Sometimes, television shows opt to switch up the tone of a show drastically from season to season, and that suits it. However, that's not the case with Wednesday, as the show has such a distinct atmosphere that audiences didn't want to see the series divert from that with the second season, and it appears that it won't. Netflix has released the trailer, which gives audiences a glimpse at the mysterious and creepy atmosphere that can be expected from the show's new season. The trailer didn't give too much away for what people will see when Jenna Ortega returns as the iconic Wednesday Addams, but it reveals just enough to give a clear indication that Wednesday is going to deliver once again.

Wednesday will be returning to the Nevermore Academy for the second season of the show, with Steve Buscemi joining the cast as the brand new headmaster. There were enough teases about where the plot might go to hook audiences without blatantly spelling out what is going to happen, which is the key to any good trailer. The fact that the Wednesday trailer was viewed over three million times in less than 24 hours is a positive sign of people's interest and that the trailer is delivering in getting people talking and excited about what is to come.

Wednesday Season 2 Promises To Be Hilarious

The Series Is Known For Its Dark Humor

When people look at clips of anything to do with the Addams family, they might instantly think that it's going to be a full-on horror project. However, the beauty of these characters is that they deliver humor to ensure that there's a great balance for audiences. The first season of Wednesday continued that trajectory, and the trailer for the new season of Wednesday proves that is going to continue. Straight away, Wednesday is shown casually trying to take knuckle dusters, knives, and a variety of other weapons through airport security, while Thing wants to have some sun cream to ensure that he doesn't get burnt. It's a great scene that sums up every aspect of what made the show so successful, taking dark moments and making light of them so that the show is accessible to a wider audience.

That tone is continued throughout the trailer, with the dialogue highlighted and Ortega's dry delivery leading to some funny moments. The series continues to provide humor even when the story is developing and becoming more serious is important because audiences don't just want everything to be dramatic with Wednesday. While it is far from being a comedy series, the first season was packed with lots of dry humor that had audiences laughing, and people will be pleased to see that it is being carried over this time.

Wednesday Season 2 Will Still Deliver Om The Fear Factor

Audiences Expect to Be Scared

While there are going to be elements of humor littered throughout Wednesday, the season two trailer has also proved that there will be plenty of scary moments as well. It's supposed to be a dark show by its very nature, and this is what people are anticipating heading into it. Netflix has more than delivered on that front. From the creepy version of 'My Favorite Things' played out in the background of the trailer to the eerie locations that are shown, it's obvious that this show will try to scare people at times.

There are some extremely creepy dolls that are shown, with Wednesday bragging that they're using real hair. The show teases the idea of dark secrets and murder, while some of the creatures shown look visually scary, too. The fact that Wednesday says, "You don't need to worry about me, mother, I do my best work in the dark," proves that the second season is ready to kick things up a notch when it comes to the darkness and scare factor, which is something that's likely going to excite a lot of people. Having the show be even scarier isn't a bad thing, and the trailer seems like it's going to be moving in that direction for Wednesday season two, developing the story even further.
