Netflix struck gold with the Tim Burton-helmed Wednesday series featuring Jenna Ortega, as it currently stands as the most streamed series in Netflix history. The streaming giant has even greenlit an Uncle Fester sideshow starring Fred Armisen, following the success of the unblinking Addams daughter’s show.

Given the immense popularity of the main attraction, Netflix has officially confirmed a second season, although details remain shrouded in secrecy. Despite the limited information available, hints suggest intriguing developments for Season 2, potentially introducing a new, unseen member of the Addams family.

Plot-wise, the series defied expectations by steering away from a predictable investigative path to clear the Addams family’s reputation. The first season finale left open the question of whether Tyler acted independently or under Thornhill’s influence. While Season 2’s narrative remains uncertain, it is clear that Wednesday has evolved in character depth, recognizing the limitations of acting alone to achieve her goals.

Jenna Ortega has expressed her desire for a “darker” portrayal of Wednesday in the upcoming season, delving deeper into the character’s motives and competitive nature. As production resumes in Romania, fans eagerly await the unfolding developments.

The cast is expected to feature Jenna Ortega reprising her role as the gothy lead character. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzman are likely to return as Morticia and Gomez, respectively. The hope is to see the return of Gwendoline Christie, Riki Lindhome, Hunter Doohan, Jamie McShane, Emma Myers, and Joy Sunday. The status of Fred Armisen’s involvement, either as Uncle Fester or in his own series, remains uncertain. However, Netflix has confirmed the introduction of a new Addams family member in Season 2, with Jenna Ortega expressing optimism about the possibility of it being Cousin Itt.

While Netflix has not announced a specific release date, filming is underway in spring 2024, suggesting a potential return of the show in early 2025. In the meantime, fans can catch Jenna Ortega in Tim Burton’s upcoming Beetlejuice movie.
