Principal Dort, the new Nevermore Academy head puts his stamp on the place in a new Wednesday season 2 promo. 

Building on their recent reveal of the first six minutes from the season opener, Netflix have followed up with a Nevermore Academy advert.

This time, the institution’s new head makes no bones about his predecessor’s failings…

The polar opposite of the late Larissa Weems, Principal Dort will advocate for normie exclusion in his mission to “save” Nevermore.

Speaking to Netflix’s Tudum, Co-creators/Co-showrunners Millar and Gough explain that Dort will bring “outcast pride” to the school.

Miles Millar said:

“Steve Buscemi is such an amazing actor, and he plays a principal who is incredibly into Nevermore. He wears purple, branded baseball caps, he’s basically Mr. Nevermore — and the opposite of the late Principal Weems, who was so put-together and chic.”

There’s more on the new faces at Nevermore Academy in this recent character guide on Tudum.

They include Billie Piper as Nevermore’s Head of Music, Isadora Capri, and Christopher Lloyd as Professor Orloff. Plus, Joanna Lumley playing Wednesday’s Grandmama Hester Frump.

We’ll keep you posted on Wednesday season 2 and the goings on at Nevermore Academy. Part I arrives on August 6th, and Part II follows on September 3rd, 2025.
