Creator Miles Millar spoke to Netflix Tudum after the release of the Season 2 teaser trailer. The creator suggested that audiences should expect the unexpected, as not everything is as it seems.

“Nothing is what it seems in Season 2, Wednesday goes into this season thinking she knows Nevermore. It’s the first time she’s returned to a school willingly. But as soon as she gets back, nothing happens that she’s expecting. She thinks she’s going to be in control, that she knows where all the bodies are buried, and she doesn’t,” creator Miles Millar tells Tudum.
