Netflix has released the trailer for Wednesday Season 2, Part 2, revealing that Gwendoline Christie is officially back as Principal Larissa Weems. The remaining four episodes premiere September 3, with Part 1 streaming now.
Watch the teaser below.
Principal Weems Returns as Wednesday’s Spirit Guide
Last seen dying from poison at the hands of Marilyn Thornhill (Christina Ricci) in Season 1, Weems reappears in the new trailer — but not among the living. Instead, she’s back as Wednesday’s spirit guide, offering supernatural counsel after Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) wakes from a coma following the Part 1 finale.
Enid (Emma Myers) can’t see Weems, who reveals herself only to Wednesday, guiding her as she faces Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan), glitching powers, and her mother Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) on campus.
Co-creators Miles Millar and Alfred Gough say they always planned to bring Christie back, with Millar calling the Wednesday–Weems relationship a fan favorite. Gough told Netflix’s Tudum, “Nobody in our world is truly dead dead.”
Christie on Playing a Different Weems
Christie describes this version of Weems as ethereal and more vulnerable. Her Season 2 wardrobe, designed by Colleen Atwood, shifts from Hitchcock’s The Birds inspiration to Vertigo, with softer tones, refined hair, and no signature red lipstick — a reflection of the sorrow and mystery tied to her ghostly state.
Season 2 Release Schedule
- Part 1: Four episodes streaming now on Netflix
- Part 2: Premieres September 3 with four new episodes
The trailer teases more supernatural intrigue as Wednesday’s fight against unseen threats continues — now with guidance from beyond the grave.
