NOW ON NETFLIX Wednesday Season 2 Part 2: Lady Gaga storms into Nevermore and a beloved character makes a jaw-dropping return — leaving fans with one haunting warning: “Beware.”

Wednesday Season 2 Part 2 just raised the stakes, and the real chaos starts now.

Following that epic Wednesday season 2, part 1 cliffhanger involving the twisted, high-falling fate of Jenna Ortega’s character, viewers were left wondering whether the titular schoolgirl would survive — and Netflix’s just-released part 2 preview stands to fan the fatal flames of speculation even harder.

For starters, the trailer sees Wednesday Addams again coming face-to-face with Gwendoline Christie’s shapeshifter Larissa Weems, the principal of Nevermore Academy who hasn’t been seen since her character’s death in season 1.

At the start of the clip (below), Wednesday wakes up in a hospital bed, attached to monitors as a nurse works in the corner of the room. She turns around to reveal herself as Principal Weems, who quips, “Rise and shine, sleepyhead!”

“What part of hell is this?” Wednesday asks, with Weems telling her, “This isn’t hell, Ms. Addams. But, I understand the confusion.”

Wednesday further inquires, “If I’m not dead, then why are you here?” to which Weems ominously responds, “Because I am your new spirit guide. Surprise!”

The trailer then covers Wednesday’s attempt to thwart Tyler’s (Hunter Doohan) murderous plot, all while Weems offers advice over her shoulder — but remains unseen to those around her.

There’s also a fabulous dance scene between Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Gomez Addams (Luis Guzmán) that flashes on screen, before Wednesday engages in a bit of shotgun target practice with Grandmama Hester Frump (Absolutely Fabulous‘ Joanna Lumley).

“Every family has dark chapters,” Morticia stresses to her daughter as the clip rages on, with Weems giving a final piece of advice: “If you don’t hurry, you’ll have nothing left to save.”

Then, the preview closes with what Little Monsters will recognize as Gaga’s mysterious voice echoing over the footage, warning, “Beware. There will be a price to pay,” though her character isn’t explicitly shown in the clip.

After Entertainment Weekly broke the news last year that Gaga had joined the show for season 2, the streaming giant announced that she would play a character named Rosaline Rotwood, initially described as a teacher at Nevermore.

However, Ortega said in a follow-up interview with Entertainment Tonight that Gaga’s character is “not a teacher.”

Co-creator Alfred Gough previously told EW about the team’s approach to ending season 2, part 1 on such a big cliffhanger.

“We didn’t want to repeat ourselves, as second seasons are tricky things with a lot of shows, and we wanted to change up the mystery storytelling,” Gough said. “So the idea is that at the end of episode 4, literally all hell breaks loose. It propels you forward, but I don’t think you quite know where it’s going.”

Added Ortega: “It’s the first time, at least in the season, where Wednesday truly is out of her depth” following the death of returning actress Christina Ricci’s Thornhill during part 1’s finale as well.

In addition to her guest role on Wednesday, Gaga will also release the soundtrack song “Dead Dance” alongside the upcoming episodes, with its accompanying music video also directed by Wednesday executive producer Tim Burton.

Gaga joined Wednesday after the show’s fans edited her 2011 single “Bloody Mary” over music of a notable dancing scene from season 1, which subsequently went viral on TikTok in 2022. This caused the song — originally released on Gaga’s Born This Way album — to surge in popularity over a decade after its initial release.

Part 2 of Wednesday season 2 debuts Sept. 3 on Netflix. Watch the new preview above.
