Part one of Wednesday season two left the show’s morose heroine on a massive cliffhanger — and the new trailer for the season’s second part offers only more questions about what is to come for the Addams daughter.
In a trailer that dropped on Thursday (Aug. 14) for the forthcoming second half of the season, Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams wakes up in a hospital after being attacked by former classmate Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan), only to see her former, now-deceased principal Larissa Weems (played by Gwendoline Christie) appearing as her new “spirit guide.”
The remainder of the trailer shows Wednesday moving through Nevermore Academy and the local town of Jericho, hunting down Tyler and attempting to save both her family and friends from impending doom. As the plot thickens and the teenager encounters more and more of her family’s “dark chapter,” she is offered an eerily warning by a familiar-sounding voice: “Beware — there will be a price to pay.”
Fans immediately clocked the eerie voice as none other than Lady Gaga, who was announced as a cast member on season two back in November. Mother Monster memorably announced her arrival into the Wednesday universe at Netflix’s Tudum event in May, where she performed a rousing medley of her tracks “Zombieboy,” “Bloody Mary” and “Abracadabra,” where she was joined onstage by Ortega.
This won’t be the first time Gaga’s name is associated with the hit show. After the runaway success of season one, fans began making social media edits of Ortega’s titular character dancing to a sped-up version of Gaga’s Born This Way B-side “Bloody Mary.” The viral trend gave the song its debut on the Billboard Hot 100, where it spent 18 weeks, peaking at No. 41 in April 2023.
While the show didn’t offer further details regarding Gaga’s enigmatic character on the hit series, Billboard previously learned that the second part of season two will also coincide with a new song coming from Mother Monster. Entitled “Dead Dance,” the track is expected to drop in September alongside the final four episodes of the season.
Wednesday season two part two will arrive Sept. 3 on Netflix. Watch the new trailer below:
