Media reports suggest that Wednesday Season 2 on Netflix will be released in September next year. However, the streaming platform has not yet confirmed an official release date for the show, which focuses on the iconic character Wednesday Addams.
Filming for the second season is set to wrap up by the 20th of this month. But fans will still have to wait about a year before they can stream Wednesday Season 2. The delay in production was mainly due to the Hollywood strikes in 2023, which affected many TV shows and movies.
What’s New for Season 2?
Jenna Ortega, who plays the lead role of Wednesday, is also taking on a producer role this season. She has teased that the second season will have a “darker tone,” and a recent behind-the-scenes teaser seems to support this, hinting at an even more eerie atmosphere around Wednesday Addams.
The Cast:
Ortega will return to her iconic role as Wednesday, a role that fans can’t imagine being played by anyone else. This season, however, will also feature a new group of talented actors. Some of the stars joining the cast include Joanna Lumley, Billie Piper, Christopher Lloyd, Thandiwe Newton, and Steve Buscemi.
Although Ortega was initially nervous about returning to her role after several years, she quickly settled back into the character once she put on the costume. The departure of Percy Hynes White, who played Wednesday’s almost-love interest, has raised questions about how the dynamics will change in Season 2. Despite this, Ortega remains positive about the introduction of new characters.
Some of the newcomers include Joanna Lumley as Grandmama, and Billie Piper as Capri, a new regular character. Other new faces include Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, and Noah Taylor, with guest stars like Thandiwe Newton and Haley Joel Osment also making appearances.
What’s the Plot?
The plot of Season 2 is being kept secret, but Ortega has suggested that the new season will be more horror-inspired. The show might incorporate elements from classic tales like The Masque of the Red Death, adding to the eerie vibe of the series.
There are also rumors about a potential Uncle Fester spinoff, as Netflix looks to expand the Addams Family universe. Although details are still scarce, early discussions indicate exciting plans for the future of the franchise.
