Wednesday is back. And that alone shifts the mood. But in this new season 2 teaser, released on June 18, 2025, something lingers in the air. Hard to name. Those shots of Nevermore, kind of still, kind of heavy. Like something’s missing. And it is.
This time, the teaser doesn’t rely on punchy lines or the usual dark humor. It doesn’t need to. A hallway with no sound, students walking without looking at each other, a memorial tucked quietly into the main hall. There it is. The death of Principal Weems isn’t just acknowledged. It’s felt.
The new Wednesday teaser quietly addresses what season 1 left behind
It’s strange, sure, but it works. The clip is short, held back, almost reserved. But somehow, it speaks louder than the ones before. Maybe because it doesn’t try to dramatize anything. It just shows. A framed photo of the headmistress, a space made for remembering. That’s all. And that’s enough.
Maybe that’s when it all clicks. The choice not to say anything out loud, not to make it some big moment. Just let it sit in the background, in the set, in the silence. The hallways carry something now. Wednesday walks through them, but this time, the focus isn’t her. It’s what’s no longer there.
What stayed behind
What’s most striking is how her absence changes the tone of the entire school. Nevermore always felt offbeat, full of strange rules and even stranger people. But now there’s something else. A kind of disarray. Not chaos. Just… things slightly out of place.
Wednesday, of course, is still there. Still watching, still pacing, still reading the room behind narrowed eyes. But even she feels a little heavier. Like she knows this return to Nevermore isn’t really a return at all.
A thread from before
Season one was all about uncovering. The monster, the secrets, who was lying and who wasn’t. And in the middle of all that, Wednesday had to uncover pieces of herself too. She didn’t want to connect, but it happened. Slowly. Quietly. One of those connections was with the headmistress.
Weems wasn’t warm. Or soft. But she held the structure together. She understood things. Balanced chaos with control. Maybe that’s why her absence feels so loud now. She wasn’t meant to be the heart of the school, but somehow, she was the center that held everything.
When acting holds it all without saying much
There’s no big moment here. No breakdowns, no long stares or dramatic speeches. But there’s presence. Jenna Ortega keeps everything grounded with that same stillness. Wednesday walks, watches, breathes slower than usual. The school moves around her, but everyone seems to be holding something back.
And the rest of the cast adds to it in ways that aren’t obvious. Some avoid the loss. Some stop in place. Some move forward, but dragging their feet. It all mixes together, giving the school new weight. A strange kind of depth.
And where this might be going
It feels like this season might take a different path. Not just in story, but in tone. Less about spectacle, more about what sits underneath. The parts people carry but don’t say. Less about clues. More about what’s left unsaid.
Wednesday seems ready for that. Or maybe not ready, but open to it. Because there’s no way to return to the same place after it’s changed. And this time, the story doesn’t seem interested in pretending.
August’s not that far
The season drops in two parts. One in August. The next in September. A month in between. Enough to pause, reflect, maybe even rewatch season one with new eyes. Because now there’s something different. There’s weight. There’s aftermath.
This isn’t just another school year. It’s what comes after loss. That changes everything.
Not everything has to be said to be felt
In the end, this teaser doesn’t shout. It doesn’t push. It just sits. A school, a framed photo, a space surrounded by silence. And somewhere in the middle, a character who’s always understood death. But might now be starting to understand grief.
Trending
Wednesday doesn’t have to say she’s changed. She doesn’t have to show it. But something’s different. Just slightly. And that might be what makes it all more interesting.
Because what’s left behind isn’t just the absence of Weems. It’s the space she filled. And how everyone else will have to live with that now.
