GRAVE danger!

JENNA ORTEGA on her mysterious and spooky return to Nevermore

- REBECCA MAHONEY

Everyone's favourite terror-loving teen sharpens her wit – and a few knives – to darken the gothic halls of Nevermore Academy once again, as Netflix's hit Addams Family spin-off Wednesday returns for a sinister second season. Click, click!

From director Tim Burton, the new eight-part run catches up with part-time detective Wednesday Addams (played by Beetlejuice Beetlejuice star Jenna Ortega) after a productive summer spent with creepy dolls and a serial killer.

But following her monster-slaying heroics in Season 1, Wednesday is now somewhat of a celebrity. She despises the attention, of course, especially when her psychic visions reveal a grisly future for her roommate Enid Sinclair (A Good Girl's Guide to Murder's Emma Myers).

What's more, younger brother Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez) is enrolling at Nevermore, and their parents, Morticia (Prodigal Son's Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Gomez (Narcos' Luis Guzmán), move on to campus.

Adding to the mayhem this time are Absolutely Fabulous star Dame Joanna Lumley, playing Morticia's eccentric mother, Grandmama Hester Frump, while Boardwalk Empire actor Steve Buscemi is Nevermore's latest principal, Barry Dort, and Doctor Who favourite Billie Piper is the new head of music, Isadora Capri.
