The official Netflix Twitter account confirmed the good news with a very simple announcement. "It’s official: Wednesday Season 2 is coming!!" it said, alongside a black heart emoji.

Little Monsters will also be pleased to hear that the sped-up version of Lady Gaga's iconic spooky single 'Bloody Mary' is featured in the new trailer, which includes footage of fans across the world dressed up as Wednesday.

And there are a lot of Wednesday admirers out there. Last month, Wednesday surpassed Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story for the number of hours-watched on Netflix.

The Scream actor already shared her hopes for season two, a mere few days before Netflix made it official.

"I kind of want her to be darker," she said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. "I want her to get more in the nitty-gritty of things and not play things so safe.

"Because there are a lot of lines about her saving the school and doing whatever, but for me, her main drive with the monster is of a competitiveness. Kind of, ‘Man, how’s this guy doing this?’"

"I think I want it to continue down an antihero stream rather than a typical hero."
