Jenna Ortega Slips Back Into Wednesday’s Shadow
Jenna Ortega is back in her fan-favorite role as Wednesday Addams, donning the familiar black braids and deadpan wit that captivated audiences worldwide. This time, she’s not just leading the cast but also taking on a producer’s role. “The most exciting thing is being able to revisit her,” Ortega tells Tudum. “Wednesday Addams is one of the coolest characters of all time… it’s quite funny and strange and enjoyable.”
As the Wednesday Season 2 Teaser unfolds, viewers catch a glimpse of the chaos awaiting the brooding detective. Knives, brass knuckles, swords — and even Hyde monsters — return to wreak havoc, with Wednesday once again navigating the perilous halls of Nevermore.
A Family Affair at Nevermore
This season turns up the discomfort for Wednesday as her younger brother, Pugsley Addams (Isaac Ordonez), joins Nevermore Academy. Director Tim Burton notes, “Your family at school is the worst thing possible, isn’t it?… Poor Pugsley. He’s kind of an outcast among outcasts.” Struggling to control his newfound powers, Pugsley’s arrival adds an extra layer of mayhem.
Also making their presence felt more prominently are Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Gomez Addams (Luis Guzmán). Their increased involvement only adds to Wednesday’s agony — a reality that promises both comedic tension and heartfelt moments.
Expanding the Nevermore Universe
Showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar aim to broaden the narrative scope. “Season 1 really focused on Wednesday… now we get to expand their storylines and expand the scope and breadth of the show,” Gough reveals. Fans can expect the return of favorites like Enid (Emma Myers), Bianca (Joy Sunday), and Thing (Victor Dorobantu), alongside new characters and unexplored locations teased in the Wednesday Season 2 Teaser.
Millar hints that nothing is quite as it appears: “Wednesday goes into this season thinking she knows Nevermore… but as soon as she gets back, nothing happens that she’s expecting.”
Meet Hester Frump: Grandmama Arrives
The Addams family tree grows with the introduction of Hester Frump, played by the iconic Joanna Lumley. As Morticia’s eccentric mother and Wednesday’s peculiar ally, Hester brings both gravitas and comedic charm. “She nailed every single line, and it’s just so delicious,” Millar enthuses.
Lumley shares her excitement about joining the dark fantasy world: “There’s always something thrilling about working for Tim Burton… I get to wear many, many huge wigs, one on top of the other — and lots of quite constraining clothes, so I love it.”
New Headmaster, New Headaches
With Principal Weems (Gwendoline Christie) gone, Nevermore welcomes Barry Dort, portrayed by veteran actor Steve Buscemi. “Steve brought a new energy to this season,” Burton remarks.
Dort is described as mysterious yet passionate about the school’s legacy. Buscemi reflects, “Barry Dort is a bit of a mysterious figure… but he loves the school and he has real outcast pride.”
Old Tensions, Fresh Threats
One of the most gripping moments teased is the reunion between Wednesday and Tyler (Hunter Doohan), the Hyde responsible for Season 1’s chilling murders. Their tense dynamic re-emerges, adding layers of betrayal and suspense.
Meanwhile, Morticia and Gomez’s presence at Nevermore stirs new drama, especially between Wednesday and her mother. Millar highlights, “The mother-daughter relationship between Wednesday and Morticia is really the central relationship of the series.”
Fan Favorites Return for More Mayhem
Thing, the silent but expressive right hand, continues to be a source of comic relief and emotional depth. Ortega says, “Thing’s got a lot of emotional baggage and trauma to work through.”
Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen) also returns, this time with a bigger role. “Fred is the loveliest person… he brings so much humor to it,” Gough shares.
The Wednesday Season 2 Teaser promises a season brimming with mystery, dark humor, and family chaos. With new characters, unexpected twists, and the signature Tim Burton touch, Season 2 is shaping up to be even more addictive than its predecessor. Fans can prepare to return to the haunting world of Nevermore on August 6 — if they dare.
