Back in 2022, the eight-episode feature following the mysterious adventures of Wednesday Addams in Nevermore Academy became Netflix’s most-watched original series ever, beating even the most hyped seasons of Stranger Things and Bridgerton.
Filming of the follow-up has just started in Ireland, and we can finally have a closer look at the second season’s cast changes. Luckily, Wednesday’s main star, the new scream queen Jenna Ortega, will reprise her already iconic role, despite her dropping out of another Netflix’s project, the animated series Jurassic World: Chaos Theory.
Wednesday Regulars: Who Returns in Season 2?
Firstly, we’ll have some characters elevated to the status of the show’s regulars. These include Catherine Zeta-Jones as Wednesday’s mother, Morticia, Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams, the father of the family, Isaac Ordonez as their son Pugsley, and also Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo as Ritchie Santiago, the deputy of the local police department.
Full List of Wednesday Season 2 Newcomers
Besides, there will be brand new regulars introduced in the series in Season 2. The cast is added by Billie Piper (Doctor Who, Scoop), Evie Templeton (Return to Silent Hill), Owen Painter (The Handmaid’s Tale) and Noah Taylor (Peaky Blinders, Park Avenue).
However, the most interesting newcomer to Wednesday’s world is the acclaimed Steve Buscemi (Pulp Fiction, The Big Lebowski), who is going to portray Barry Dort. His name never appears in the Addams family lore, but fans believe it will be the new principal of Nevermore Academy, replacing Gwendoline Christie ’s Larissa Weems.
The guest-star lineup reportedly includes Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future ), who played Uncle Fester in two of the Addams Family films in the 1990s, Joanna Lumley, Frances O’Connor, Joel Osment, Heather Matarazzo and Joonas Suotamo.
Percy Hynes White Controversy, Explained
As for the main loss of the original cast, we will no longer see Percy Hynes White in the role of the psychic student Xavier Thorpe. White’s exit from the show comes amid accusations of sexual assault in 2023. At the time, the fandom conducted a heavy social media campaign against Hynes’ return to the series.
“Percy Hynes White was the weakest part of the show, even if there wasn’t any controversy he should’ve been dropped for being a black hole of charisma,” suggests Redditor @Redfall_GOTY_Winner.
Whether it’s fair or not, Xavier was quite a curious character, and his fate is still unknown.
While no premiere date has been set yet, you can rewatch the first season of Wednesday, as it’s available for streaming on Netflix.
