Actors Jenna Ortega, Luis Guzmán, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Emma Myers and Joy Sunday promise a “bigger and more twisted” Season 2 for Netflix series Wednesday in a behind-the-scenes video dropped by the streamer on Friday.
The video opens with Luis Guzmán, who plays Wednesday’s father in the show, as he welcomes fans with his catchphrase “Hello, my little storm cloud.” Subsequent scenes show Wednesday and Enid Sinclair’s room at Nevermore Academy, their common room and the school’s campus. “Let's play dolls,” Ortega’s cynical teenager can be heard telling someone. Catherine Zeta-Jones, who plays Addams family matriarch Morticia, promises a bigger and more twisted season. “If we showed you any more, your eyes would bleed, and I'm not that generous,” Ortega says at the end of the teaser.
Ortega is set to reprise her role as Wednesday Addams in the upcoming instalment. 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).
New additions to the cast for the upcoming season include Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Joanna Lumley and Thandiwe Newton. Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, Noah Taylor will also join the supernatural series. Guest stars include Joanna Lumley, Jamie McShane, Francis O’Connor, Haley Joel Osment, Heather Matarazzo, Joonas Suotamo, Fred Armisen and Christopher Lloyd.
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.
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.
