Wednesday’s Coming Back! New Faces & Old Friends
Nevermore Academy’s getting wild again as Wednesday Addams makes her epic return!
Jenna Ortega’s back with her death stare and deadpan humor, ready to shake things up with both familiar faces and some seriously cool newcomers.
They’re splitting the new season into two parts (dropping August 6 and September 3), and trust me, it’s gonna be darker and twisted AF. With Jenna stepping up as producer too, you know they’re cranking the creepy factor way up!
Star Power Overload!
Talk about a killer cast! Steve Buscemi’s taking over as Principal Barry Dort now that Weems is gone.
The fabulous Joanna Lumley is bringing some “delicious fun” as Grandmama, while Thandiwe Newton shows up as Dr. Fairburn at the spooky Willow Hill Psychiatric Facility.
But here’s the tea – Lady Gaga is joining as Rosaline Rotwood! She’s playing this legendary Nevermore teacher who crosses paths with Wednesday.
And Billie Piper? She’s coming in as a music teacher named Capri Isadora who’s secretly a werewolf! How cool is that?!
The Gang’s All Growing Up
Our faves aren’t just standing still, either. Emma Myers says Enid’s “more comfortable with herself” and “a bit more badass” this time around.
Joy Sunday’s Bianca and Wednesday are developing this complicated friendship – still competitive but with some real vulnerable moments.
Hunter Doohan’s Tyler is back with all kinds of unresolved feelings and no master pulling his Hyde strings anymore.
And get this – Isaac Ordonez’s Pugsley is now a regular, messing around with static electricity just like Uncle Fester!
Behind the Scenes Tea
Miles Millar (the co-creator) swears they’ve “gone above and beyond” season one.
“We don’t want anyone disappointed after waiting so long,” he says.
“We’re loading this season with surprises, laughs, and tons of action!”
With Jenna having more creative say and this insane lineup of talent, Wednesday’s second season is gonna blow our minds when it hits Netflix this summer!
