What Will ‘Wednesday’ Season 2 Be About?
In season 1, Wednesday saved her new school, Nevermore Academy, from a villainous plot. She also ended up becoming reluctant best friends with her peppy werewolf roommate Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers) and gained a new understanding with her mother, Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones).

According to Netflix’s Tudum website, the larger Addams Family will be taking on an expanded role at Nevermore in season 2, with Morticia accepting a philanthropic role at the school and Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez) becoming a student. But things at Nevermore will be changing after the murder of its former principal (Gwendoline Christie) and the arrival of a new principal who seeks to entirely separate the school’s population of supernaturally powered “Outcasts” from the local “Normies.”
Additionally, the trailer for season 2 shows that Wednesday will experience a psychic vision predicting Enid’s death — and will seek a way to stop it.
