The highly anticipated Wednesday Season 2 is officially in production, and fans of the spooky teen detective are in for an eerie adventure. Filming began earlier this year in the scenic landscapes of Ireland, with Jenna Ortega reprising her role as the mysterious and unconventional Wednesday Addams. In a new Geeked Week 2024 trailer, fans got a glimpse of the haunting new journey that awaits Wednesday, along with returning characters like Emma Myers (Enid Sinclair), Joy Sunday (Bianca Barclay), and Wednesday’s iconic parents, Morticia Addams (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Gomez Addams (Luis Guzman).
Tim Burton returns as director and executive producer, with the promise of a “bigger and more twisted” season, according to Zeta-Jones. Co-creators Miles Millar and Al Gough have expressed their excitement about exploring Nevermore Academy’s macabre world in greater depth. Ortega, who has grown more connected to her character, continues to embody Wednesday’s unapologetically dark and quirky persona.
Season 2 will follow Wednesday as she juggles her paranormal studies and detective work, maintaining her characteristic disdain for convention. Fans can expect more “torture” and twisted humor as the series delves into deeper mysteries at Nevermore Academy.
The ensemble cast sees familiar faces like Moosa Mostafa (Eugene), Georgie Farmer (Ajax), and Victor Dorobantu (Thing). New additions to the cast include legends like Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, and Owen Painter, along with special guest stars such as Christopher Lloyd, Joanna Lumley, and Thandiwe Newton. The creators are thrilled to introduce these fresh faces and admired actors to the show.
The first episode of Season 2, titled “Here We Woe Again,” was written by Gough and Millar and directed by Tim Burton. With an exciting blend of new and returning talent, Wednesday’s second season promises to be an unforgettable continuation of the beloved show.
