The cast of the Netflix hit series Wednesday dropped a major spoiler for the upcoming part two of the second season, while on a promotional visit to Sydney.
Jenna Ortega was joined by her co-star Emma Myers for the event, held on Sydney’s Cockatoo Island.
Also on hand was Hollywood director Tim Burton, who also serves as executive producer for the cult series.
But the heart-stopping moment came when Gwendoline Christie emerged from behind a moon backdrop.
Gwendoline announced to the shocked crowd that her villain character, Nevermore Academy headmistress Larissa Weems, would be back from the dead in the second part of season two.
‘Did you really think Nevermore would let me go so easily! I was never gone. You just stopped looking,’ Gwendoline told the audience while in character.

Meanwhile, Jenna, 22, wowed onlookers in a daring ensemble which featured a hairy black and white overcoat, a matching shirt, and lace-up high boots.
Sporting her signature ‘Goth’ look for the event, held on Cockatoo Island, Jenna wore her long dark locks out in a ‘messy’ chic style.
‘It’s such an honour,’ Jenna said about the role, which has brought her global attention.
‘Oftentimes, you don’t get to revisit your character, so to be able to do it with someone like Wednesday. I feel very, very lucky.’
During the promotional event, Burton, 66, revealed how closely he identified with the character of Wednesday, who has her origins in The Addams Family cartoons from the 1930s.
‘I love the character,’ the director of Beetlejuice and Ed Wood said.
‘I agree with everything she says, everything she feels about family, school, psychiatry and society, so that’s why we’re here in this beautiful place. It’s something I really identify with.’
Also at the launch were Wednesday’s creators and showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar.
Wednesday dropped on Netflix with four episodes on August 6, while part II of the series will premiere on September 3.
It comes after Jenna was living up to her Gothic character as she went for a quick wade at Bondi Beach on Wednesday.

The star, who flew into Sydney this week, stopped by the iconic seaside location on Wednesday and couldn’t resist a dip.
Dropping by in between promotional duties for the hit Netflix series, Jenna was clad head-to-toe in black leather – but that didn’t stop her from experiencing the ocean.
Jenna slipped off her boots but kept on her long, leather trench coat and her sunglasses on as she took advantage of the sunny weather and soaked her feet.
The Hollywood actress is Down Under for the opening of a fan festival in Sydney.
The first four episodes of Wednesday’s second season debuted to critical acclaim at the beginning of the month.
The show, a spin-off from hit comic series The Addams Family, made headlines in 2022 after its first season nabbed the number one most popular English-language TV title ever on Netflix, according to Variety.
The second season is predicted to achieve similar success after it amassed over 50 million views in its first five days of streaming on the platform.
It has been announced that not only will Wednesday be back for a third series, but a spin-off show is currently under discussion, according to Hollywood Reporter.
