She’s creepy and she’s kooky, and she’s about to be back on screens.

Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday both charmed and alarmed viewers during the Netflix series’ first season, which premiered back in 2022. Yes, it’s been almost three years since Jenna, Christina Ricci, Fred Armisen, Luis Gúzman and Catherine Zeta-Jones helped bring to life the Addams family for this generation.

It’s natural, then, if before season two drops on Wednesday (duh), August 6, you find yourself asking, “Wait, what even happened in season one?”

Never fear, the official recap is here: This is everything you need to know before we return to Nevermore Academy, school for “outcasts.”

First, let us lay our scene. Wednesday comes to Nevermore—her parents Morticia and Gomez’s alma mater—heels dragging, though she is far too proud to be kicking and screaming. And while it takes her some time to warm up to the traditions, her werewolf roommate Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers) and fellow beekeeper Eugene Ottinger (Moosa Mostafa) begin to pull her out of her shell, albeit begrudgingly.

That, and circumstances don’t seem so bleak while talking to local barista and “normie” Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doonan).
