Summary
While there are many solidNetflixseries that feature great acting and intriguing storylines, season 1 ofWednesday
captured a lot of attention upon its November 2022 release. Now thatseason 2 ofWednesdayis coming in 2025, fans are thinking about what trouble Jenna Ortega’s iconic character could get into next.
SinceJenna Ortega saidWednesdayseason 2 will have horror elements, fans are even more excited for what’s next. Now thattheWednesdayseason 2 cast has been announced, one problem from season 1 is going to be addressed: the fact that the Addams Family characters weren’t included enough. It seems that fans will see more of Wednesday’s parents, siblings, and uncle in the second season, along with another great family member.
Which Addams Family Characters Will Be In Wednesday Season 2?
Wednesdayseason 2 is solving a problem from season 1 becausethere will be one more Addams Family member and that Wednesday’s relatives will appear in much of the show. According toDeadline,another Addams Family relative was added to the cast ofWednesdayseason 2: Grandmama (played by Joanna Lumley). Fred Armisen is also coming back to play Uncle Fester. Both of these will be guest parts, so fans can expect to see them less than the other characters. But they will still hopefully be part of some funny and meaningful storylines that help show how dark and unique this family is. That is something that was missing from season 1.
Fans didn’t feel they saw enough of Wednesday’s immediate family in season 1. Thankfully, this problem will be solved inWednesdayseason 2. Isaac Ordonez, Luis Guzmán, and Catherine Zeta-Jones are returning as Pugsley Adams, Gomez Addams, and Morticia Addams. The good news is that these three actors will be regular cast members, which will make fans happy.
When looking back on theAddams Family portrayals in movies and on TV, many viewers felt that the Addams Family characters inWednesdayseason 1 felt too different. There was a lot of criticism of Wednesday in particular since she was part of a love triangle and was a little more compassionate than in the past. If the Addams Family members get more screentime, this hopefully means that there will be scenes ofWednesday’s usual dynamic with her family. Fans want to see Wednesday teasing Pugsley and making her parents proud with all her dark ideas.
Who Played Grandmama In The Addams Family Movies?
It’s alsoa smart idea to feature Grandmama, one of the most iconic and memorable Addams Family characters. She is known for making creepy cookies, coming up with spells, and generally terrorizing anyone she can. It would be fun to see Grandmama visit Wednesday at herunique boarding school Nevermoreand cause some chaos. It would also be great to see Wednesday go home and see her whole family.
Fans will also be glad to see Wednesday spending time with her quirky and strange Uncle Fester again. As Fred Armisen toldNetflix.com/Tudumabout playing the famous character:
“It’s everything that I love, spooky and funny at the same time.”
How Wednesday Season 1 Used The Addams Family Characters
It’s fair to say thatWednesdayseason 1 could have featured the Addams Family characters in more scenes. While Wednesday spends a bit of time with her parents Morticia and Gomez Adams, she’s mostly busy at Nevermoretrying to find the Hyde Monsterand learning more about her parents' history with the school.
While Uncle Fester shows up in the season 1 episode “If You Don’t Woe Me By Now,” he’s running away since he’s gotten into trouble. This storyline works since it proves his cheeky and rebellious personality but also shows that he can be charming. It’s also smart since it shows how similar Wednesday and her uncle are.HopefullyWednesdayseason 2 will include Uncle Fester and Wednesday investigating the new mysterytogetheras this would be entertaining to watch.
While Wednesday’s parents help her get settled at Nevermore inWednesdayseason 1,Wednesdayseason 2 needs to answer questionsand also include Morticia and Gomez Addams in more active roles. The actors did a great job playing their iconic characters and if they are given more to do, that would be more interesting. Gomez, in particular, is an impressive character because he’s hilarious and charming. As Luiz Guzmán said in an interview withE! News:
“I wasn’t looking to play Gomez as this goofy guy. But the words that these guys wrote were beautiful, almost poetic. But it wasfunny. When you convey that as an artist, it just comes across that way. They just had it right.”
