Thandiwe Newton is the latest actor to join the cast of Wednesday Season 2 at Netflix. She will make a great addition to the cast!
There are no details on who she is playing in the series, but there’s no doubt that she’ll fit right in with this story and the fantastical world that it’s set in.
Newton joins the recently cast Steve Buscemi and Jenna Ortega, who will return to reprise her role as the title character, who is navigating her teen years while a student at Nevermore Academy.
The first season came to an end with Wednesday Addams successfully solving a series of grisly murders while also thwarting an attempt to destroy Nevermore Academy and its students.
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar created the series and also serve as co-showrunners and executive producers. Tim Burton directed the first four episodes of Season 1 and is also an executive producer on the project.
When previously talking about what we can expect from Season 2, Ortega said: “We’re definitely leaning into a little bit more horror but it’s really, really exciting because all throughout the show, while Wednesday does need a little bit of an arc, she never really changes and that’s the wonderful thing about her.”
She continued: “There’s really, really good one-liners, and I think everything’s bigger, it’s a lot more action-packed. Each episode will probably feel a little bit more like a movie, which is nice.”
Gough and Millar have also hinted that we might see more Addams family members and explore further Wednesday’s relationship with her mother, Morticia.
