Wednesday, a new television adaptation of The Addams Family by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, is based on the beloved character developed by Charles Addams. Wednesday Addams' quest to solve a murder mystery connected to her school, Nevermore Academy, was the focus of the first season.

Following Wednesday's valiant deeds that saved Nevermore, Season 2 begins, but instead of acclaim, she is greeted with awkward celebrity. When she has a terrifying vision in which she holds herself accountable for her flatmate Enid's (Emma Myers) death, things take a darker turn.

Part 1 of the upcoming second season will be available on August 6 and Part 2 will be streaming on Netflix from September 3. Season 3 details should become available after the second season concludes.

The core cast, including Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Isaac Ordonez, Fred Armisen, and Victor Dorobantu, will return to reprise their beloved roles in the continuation of this dark and wildly popular supernatural series.
