The Wednesday Season 2 Trailer Features A Musical Easter Egg, And It Might Be Hinting At A Potential Plot Point

The Wednesday season 2 trailer teases bad news for Wednesday Addams’s (Jenna Ortega) charming and cheerful roommate Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers), and there’s an interesting and thought-provoking musical Easter egg, too. Part one of the second season will arrive on Netflix on August 3rd, 2025, which is almost three years after season 1’s November 2022 premiere. Thankfully, fans won’t have to miss Nevermore Academy for too long as part two will be released on September 6th.

Wednesday season 2 has a lot of exciting elements, from new talented actors joining the cast to the beautiful filming location of Ireland. The teaser trailer showed Wednesday at the airport, which brings up the question of why she’s there. The new trailer also has a compelling Easter egg that suggests a thrilling plotline.

Wednesday Season 2’s Trailer Features The Phantom Of The Opera Music, Which Could Hint At A Stalker Storyline

The Wednesday season 2 trailer features another dance scene and also uses The Phantom of the Opera theme song. While the beloved theme from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 1986 musical fits the dark yet whimsical tone of the hit Netflix series, this music could also suggest that Wednesday’s stalker will be a big part of the second season. The Phantom of the Opera novel and musical are about a man who becomes obsessed with singer Christine Daae.

Jenna Ortega’s character’s stalker is first introduced in the Wednesday season 1 finale when the school shuts down temporarily after the wild events of the first semester. Wednesday is en route to the Addams Family mansion when she gets a strange text message. The stalker could be a relative, acquaintance, peer, or friend, or the Kansas City Scalper could be spying on Wednesday. Either scenario would work, and this is sure to be a memorable and exciting plotline.

Since the Wednesday season 2 trailer shows Wednesday having a terrible vision of Enid dying, the stalker could be Enid’s killer, or someone who is collaborating with them. It’s also possible that the stalker has nothing to do with this storyline and is operating completely independently. It could be new principal Barry Dort (Steve Buscemi), a teacher, or a classmate of Wednesday’s. Maybe an Addams Family member, like Grandmama (Joanna Lumley), is playing a prank on Wednesday, and they don’t mean any harm.

Wednesday and The Phantom of the Opera have similar tones as both stories are dark, whimsical, quirky, and compelling. Since fans expect the second season to be more horrifying than the first, it makes sense to use the musical’s theme in the trailer. It will be interesting to see if the theme is used in the actual show or if it was a one-off. It could definitely play in the background of an important scene, whether Wednesday is facing the Kansas City Scalper or she has figured out the identity of her stalker.

The Wednesday Season 2 Trailer Suggests Two Main Plotlines

A lot is going on in the new Wednesday season 2 trailer, from Wednesday Addams’s big return to Nevermore Academy to the scary, creepy journey that she embarks on. Fans got another look at Haley Joel Osment’s villain, the Kansas City Scalper, a serial killer who goes after Wednesday.

From this new footage, it’s clear that Wednesday season 2 has two main storylines: Wednesday will go on a quest to save Enid Sinclair’s life, and she’ll also have to fight to survive the Kansas City Scalper’s killing spree. It will be interesting to see how these plotlines fit together, and while fans can assume that Wednesday will be able to save Enid, chances are there will be some terrifying roadblocks along the way.
