Makers of the Emmy-winning Netflix series Wednesday dropped a quirky video of Thing making a portrait of Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams on a typewriter, teasing the release announcement of the second season.

“A portrait of Wednesday Addams. By Thing,” the streamer wrote on X alongside the video.

Returning members of the cast also include Joy Sunday (Bianca), Catherine Zeta-Jones (Morticia), Emma Myers (Enid), Hunter Doohan (Tyler), Moosa Mostafa (Eugene), Luis Guzmán (Gomez), Georgie Farmer (Ajax) and Isaac Ordonez (Pugsley).

Directed by Tim Burton, Wednesday premiered on November 23, 2022, offering a fresh twist on The Addams Family franchise. It showed Ortega’s Wednesday, a goth-loving girl, trying to hone her psychic abilities as a new student at Nevermore Academy.

Actors Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Joanna Lumley and Thandiwe Newton, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter and Noah Taylor are set to join the new season of the supernatural comedy-drama.

Wednesday Season 1 had ended with Hyde (Doohan) still alive and Wednesday receiving threatening phone calls and texts from an unknown number. The second season will reportedly take off from this juncture.
