Contains major spoilers for Wednesday season two
Wednesday season two part one has just dropped on Netflix and we may or may not have binged the first four hours in one sitting. And oh my god, we were not prepared for that major cliffhanger of an ending.
The new season reunites us with the Addams family, led by Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) as she returns for a second year at outcast school Nevermore Academy. As the term progresses she unmasks her stalker, fights to save Enid's (Emma Myers) life, loses her psychic powers, and investigates a terrible scheme going on at local psychiatric hospital Willow Hill.
And as episode four wraps up, we see Wednesday and Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen) discover a secret bunker in Willow Hill called LOIS that has housed a number of outcasts believed to be dead, but instead they've actually been experimented on.
As Wednesday and Uncle Fester release them, Tyler the Hyde (Hunter Doohan) is also released and goes on a rampage to find Wednesday.
The episode ends with Tyler attacking Wednesday and throwing her out of a window, leaving her for dead. So is she dead? Here's everything we know, ahead of the second drop of episodes in September.
Is Wednesday really dead in Wednesday season 2?
As the episode ends it seems that Wednesday really is close to death. Tyler has left her with significant injuries and quite literally threw her out of a window.
She then gives a voiceover essentially confirming her death, where she says: "I've always dreamed of looking death in the face. But in my final moments, all I hear is my mother's words ringing in my ears. Maybe I have made things worse. Much worse."
However, the show is literally called Wednesday and has already been renewed for a third season, so from a practical point of view it makes zero sense to kill the character Wednesday off.
And in the plot, there's an ambulance on the way and we know her family has access to all kinds of powers that are likely to put a stop to death. We've also seen Wednesday overcome some pretty serious injuries in the past, so we have no doubt she's likely to make a full recovery.
The last time this happened was due to Wednesday's spirit guide Goody saving her after she was stabbed by Miss Thornhill (Christina Ricci). However, Goody sacrificed herself at the end of season one and so Wednesday doesn't have a new spirit guide. Maybe this is the time for someone from beyond the grave to come and save her?
We wouldn't be surprised though if we do get an episode told from Wednesday's point of view where she's temporarily exploring the underworld.
Either way, we're 98% sure Wednesday is still alive. We'll find out for sure on 3rd September when the second batch of episodes drop.
