Wednesday Season 2 Delves Deeper Into Addams Family Lore and Horror Themes
The Addams Family is set to reunite in their uniquely affectionate manner for Season 2, as hinted by a fresh sneak peek provided by Netflix. In this teaser, the cast and producers, Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, shared their thoughts on the unprecedented success of the first season and their plans to surpass it for the upcoming installment.
As Gough explains, since there isn’t much existing lore about the Addams Family, we decided to delve deeper into their family dynamics. In the video shared by , Millar further stated that the scope of Season 2 has expanded, particularly in terms of character arcs and it’s exciting to see them explore more of Nevermore.
Highlighted a comprehensive emphasis on characters like Gomez, Morticia, Lurch, an older Pugsley, Uncle Fester, and notably, the introduction of Wednesday’s Grandmama, portrayed by Joanna Lumley from Absolutely Fabulous. Compared to Season 1, there was a greater allocation of screen time for Gomze and Morticia, with scenes depicting them engaging in a fencing activity together, hinting at a shared hobby between mother and daughter.
Gomez is also noted to compliment Pugsley on his acquisition of Fester-like electric powers, as the Addams’ child becomes a fellow student at Nevermore. However, according to director Tim Burton, this new ability may present fresh challenges for Pugsley, given that he’s “an outcast among outcasts this season.” Nevertheless, Burton commended actor Isaac Ordonez for his outstanding portrayal of the emotional depth in Pugsley’s character.
Wednesday Has Been A Massive Hit For Netflix
Even though Wednesday got mixed-to-positive feedback, it swiftly soared to the top, surpassing the record held by Stranger Things Season 4. The initial season revolves around Wednesday’s struggle as she unwillingly joins a unique school for supernatural entities and misfits, where she uncovers a sinister secret connected to the Addams Family genealogy.
In addition to revealing the intriguing interactions within the Addams family, it also hinted at numerous eerie scenarios that Wednesday finds herself in, like being bound at a tea party surrounded by creepy dolls. Just like Stranger Things and other Netflix series, Season 2 is planned to be divided into two segments, with each set of episodes debuting in August and September.
Apart from its current actors, the show Wednesday boasts an expanded cast including Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Haley Joel Osment, Thandiwe Newton, and Christopher Lloyd, who is well-known for his role in the Addams Family films. Moreover, the upcoming season will delve deeply into horror culture, as confirmed that one episode will be dedicated to the slasher genre.
Wednesday Season 2 debuts on Netflix on Aug. 6.
