Netflix has released a fun behind-the-scenes preview of Wednesday Season 2, teasing that the creepy, kooky chaos is about to reach new heights. Jenna Ortega returns as the captivating Wednesday Addams, expressing her excitement:
“She's one of the coolest characters of all time. So to slip into the costume and tone again, it's just so much fun.”
This season, the Addams family gets more screen time, and the stakes at Nevermore Academy are higher than ever. Director Tim Burton is back at the helm, sharing his love for working with the talented cast. Co-showrunner Alfred Gough hints at a deeper exploration of Addams lore, noting that there isn’t much existing lore to draw from, so they’re expanding it. Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) now wields a fencing foil, and Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez) enrolls at Nevermore — sharing a school with his sister and facing new challenges.
Wednesday sets clear ground rules for her brother:
“No eye contact without permission,” she says, “and Thing reports to me.”
Gough teases Pugsley’s journey as being one of an outcast among outcasts, with Isaac delivering a heartfelt performance. Miles Millar promises expanded character arcs and exploration of Nevermore’s world. Hunter Doohan assures fans that the series’ tone remains intact but has been amped up. The official synopsis reveals that Wednesday will face new foes and supernatural mysteries while navigating her dark world. The season will be split into two parts: Part 1 premieres August 6, followed by Part 2 on September 3.
