season 2 definitely has some moments which are more straightforward horror, and we're very aware that the show is watched by everybody in terms of the age groups. 'We want to make sure that it's never torture porn, but that there's enough bite to it that it feels that there are real stakes and that people die in this world, and it's scary at moments. And I think that's the great tonal shift that the show makes between comedy and horror.' After getting an early glimpse of 'Wednesday' season 2 through the official trailer (which included the first six minutes of the premiere) fans were recently treated to even more footage thanks to a brand-new trailer from the streaming service. In a chilling moment, Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) has a premonition that her friend Enid (Emma Myers) is going to die, and that she'll be the one responsible. The creators also teased a shift toward a more 'complex mystery' in season 2, and it looks like Wednesday's unsettling premonition might be at the heart of it. Gough said: 'I also just feel like the world is bigger and you get to really explore other characters.' I'm genuinely glad this season is taking a darker turn as it just feels right for Wednesday. The blend of gothic horror and biting humor is what makes the Addams universe so iconic, and leaning further into the intense, eerie side of things only makes the world feel richer and more true to its roots. Ortega even said herself (h/t Vanity Fair): 'I think the feel that we're going for is a little bit more horror-inspired. Not to say that suddenly we're the goriest show of all time. I mean, there's six-year-olds watching. [For example], we're doing this thing now where Wednesday just kind of appears. She is a little bit of a jump scare herself.' "Wednesday" season 2 will be released on Netflix in two parts: Part 1 on August 6, and part 2 on September 3.

New Season of ‘Wednesday' Is Even Darker Than Before
With a name like 'Nevermore,' it's no wonder Wednesday Addams can never get a moment of peace at school. Netflix just unveiled a new trailer for the second season of Wednesday, the dark comedy series inspired by The Addams Family. Last season, Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) enrolled in Nevermore after a violent incident at her former school. There, she quickly becomes involved in investigating a series of murders committed by a monster who roams the woods surrounding the academy, only to uncover a nefarious plot connected to her family's dark past. This time, Wednesday returns to the academy as a celebrated hero (much to her annoyance). At first, the semester kicks off relatively calmly. But when Wednesday's psychic abilities start showing her dreams of her roommate, Enid Sinclair's (Emma Meyers) death—and it seems to be all her fault—Wednesday must face new and old foes alike to stop the tragedy before it's too late. 'Secrets are the bedrock of the Addams family,' Wednesday says in the trailer, as the dramatic main theme from the Phantom of the Opera musical plays over her narration. 'The sooner I get answers, the sooner I can save Enid… Or die trying.' Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, known for their work on Smallville and Tim Burton's Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the show sees the return of Luis Guzmán, Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Fred Armisen, and Hunter Doohan. There will also be new season regulars, including Anthony Michael Hall, Billie Piper, and Steve Buscemi. After nearly a three-year break, fans of the show couldn't be more thrilled for season two to finally premiere. And from the looks of the trailer, there is a lot to get excited about. Wednesday and Enid seem awfully 'close.' As one viewer pointed out, 'Wednesday's no longer fighting weirdo allegations but gay girl kisser wlw lesbian allegations.' Then, there is the whole, 'I will die trying to save you' thing. ''Enid dies and it's all my fault.' THE PAINN IN HER EYES OH WEDNESDAY,' an X user commented. Others are looking forward to the return of the older Addams family members, like the queen herself, Morticia Addams (Zeta-Jones). Part one will hit the streaming platform on Aug. 6, with part two arriving on Sep. 3, giving everyone the perfect 'spooky' start to the autumn season.
