Wednesday would never settle for anything less.
Actors Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Luis Guzmán, along with director Tim Burton, feature in the clip.

What is Wednesday Season 2 about?
The show will keep exploring the eerie enigmas of Wednesday Addams while she goes to Nevermore Academy. In January 2023, the renewal of Season 2 of Wednesday was announced with a promise of more “torture” in a video. Of course, Wednesday the super detective prefers it that way.
Ortega told Tudum in February 2023 that Wednesday remains steadfast and is not seeking to please anyone. “Being a former huge people pleaser, I greatly admire that.” Wednesday’s teenage interpretation of the Addams family’s daughter has also captivated others beside Ortega. The series received 12 Primetime Emmy Award nominations in July 2023.
