Production for Wednesday Season 2 is officially underway in Ireland, and Netflix has unveiled the chillingly delightful cast list.
Leading the charge once again is Jenna Ortega as the sardonic Wednesday Addams. She’ll be joined by a now-series-regular Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, the picture-perfect goth matriarch, and Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams, Wednesday’s enthusiastically dark father. Isaac Ordonez (Pugsley Addams) and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo (Deputy Ritchie) are also upped to series regulars this season.
The talented ensemble cast from Season 1 is returning as well. This includes Emma Myers (Enid Sinclair), Joy Sunday (Bianca Barclay), Hunter Doohan (Tyler Galpin), Victor Dorobantu (Thing), Moosa Mostafa (Eugene Ottinger), and Georgie Farmer (Ajax Petropolus). We can also expect guest appearances from Fred Armisen and Jamie McShane.
One name missing from the list is Percy Hynes White (Xavier Thorpe) from Season 1. No official reason has been provided for his departure. This is expected due to sexual abuse allegations against the actor last year.
Newcomers are joining the spooky fun! Series regulars include Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, and Noah Taylor. In addition, Steve Buscemi lands a series regular role, while Thandiwe Newton will grace the screen in a guest appearance.
Get ready for a star-studded season! Guest stars include genre icons Christopher Lloyd (a former Addams Family member himself!) and Joanna Lumley, alongside talented actors like Frances O’Connor, Haley Joel Osment, Heather Matarazzo, and Joonas Suotamo. This chilling line-up promises unforgettable guest appearances.
Series creators and showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar expressed their excitement about the upcoming season, highlighting the return of the entire Addams family and the exciting blend of established and new faces.
