Reports suggest that Wednesday, season 2, on Netflix, will likely premiere in September of next year, though Netflix has not confirmed an official release date yet. Filming is expected to conclude by the 20th of this month, but fans may still have to wait a year due to delays from the 2023 Hollywood strikes, which affected many productions.
What’s New for Season 2?
Jenna Ortega, who stars as Wednesday, is also becoming a producer this season. She hinted at a “darker tone” for Season 2, with behind-the-scenes footage hinting at an even spookier vibe for Wednesday Addams.
Returning and New Cast Members
Ortega will return as Wednesday, and new cast members include Joanna Lumley as Grandmama, Billie Piper as a regular character named Capri, and others like Christopher Lloyd, Thandiwe Newton, and Steve Buscemi. Percy Hynes White, who played Wednesday’s almost-love interest, will not return, potentially shifting character dynamics. Ortega expressed excitement about the new additions to the cast.
Plot and Theme
While plot details remain wrapped, Ortega mentioned that Season 2 will embrace more horror elements. Classic horror stories like The Masque of the Red Death might inspire the season’s eerie tone.
Future of the Addams Family Universe
Rumors are swirling about a possible Uncle Fester spinoff, with Netflix considering expanding the Addams Family universe. While nothing is confirmed, early discussions suggest there could be more exciting developments for fans in the future.
