Until now, we only knew that Jenna Ortega's protagonist would not only return to Nevermore, but also need to solve another hair-raising supernatural mystery. As the above teaser confirms, it'll center around Emma Myers' Enid Sinclair, whose life is in grave danger unless Wednesday can use her psychic abilities and detective skills to stop Enid from being murdered by something or someone.

Wednesday season 2's latest trailer arrives exactly one month before it makes its debut on the world's best streaming service.

Like many of Netflix's most-watched TV Originals, it'll launch in two parts, with volume 1, which comprises four episodes, releasing on August 6. The final four chapters, aka season 2 part 2, will air on September 3. Funnily enough, both dates fall on a Wednesday. It's almost as if Netflix planned this...
