Netflix Releases ‘Wednesday’ Season 2 Preview Featuring Haley Joel Osment as Serial Killer

Netflix unveiled the first six minutes of Wednesday Season 2 during its Tudum 2025 fan event, introducing Haley Joel Osment as the chilling new antagonist, the Kansas City Scalper. The season continues to follow Wednesday Addams, played by Jenna Ortega, as she navigates new supernatural mysteries, old adversaries, and dark challenges at Nevermore Academy, with the story promising an even darker tone than the first season. The clip reveals Wednesday captured in the serial killer's basement, using her psychic abilities to free herself and fight back. Alongside returning cast members such as Emma Myers, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Luis Guzmán, Season 2 adds notable new faces including Steve Buscemi, Joanna Lumley as Grandmama, and Lady Gaga in a mysterious role. Season 2 will be released in two parts, with the initial episodes premiering in August and the remainder in September, continuing the blend of horror, humor, and gothic style that made the first season Netflix's most-watched TV season. Show creators have indicated the new season will contain moments that are more intense and horror movie-worthy, elevating the eerie atmosphere fans expect.
