While any Wednesday fan is inevitably going to be excited about the show’s upcoming second season, there are plenty of reasons why this new installment is going to be great, including one specific trend that the series established during season 1. Wednesday season 2 was announced in January 2023, just two months after its initial release on Netflix, and now, the horror comedy series has a tentative release time of 2025. Little is known yet about the plot of season 2, however Netflix has recently released quite a bit of new information surrounding Wednesday season 2’s cast.
There are several aspects of Wednesday that helped make it so popular back when it first came out in November 2022. First and foremost, it is a series that harks back to a long-running and beloved franchise: The Addams Family. And though there have been many iterations of this spooky clan, Wednesday brought a totally new perspective by focusing on the family’s eldest daughter. Furthermore, Wednesday has always had quite an impressive team standing behind it. From Tim Burton to Catherine Zeta-Jones, the series has always had a variety of familiar faces, and huge stars, supporting it.
Wednesday Season 2’s New Cast Members Continue Season 1’s Exciting Trend
Wednesday has even more stars in season 2
Although not much is known about Wednesday season 2, there is some recent information about its cast that helps Wednesday keep one great season 1 tradition alive.
It was recently announced that Steve Buscemi and Thandiwe Newton would be joining the cast of Wednesday season 2.
Both of these actors are very well known, and certainly add a bit of star power to the show’s second season. Where Newton is best known for her roles in Westworld, Mission: Impossible 2, and Beloved, Buscemi has had quite a notable career, including projects like Reservoir Dogs and Fargo.
By adding Steven Buscemi and Thandiwe Newton to the cast, Wednesday season 2 is continuing one trend that helped make the first season so popular. Wednesday has always boasted big stars. Though its premise is intriguing and the show itself amazing, it would not be nearly as good without its iconic cast and crew. Jenna Ortega makes for an outstanding lead, alongside Catherine Zeta-Jones, Gwendolyn Christie, Christina Ricci, Luis Guzmán, and Fred Armisen. Though many of these actors are returning for season 2, bringing in more huge talent will only help Wednesday season 2 even more.
What To Expect From Wednesday Season 2’s New Characters
Buscemi and Newton’s roles explained
As of now, no information has been revealed about who Steve Buscemi and Thandiwe Newton will be playing in Wednesday season 2, however it is very easy to speculate. Notably, many have theorized that Steven Buscemi’s Wednesday character will be the next principal of Nevermore Academy following the death of Gwendolyn Christie’s Principal Weems. There is certainly nothing confirming this, but it would be a fun direction for the show to go. In the same vein, it is possible Thandiwe Newton will play a professor at Nevermore, and in particular, the one replacing Christina Ricci’s Marilyn Thornhill.
Regardless of their specific characters, Steve Buscemi and Thandiwe Newton will likely play notable adult roles in Wednesday. If they appear only briefly in the series, as Fred Armisen did as Uncle Fester in season 1, their characters will probably be quite important, despite their screen time. In this way, Steven Buscemi and Thandiwe Newton are likely going to be very important to Wednesday due to their levels of fame. It seems unlikely that Wednesday would hire them only for a cameo. In this way, the actors are likely to take on big roles at Nevermore or the surrounding community.
Wednesday’s Cast Is One Of The Show’s Biggest Strengths
The talent is outstanding
One of Wednesday’s biggest strengths is its cast. By including big stars like Jenna Ortega or Gwendolyn Christie, Wednesday pulls in audience members that, seeing their favorite actors, want to watch the show even more. Furthermore, with such a vast number of celebrities, Wednesday feels a bit like an event rather than a show, as audiences wait to see which huge star will come out next. And then, of course, there is the actual talent of the cast. These actors put everything into their performances, making Wednesday feel incredibly real and important, even when it is silly.
Overall, Wednesday season 2 seems to be on the right track. Though Netflix is staying pretty quiet about what audiences can expect, just their simple casting announcements hint at a very exciting second season. Wednesday will continue hiring some of the best stars in Hollywood to keep audiences intrigued and to make the story they are acting out even better. In the end, fans should be excited for Wednesday season 2.
