The Season 3 trailer unveils Enid Sinclair’s shocking return to human form, but the price of her freedom might be Wednesday’s soul. One haunting choice could doom their bond—or unleash a darker Enid. Will she rise or break? Howl at the moon and dive into the teaser that’s got fans feral. Can Enid be saved? 👉
In the moonlit shadows of Nevermore Academy, where outcasts wrestle with their inner monsters, Netflix’s Wednesday has spun a gothic tapestry that thrives on the tension between loyalty and legacy. With Season 2’s split-release finale—where Enid Sinclair’s werewolf transformation spiraled into a near-fatal frenzy and Wednesday Addams’ psychic visions cracked open a cursed vault—still clawing at fans’ hearts, the first Season 3 trailer has unleashed a howl-worthy revelation: Enid (Emma Myers) sheds her wolf form, reclaiming her human self in a ritual that could either save Nevermore or doom her bond with Wednesday (Jenna Ortega). Dropped on Tudum amid a storm of fan theories, the 80-second teaser, drenched in Tim Burton’s macabre magic, has surged to 23 million views in 48 hours, igniting X and TikTok with debates: Is Enid’s return a triumph over her curse, or the prelude to a darker, deadlier transformation?
The trailer, scored to a haunting remix of Billie Eilish’s “Bury a Friend” warped with lupine growls, opens in Nevermore’s frost-rimed Black Lake forest, where Enid—fur matted, eyes glowing gold—collapses in a moonlit clearing, her claws retracting as her body convulses back to human flesh. Wednesday, gripping a blood-streaked raven’s gaze amulet, kneels beside her, intoning, “The curse breaks, but the cost binds.” A voice—Grandmama Frump’s (Joanna Lumley), sharp as a witch’s blade—hisses, “One soul freed, another chained.” Flashes erupt: Enid, now human in her pastel sweater, staggering through Nevermore’s Great Hall as students whisper “traitor”; Wednesday dodging a spectral wolf’s jaws in a crypt ritual gone rogue; Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) shattering a seance chalice, her eyes flashing with dread; and Gomez (Luis Guzmán) wielding a rapier against a shadowy pack alpha. The clip peaks on Enid, human but haunted, staring into a cracked mirror as her reflection flickers back to wolf form, snarling, “I’m not free—I’m hers.” Burton’s Tudum tease? “Enid’s back, but the wolf never leaves. Wednesday’s fight just got feral.”
Wednesday, since its 2022 debut as Netflix’s YA horror juggernaut, has racked up 1.2 billion hours viewed, with Ortega’s deadpan Addams heir redefining Charles Addams’ cartoon icon as a psychic sleuth. Season 1’s Hyde hunt and viral “Goo Goo Muck” dance sparked global fever; Season 2, split into Parts 1 (August 6, 2025) and 2 (September 3, 2025), upped the stakes: Wednesday’s visions unlocked a “raven’s eclipse” prophecy, Enid’s alpha-wolf arc clashed with pack purges, and a body-swap gala (cued to Lady Gaga’s “Bloody Mary”) flipped loyalties. The finale saw Enid’s transformation spiral—her wolf form clawing Wednesday free from a buried vault, only to collapse under a curse tied to Nevermore’s 1791 founding. “Enid’s wolf was her strength, but also her cage,” Myers told Variety post-finale. “Season 3’s about what happens when the cage breaks—but the beast lingers.”
The trailer’s ritual scene—Enid’s reversion in a circle of black candles under an eclipsed moon—suggests a blood pact to break her curse, possibly linked to the “raven’s eclipse” that threatens outcast existence. Grandmama Frump, introduced in Season 2 as Morticia’s potion-peddling mother and now Nevermore’s principal (Joanna Lumley’s cackling debut), seems to orchestrate the rite, her “chained soul” warning hinting at a price: Wednesday’s psychic essence, or Enid’s loyalty. Flashes of Enid’s mirror—her human face warping to wolf—imply the curse isn’t fully lifted, perhaps tethering her to a spectral pack or Grandmama’s will. X lit up post-drop, with #EnidHumanAgain trending at 2.3 million posts: “Enid’s back but that mirror? She’s still cursed—Wednesday’s in deep!” (@NevermoreHowl, 130K likes). Reddit’s r/Wednesday speculates the ritual’s cost echoes Gothic tropes like Dracula’s blood bonds, with threads positing Enid as “Wednesday’s Hyde—a friend turned foe” (30K upvotes).
