‘Wednesday’ video offers season 2 first look

Wednesday Addams and all of her dark-hearted charm are coming back for season 2, and Netflix is peeling back the spooky curtain on it all in a new behind-the-scenes video.

In the clip, below, the Wednesday cast, including Jenna Ortega, Luis Guzmán, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Emma Myers, and Joy Sunday, tease some scenes and on-set moments from the new season.

“Let’s play dolls,” Ortega’s cynical titular anti-heroine can be heard telling someone, all while ominously holding an obscenely serrated shank.

Zeta-Jones, who plays Addams family matriarch Morticia, teases, “This season is going to bigger and more twisted than you can ever imagine.”

It’s a pretty quick little tease at the next season of the supernatural series, but, as Wednesday puts it in the clip, “If we showed you any more, your eyes would bleed, and I’m not that generous.” Well then.

The first season of the Tim Burton-directed series was a new twist on The Addams Family franchise, featuring Ortega as the goth girl icon as she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability as a new student at Nevermore Academy, solve a mystery, and foil a supernatural killing spree in the process.

Not much is known about the plot for season 2, but showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar previously teased in a statement that they are “thrilled that the entire Addams family will be enrolling in Nevermore Academy this season along with a dream cast of icons and new faces.”

To that end, it’s been revealed that Steve Buscemi is joining as a character named Barry Dort. He’ll be joined by fellow new series regulars Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, and Noah Taylor, while new guest stars will include Christopher Lloyd, Joanna Lumley, Thandiwe Newton, Frances O’Connor, Haley Joel Osment, Heather Matarazzo, and Joonas Suotamo.

A few familiar faces won’t be coming back to Nevermore, however. Percy Hynes White, who played Wednesday love interest and telekinetic student Xavier, won’t be returning in the wake of sexual assault allegations against the actor (which he has denied).

Jamie McShane (who played Sheriff Donovan Galpin, father of Tyler) and Naomi J. Ogawa (who played fellow student Yoko Tanaka) have also departed ahead of season 2.
