Fans have had what seems like an almost endless wait since the first season of Wednesday debuted in 2022, but finally Jenna Ortega is back for the show's second season this year - and we now have a release date!

The highly-anticipated season will be released in two parts, with the first aptly released on Wednesday 6th August. It will be followed up with a second drop on Wednesday 3rd September.
But that wasn't all Netflix provided either, with a brand new full-length trailer also being released, offering a look at not only Ortega's return, but also those of key supporting characters such as Luis Guzmán and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Meanwhile, it also gives us glimpses of some new characters, with the likes of Steve Buscemi and Joanna Lumley appearing in their new roles.

The trailer teases some spooky goings-on, too, with a creepy doll made from human hair and a stand-off between Wednesday and an ogre-like monster - everything you'd expect from the newest Addams Family show.
Netflix first revealed the trailer's release date one day before it dropped, along with a poster revealing taglines "The wait has been torture" and "The suffering ends. The chaos begins."
Ortega previously teased that there's a frame in season 2 which reminds her of Full Metal Jacket, calling it "insane" and "so bizarre" while hyping up the season's visuals.
The actor also teased "a whole episode based off of slashers", and said the team make "a lot of horror references" in the new episodes.
"Everything about it, I feel like we kind of had a little bit more trust," she teased, "and therefore, we felt like we could do bigger, more elaborate sequences, which is nice."
