First Look at Wednesday Season 2: Jenna Ortega Faces Off Against a Familiar Foe

2 months ago | 5 Views

At present, Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) is preoccupied and unable to evoke tears. She is visiting her nemesis Tyler, portrayed by Hunter Doohan, at the asylum where he is confined. A recent teaser for Season 2, unveiled during the Next on Netflix event, serves as evidence: this haunting preview offers a glimpse into the thrilling new episodes set to premiere in 2025.

More formidable challenges lie ahead for Wednesday.

As stated by showrunners and executive producers Al Gough and Miles Millar, this season presents Wednesday with increasingly intricate and darker obstacles as she navigates relationships with friends and family, uncovers new secrets, and confronts old adversaries, all of which will lead her into another year at Nevermore.

Wednesday will make its return featuring both beloved characters and captivating new additions, despite the series primarily focusing on Nevermore Academy's leading teenage investigator. A recent featurette from Geeked Week 2024 showcased cast members Luis Guzmán (Gomez Addams), Catherine Zeta-Jones (Morticia Addams), Joy Sunday (Bianca Barclay), and Emma Myers (Enid Sinclair), along with director and executive producer Tim Burton.

A more expansive and twisted season

The clip begins with Zeta-Jones asserting that this upcoming season promises to be larger and more twisted than anyone could anticipate, while the cast and crew of Nevermore Academy are seen actively engaged on set.

Zeta-Jones echoes the sentiments of executive producers Gough and Millar, who have expressed their enthusiasm for the introduction of a diverse array of new characters and their eagerness to explore further aspects of the Addams Family legacy.

In 2025, Wednesday will return to Nevermore Academy for its second season.

Ongoing mystery and darkness

As Wednesday Addams continues her education at Nevermore Academy, the series will persist in chronicling her supernatural escapades. Showrunners Gough and Millar hint that Season 2 will maintain a delightfully dark, quirky, and enigmatic atmosphere. They remain tight-lipped about specific details, as revealing too much could lead to dire consequences for them.

An announcement video for Season 2 of Wednesday disclosed that the series was renewed in January 2023, promising further challenges ahead. The master detective, Wednesday, would undoubtedly prefer this scenario.

In February 2023, Ortega shared with Tudum that Wednesday remains steadfast in her convictions and does not seek validation from others. This characteristic is one that she deeply admires, particularly in someone who is adept at pleasing those around them.

Jenna Ortega's appreciation for Wednesday

Ortega has not only come to value her portrayal of Wednesday, the only daughter of the Addams family, but this sentiment is echoed by many others. The series garnered twelve nominations for the Primetime Emmy Awards in July 2023.

In Season 2, Ortega will take on the dual role of star and producer, portraying an outcast who also works as a detective and mystery author. The returning cast includes Myers (Enid Sinclair), Sunday (Bianca Barclay), Moosa Mostafa (Eugene), Georgie Farmer (Ajax), and Dorobantu, alongside Ortega.

Returning and new cast members

The cast has expanded to feature Zeta-Jones, Guzmán, Isaac Ordonez, Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo, and Ritchie Santiago in regular roles. Additionally, Fred Armisen (Uncle Fester) and Jamie McShane (Sheriff Donovan Galpin) will appear in cameo roles.

With the introduction of several new series regulars, including Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, and Noah Taylor, the universe of Wednesday is set to expand in Season 2.

Christopher Lloyd, who plays Gomez in The Addams Family, Joanna Lumley, Thandiwe Newton, Frances O'Connor, Haley Joel Osment, Heather Matarazzo, and Joonas Suotamo are among the new guest actors who will be appearing.