Myers, 23 and glowing from A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, anchors Enid’s arc with raw vulnerability. “That reversion scene? We shot it at 3 a.m. in a Romanian forest, freezing, with fake blood everywhere,” she told Tudum. “Enid’s human again, but it’s like she’s lost her armor—she’s fragile, and that scares her more than fangs.” Ortega, whose chemistry with Myers fuels the show’s platonic heart, teased to EW: “Enid’s return flips everything—Wednesday’s used to saving, not being saved. It’s messy, and we loved leaning into that fracture.” Lumley’s Grandmama, a witchy wildcard, looms large: Her trailer cackle—unveiling the “Coven Compact” to bind outcasts—suggests she’s leveraging Enid’s cure to control Wednesday. “Joanna’s like a storm in silk,” Ortega laughed. “Her Grandmama makes you love her, then fear her.”
Season 3, greenlit pre-Season 2 and wrapped in Romania’s Carpathian wilds in August, spans 10 episodes for an October 2026 premiere. Filming leaned into Ireland’s Wicklow for Grandmama’s manor—a potion-packed pile where wolves prowl—and Bucharest’s caves for Nevermore’s “Eclipse Vault,” a relic-strewn labyrinth. The arc dives into the curse’s roots: A 1791 Addams-Frump pact, per leaks, tied Nevermore’s founding to a blood debt, now demanding Wednesday’s life or Enid’s soul. Subplots simmer: Gomez’s fencing duels unearth Frump family scandals; Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez) brews hexes that backfire into pranks; and Thing orchestrates a crypt heist to steal Grandmama’s grimoire. “Enid’s return isn’t a win—it’s a warning,” Gough told Parade. “The curse rewrites who she is, and Wednesday’s the collateral.”
The ensemble amps the angst. Zeta-Jones’ Morticia, clashing with Grandmama over “family feuds,” channels seance sorcery to counter the curse; Guzmán’s Gomez fumbles fatherly fixes, his rapier tangling with pack enforcers. Joy Sunday’s Bianca, siren strategist, rallies outcasts against Grandmama’s oaths, while Hunter Doohan’s Tyler, post-Hyde, grapples with a normie spy (Haley Joel Osment) sniffing the vault. Guests dazzle: Steve Buscemi’s petrified Principal Dort haunts as a gargoyle gag; Billie Piper’s vampire matriarch may ally with Grandmama; and Lady Gaga’s Rosaline Rotwood, Season 2’s psychic spark, recurs in visions, her “The Dead Dance” scoring a ritual where Enid’s human scream battles her wolf’s howl. “Enid’s my heart,” Myers told THR. “But this season? Her heart’s a battlefield—Wednesday’s right in the crosshairs.”
Production’s Burtonian brew—$250 million across Seasons 2-3—leans into practical sets: Nevermore’s vault glows with cursed runes, while Colleen Atwood’s costumes (Enid’s pastel-to-leather shift, Wednesday’s raven-cloaked armor) evoke Poe-meets-Vivienne Westwood. Danny Elfman’s score, spiked with Gaga’s warped cuts, twists wolf howls into cello dirges, teasing a finale where Enid’s mirror cracks under eclipse light. Burton, directing half the season, called it “a werewolf waltz with Wednesday’s tempo—friendship’s the real curse.”
Reception’s rabid. Season 2’s 96% Rotten Tomatoes (“darker, wilder, wickedly witty,” per consensus) and 6.2 million premiere viewers sealed the trilogy. The trailer torched X: #EnidHumanAgain hit 2.7 million posts, TikToks syncing her mirror scare to Taylor Swift’s “Anti-Hero” racking 10 million views. THR praises “Myers’ raw rebirth against Ortega’s icy resolve,” Variety flags “overstuffed curse arcs,” but audiences howl: 98% score. Purists grumble—“Enid’s wolf was her soul!” (IMDb, 9K reviews)—but metrics roar: Tudum comments beg for “Enid spin-off!”
The trailer’s subtext, rooted in Gothic lit, resonates: Enid’s curse mirrors Frankenstein’s monster torn between selves, while real-world echoes—2025’s mental health debates on identity—add depth. Gough and Millar, consulting Addams archives, ground the ritual in Charles’ werewolf sketches: A Frump hex gone feral. “Enid’s return is her rebirth, but rebirths scar,” Millar told THR. “Wednesday’s fighting for her, but at what cost?”
As Wednesday howls toward its third moon, Enid’s human return is no salve—it’s a spark in a powder keg. With Grandmama’s curse tightening and Nevermore’s eclipse looming, Wednesday faces a foe fiercer than death: her best friend’s fractured soul. In Burton’s grim ballet, one truth claws through: Freedom’s a cage when love’s the lock. Will Enid rise human, or fall feral? The pack’s calling—Nevermore answers in blood.
