Netflix Reveals The Addams Family Portrait for Wednesday Season Two

It's a family affair in season two of Netflix's hit series Wednesday. During the streamer's presentation in New York City, a portrait of the Addams Family was revealed, heralding a season that will focus more on Wednesday's (Jenna Ortega) loved ones. Among them are Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia, Jenna Ortega as Wednesday, Luis Guzmán as Gomez, Joanna Lumley as Grandma, Joonas Suotamo as Lurch, Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester and Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley.

Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, Wednesday follows the eponymous Addams scion to Nevermore Academy, where she learns to control her emerging psychic abilities. In the first season, she uncovers a murder spree that is linked to her parents, Morticia and Gomez, who met at the school fifteen years earlier.

Season two will further shine a light on Wednesday and Morticia’s mother-daughter relationship, while introducing new family members. Zeta-Jones, Guzmán, and Isaac Ordoñez, who plays Wednesday’s brother Pugsley, have all been promoted to series regulars for the series’ second season.

Netflix and MGM Television are developing a spinoff that will expand Wednesday’s world with a focus on Uncle Fester (played by guest star Fred Armisen in season one). A recent trailer revealed that Wednesday will return to Nevermore Academy, where she will be reunited with her roommate Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers).

Zeta-Jones previously hinted that their second season will be "bigger and more twists than you could ever imagine." Ortega shared that the new episodes will lean more toward horror, as opposed to the teen romance of the show's first season.

The season will be split into two parts, with part 1 streaming on Thursday, August 6, and part 2 streaming on Thursday, September 3. This marks the first time in a long time that Netflix has adopted the season-splitting release pattern it has used for some of its biggest series. Last year, the streamer's latest seasons of Bridgerton, Emily in Paris and Outer Banks were released in two halves, four weeks apart.
