Actor Steve Buscemi has joined the cast of “Wednesday” season 2 which will stream on Netflix.
As confirmed by Variety, the exact character details are being kept under wraps, but sources claim Buscemi will play the new principal of Nevermore Academy.
However, representatives for Netflix and Buscemi declined to comment. He is a highly-celebrated actor, known for his ability to take on drama and comedy roles in equal measure. He has starred in films like ‘Reservoir Dogs’, ‘Fargo’, ‘The Death of Stalin’, and numerous Adam Sandler productions.
He is an eight-time Emmy nominee, including multiple nods for “Boardwalk Empire” and for starring in and directing “The Sopranos.” He won the Emmy for best short-form variety series in 2016 for ‘Park Bench with Steve Buscemi’.
Wednesday originally debuted in November 2022 and instantly became a massive hit for Netflix. Few details are available about the new season of ‘Wednesday’, aside from the fact Jenna Ortega will return as the titular Addams Family daughter going through her teenage years.
The first season ended with Wednesday successfully solving a series of grisly murders while also thwarting an attempt to destroy Nevermore and its students. Work on Season 2 was delayed due to the writers’ and actors’ strikes that shut down much of Hollywood in 2023, though production is expected to begin in late April in Ireland.
