Wednesday Season 2: “Westworld” star joins the cast – A new friend or enemy of the Addams Family?

• The Netflix hit “Wednesday” is getting a second season.
• Unlike season 1, filming takes place in Ireland.
• Now a new actress has been introduced for the new season.

“Wednesday”, the series about the eponymous, cynical and sometimes murderous offspring of the popular Addams Family, has become a real Netflix mega-hit. Months after the start of the first season, the mystery comedy series produced by Tim Burton was still breaking all records.

At the beginning of January 2023, the wait for the announcement of a sequel was finally over when Netflix officially confirmed “Wednesday” season 2. But spin-offs could also be waiting for us soon.

Wednesday: Start

Work on the second season of “Wednesday” is in full swing. However, Netflix has not yet announced a more precise release date for the new episodes. However, due to the scriptwriters’ and actors’ strikes in 2023, it was not possible to work on the new episodes for a long time.

The US magazine Deadline now claims to have learned that filming should start in Ireland at the end of April 2024. Since filming Season 1 took seven months and then post-production takes time, we believe that season 2 of “Wednesday” will probably not appear on Netflix until the beginning of 2025.

Wednesday: Trailer

So far there is no trailer for season 2 “Wednesday”. But as part of the Tudum fan event in June 2023, a video was released in which Jenna Ortega (Wednesday Addams), Emma Myers (Enid Sinclair), Joy Sunday (Bianca Barclay) and Hunter Doohan (Tyler Galpin) shared some theories about the upcoming season set up.

The first theory has to do with Joseph Crackston’s ring, which he lost after his death in Season 1. Who could have picked this up? The second theory addresses the question of whether Wednesday is the new mistress of Hyde. There is also a theory surrounding Larissa Weems, because she is said not to have died at all.

Last but not least, the cast of “Wednesday” ask themselves the question of all questions: Will we see a new member of the Addams Family in the new episodes? The answer is: Yes, but no one is telling us who it will be yet.

Wednesday: Action

Although there are no concrete clues about a possible plot for season 2, the end of “Wednesday” season 1 left some questions unanswered. Although it was shown how Tyler was taken into police custody and transported away, we also saw him transform into his Hyde form in the police car.

Of course, this could mean that the chains that bind him to the prisoner transport are broken and he escapes. Could he still play a role in Wednesday’s life in the future? And will he come back as a friend or an enemy?

Likewise, Ms. Thornhill’s fate remains unclear after the final episode. Will she return in Season 2 with another murderous plan? The “Morning Song” cult, which has been mentioned several times, could also turn out to be a further danger. After all, Biancas has recently not only been tireless in recruiting new members, but also in bringing her daughter back.

Things could also get exciting between Xavier and Wednesday. After Wednesday overcomes her initial reservations and suspicions about Xavier towards the end, the two could perhaps even get closer in a sequel and possibly become a couple.

And of course there’s the cell phone that Xavier sent to Wednesday from Xavier in the last episode. On her way home to the sweet home of the Addams family, she receives ominous and quite disturbing news. It seems like Wednesday should be wary of a stalker now. But what does this mysterious person want from Addams’ daughter? This mystery and more could be possible plots that will be picked up in Season 2 of “Wednesday.”

Additionally, costume designer Colleen Atwood revealed in an interview with US magazine Variety that we will see Morticia in her “home clothes,” so it seems confirmed that we will see the home of the Addams Family.

Series creators Al Gough and Miles Millar have also hinted that we will see more Addams Family members and that the relationship between Wednesday and her mother Morticia will be brought more to the forefront. Jenna Ortega, who is also a producer on Season 2, has hinted that the new episodes will be more horror than teen romance (via Deadline).iuk

Wednesday Season 2: Cast

There is no solid information about the cast of season 2 of “Wednesday” yet, but it is quite possible that some familiar faces from season 1 will return. What is certain is that we will see Jenna Ortega again as the eponymous Wednesday.

Victor Dorobant as the ice-cold hand, Emma Myers as Enid, Percy Hynes White as Xavier Thorpe, Luis Guzmán as Gomaz Addams, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams and Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester are also expected to be there .

Christina Ricci’s devious Ms. Thornhill could also appear again, as her evil plans were foiled in Season 1. Maybe she could try again in season 2? Similarly, Hunter Doohan is not yet completely written off in his role as Tyler/murdering Hyde, as his final scene suggests.

The return of Gwendoline Christie in her role as school principal Larissa Weems is also not ruled out. Although she was murdered by Laurel Gates at the end of the first season, there is definitely the possibility of resurrection in the “Addams” universe, which is why you should never be completely sure.

In an interview with Digital Spy, Christie hinted at her return, saying, “We didn’t see her buried, did we?”

Newly confirmed for the second season of “Wednesday” is Steve Buscemi (“Miracle Workers”). Nothing is known about the actor’s role, but it is quite possible that he will turn out to be a member of the Addams family. “Westworld” star Thandiwe Newton is also new to the cast of season 2. Nothing is known about her role either.

Megastar Lady Gaga is also fueling the rumor mill to be part of the new season. The “Joker 2” star released a video shortly after the launch of “Wednesday” in which she imitated the Addams offspring’s iconic dance.

A sign that she wants to be in season 2? The iconic dance that Jenna Ortega performed as Wednesday Addams in the fourth episode (“With Sorrow and Drink”) basically went viral on the Internet.

Wednesday Season 2: Production

Season 2 will see Alfred Gough and Miles Miller head production again. Tim Burton will also direct and executive produce the series again. Lead actress Jenna Ortega also serves as a producer. Additional producers of the sequel include Steve Stark, Andrew Mittman, Kevin Miserocchi, Kayla Alpert, Jonathan Glickman, Gail Berman, Tommy Harper and Kevin Lafferty.

While filming for Season 1 took place in Romania, production for Season 2 moves entirely to Ireland. Filming is scheduled to start at the end of April 2024.
