Rejoice, "Wednesday" fans! More Nevermore soon awaits! After unveiling its first four episodes earlier this month, on Aug. 6, the final four episodes will wrap up the darker and more twisted "Wednesday" season 2 on Sept. 3.

Today, Netflix gave fans of the Addams Family spinoff a first look at how those last chapters will wrap up this season's mystery — and also explain if (spoiler alert!) Jenna Ortega's Wednesday is still alive after that brutal confrontation with Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan) in the part 1 finale — with a fresh new part 2 trailer.

This new trailer sees a recuperating Wednesday Addams waking up in the hospital post-attack, only to find that her bedside nurse is none other than Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie), the shapeshifting former principal of Nevermore Academy, who dramatically announced her return during an "Outcast Assembly" fan event in Sydney today.

So is Weems truly back from the dead? After all, viewers might remember that her character was poisoned by Christina Ricci's Marilyn Thornhill in the season 1 finale.

Not quite — rather, she's back to act as Wednesday's spirit guide, aiding the titular teen detective as she navigates another round of Big Bads (Tyler is still on the loose and he's after her and BFF Enid), familial drama ("Every family has dark chapters, Wednesday," assures Morticia) and more supernatural chaos. "If you don't hurry, you'll have nothing left to save," Weems can be heard warning Wednesday in the clip.

At the end of an action-packed series of racing motorcycles, magical explosions and monstrous encounters, a character can be heard via voiceover. 'Beware,' the mysterious voice warns. 'There will be a price to pay.'

But Christie's return isn't the only major casting news teased in the new two-minute video. At the end of an action-packed series of racing motorcycles, magical explosions and monstrous encounters, a character can be heard via voiceover. “Beware," the mysterious voice warns. "There will be a price to pay.”

That voice sounds like none other than Lady Gaga, who we already know has been announced by the streaming service to appear in the horror-mystery show's sophomore season. We also know that the Grammy winner will be playing Rosaline Rotwood, "a legendary Nevermore teacher who crosses paths with Wednesday."

Mother Monster memorably revealed her involvement in the Netflix hit during the big Tudum event this past May, which saw the singer perform a medley of her tracks "Zombieboy," "Bloody Mary" and "Abracadabra," mixed with the iconic Addams Family theme.

We'll have to wait to see exactly how Lady Gaga's character interacts with the inhabitants of Nevermore Academy and the larger Addams Family universe when "Wednesday" season 2 part 2 debuts on Netflix on September 3. Tom's Guide will keep you posted on all things related to the final batch of season 2 episodes, including character details, new teaser clips, plot points and more.
