As part of its annual Geeked Week celebrations, Netflix has just shared a first look at Wednesday season 2 (via FearHQ.com). Taking us behind the scenes of the hit series, we see new footage from the show and catch up with various cast members and director and executive producer Tim Burton. 

The Addams Family prequel was a massive hit when it arrived on the streaming platform two years ago and there's a great deal of intrigue surrounding this second batch of episodes. 

At this stage, very little has been revealed in terms of plot details; on the plus side, Netflix has already confirmed Wednesday will return in 2025! 

The series is a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams' years as a student at Nevermore Academy. Wednesday's attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago - all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships at Nevermore.

Jenna Ortega will return to lead Wednesday Season 2 as the part-time detective, part-time mystery author, and full-time outcast; she’s also set to produce.

Emma Myers (Enid Sinclair), Joy Sunday (Bianca Barclay), Moosa Mostafa (Eugene), Georgie Farmer (Ajax), and Victor Dorobantu (Thing) all return, as do Catherine Zeta-Jones (Morticia Addams), Luis Guzmán (Gomez Addams), Isaac Ordonez (Pugsley Addams), Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo (Deputy Ritchie Santiago), Jamie McShane (Sheriff Donovan Galpin), and Fred Armisen (Uncle Fester). 

New additions to the Wednesday cast include Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, Noah Taylor, Christopher Lloyd, Joanna Lumley, Thandiwe Newton, Frances O’Connor, Haley Joel Osment, Heather Matarazzo, and Joonas Suotamo.

"Our goal this season was to discover some fresh faces as well as invite some acting legends we’ve always admired to join Jenna and the gang at Nevermore," co-showrunners Miles Millar and Al Gough said earlier this year. "When we survey the talent we’ve assembled, we could not be more thrilled. Mission accomplished."

"We can’t wait to dive headfirst into another season and explore the kooky, spooky world of Nevermore," they added. "We just need to make sure Wednesday hasn’t emptied the pool first."

Check out this first look at Wednesday season 2 in the X post below and stay tuned for updates.

@Malatrova15 -

Ahh yes. The current day school of internet psychology. Where you tell someone to “Cope” cause you THINK you bested them in an exchange so you don’t feel that surge of anxiety when another person informs you of how much of an idiot you truly are.

God I miss the days when not every brain dead person had the ability to be online.

I've been meaning to watch this, but I'm so sentimentally attached to the Barry Sonnenfeld movies and Christina Ricci as Wednesday.

@Ikusa - I felt the same way and was thus realy worried I would unfairly hate it due to that, but loved the first series, and Christina Ricci is actualy in it as the main antagonist, a normie and Wednesday's dorm Mom which is a fun nod to the films.

In a lot of ways I ended up liking the more source accurate (to the original print version) Gomez as didn't find myself comparing it to Raul Julias take, which helped for me, and her parents aren't in it too much for that to be a huge issue either way.

As to Wednesday herself, she felt as a character as good IMO as Ricci's and similar enough the differences didn't stand out. I am not saying they are exactly the same take on the character as they aren't, just tend to feel if you liked Christina's you will like Jenna Ortega's.

Now, if you like the story and other characters etc is another thing, I know for instance some had issues with her roommate and certain aspects of the narrative but it all worked for me. Even if at first Enid was TOO bubblegum as it worked having those diametricaly opposing character types and how they grew and started appreciating each other and becoming friends over the course of the series. It was Tyler that for me didn't work that well over the course of the season but would be a spoiler to explain why, but not enough of a one to negate overall loving season one.
