SPOILERS are forward for Wednesday Season 2, Half 2. For those who haven’t seen the most recent trailer and don’t need any hints about it, wait to learn this!
I feel Wednesday is without doubt one of the greatest exhibits you’ll be able to watch together with your Netflix subscription proper now, so when Season 2 was amongst 2025 TV premieres early this month, I used to be prepared on day one to get again to Nevermore Academy with Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams. Whereas watching the primary 4 episodes, I turned shortly invested within the new thriller (that has already led me to a concept about Woman Gaga’s upcoming debut). However, I’m fairly aggravated that the sequence determined to spoil one improvement earlier than Half 2 comes out on September 3, and for multiple cause.
It Was Revealed That Principal Weems Is Again In Season 2
Shortly after ending Half 1, I got here throughout the official trailer for Wednesday Season 2 Half 2 on YouTube not realizing it might embrace a significant spoiler. However, likelihood is I’d see it anyway contemplating it was additionally splashed throughout social media. The spoiler I’m speaking about is the return of Gwendoline Christie’s Principal Weems, who died final season.
Whereas I’m very a lot excited that the actress has returned for Season 2, and Ortega has since stated the present made a “horrible mistake” within the first place in killing her off. How nice of a shock, although, would which were to expertise this reveal once we watch the present on the premiere date in simply a few weeks? I’m bummed the trailer spoils the enjoyable leap scare of Wednesday waking as much as Weems in a nurse costume explaining to her that she’s her new spirit information!
Why The Return Of Weems Doesn’t Make Sense To Me
Talking of Weems being her new spirit information, that brings me to the opposite drawback I’ve with this reveal. Aren’t the spirit guides presupposed to be from the identical bloodline? Final time I checked, Principal Weems isn’t a part of the Addams household, so this plot level truthfully doesn’t make any sense, except for the present itself eager to convey again the character.
I had wished that Ophelia is likely to be the spirit information (if she’s lifeless), however I feel many indicators level to her being alive. I additionally like the thought of Wednesday assembly different members of her ancestry via these spirit guides, however right here we’re getting Weems as a substitute. I feel it additionally sort of undercuts the work Steve Buscemi is doing as the brand new principal, who I’m very suspicious of and need to see play as massive of a job in Half 2 as we did in Half 1.
All in all, I’m certain I’ll discover enjoyment out of the return of Principal Weems, and I think about that there are much more surprises on the way in which we all know nothing about, I simply don’t assume Wednesday wanted to provide this away. They’re already doing wonderful advertising in any other case, and I’m actually digging them splitting up the season, truly. It simply didn’t really feel like we wanted to have this current opened earlier than we dive into Half 2.
