The stars of Netflix’s hit series “Wednesday” have descended on Sydney to promote Season 2, with a major announcement that has sent shockwaves through the fanbase. Director Tim Burton, star Jenna Ortega, and actress Gwendoline Christie gathered at an exclusive event on Cockatoo Island to reveal that Nevermore Academy headmistress Larissa Weems will be brought back from the dead in Season 2.
Weems’ character was a major part of Season 1, but tragically died after being poisoned by Laurel Gates. However, according to Christie, Weems’ spirit has not truly left her body, and she’s been waiting for fans to “stop looking” at her. This revelation raises questions about the nature of mortality and what it means to be brought back from the dead.
The event was part of the Doom Tour, a global fan experience that includes haunted houses and immersive experiences. The final stop in Sydney also featured a world-exclusive announcement about Season 2: Part 2.
Fans can look forward to more of Wednesday’s sharp wit and detective skills as she delves into a new supernatural mystery. Despite the long wait between Seasons 1 and 2, viewership numbers show that Netflix subscribers are still hooked on the series.
“Wednesday” Season 2: Part 2 will be available on September 3, offering fans another chance to catch up with their favorite characters.
