Let's Dive Into the Story
Can you feel the chills of enchantment and mystery already? Netflix's spinoff series of the quirky and eerie Addams Family, titled ‘Wednesday' has been cooking up its second season in Ireland since May. Guess what, folks? Netflix just pulled back the curtain a bit and gave us a quick glimpse of what's going on behind the scenes, and it's no less than spellbinding!
Who's Leading the Show?
Let's talk directors. None other than the master of the fantastical and macabre, Mr. Tim Burton is back in the director's seat. He'll be taking charge of half of this upcoming season – that's four out of the eight episodes, just like he did in the first season.
Meet ‘Wednesday' and Her Gang
Of course, the title character Wednesday is played by the splendid Jenna Ortega. But rounding out the iconic Addams Family are Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley, and Luis Guzmán and Catherine Zeta-Jones as the lovable yet odd Gomez and Morticia, and let's not forget Fred Armisen who has breathed life into the eccentric Uncle Fester. Speaking of Uncle Fester, we've heard he might just be stepping into the spotlight with his own spin-off series. How exciting is that?
Introducing the New Faces
Besides the familiar cast members we've grown to love, we're welcoming a host of fresh faces in season 2. You'll notice that our newcomer list sounds like a who's who in Hollywood! We're thrilled at the additions of stars such as Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, and Noah Taylor. Plus, Christopher Lloyd, Joanna Lumley, Thandiwe Newton, Frances O'Connor, Haley Joel Osment, Heather Matarazzo, and Joonas Suotamo are all joining in the fun.
Keeping the Old and Meeting the New
Fret not, a number of season 1's beloved cast members will be returning in the new season. Remember Christina Ricci who played the botanical sciences teacher Marilyn Thornhill? She'll be back, along with others you might remember from the Nevermore Academy like Joy Sunday, Emma Myers, Hunter Doohan, Moosa Mostafa, and Georgie Farmer. Unfortunately, not everyone from the first season will return for the second, but we're confident the new additions will make it just as entertaining if not even more so!
