Wednesday Season 2: A Look At The Addams Family's Fortune And Who Is Hester Frump?
Let's take a closer look at how Joanna Lumley's character transforms in Wednesday season 2 and just how wealthy the Addams family really is.
Season 2 of Wednesday introduces fresh faces to the quirky Addams family, with one of the standout additions being Grandmama Addams, also known as Hester Frump. Played by the legendary Joanna Lumley, Grandmama brings style, power, and an air of mystery to the show. More than just Morticia Addams' mother, she's a successful businesswoman who owns Frump Mortuaries. Hester's grand entrance immediately shakes up the Addams household. Let's take a closer look at how Lumley's character transforms in season 2 and reveals just how wealthy the Addams family truly is.
Although Grandmama first appeared in the original Addams Family comics, season 2 marks her long-awaited on-screen debut. In this version, she is a wealthy businesswoman and one of the few family members who truly understands Wednesday. With her sharp personality and powerful status, Frump complicates the already-strained bond between Wednesday and Morticia.
As per Tudum, 'These three generations of Addams family women find themselves coming together — and crossing swords, literal and metaphorical — to create what Gough calls the 'delicious family triangle' that becomes the dessicated heart of Wednesday Season 2."
Jenna Ortega shared that Wednesday season 2 gave her the chance to show a different side of Wednesday's bond with her mother, Morticia. In the first season, Wednesday acted like a typical teenager, annoyed and wanting to distance herself from her 'clingy" mom. In the new season, she still wants space, but the two are brought closer when a serious problem arises.
Morticia finds out that Wednesday is dealing with 'psychic exhaustion" after pushing her supernatural powers too far while trying to protect her friend Enid from danger. While they still clash like most parents and teens, the season also includes moments where they will show mutual respect.
Addams' Family Wealth:
While the exact net worth of the Addams family isn't confirmed, past reports from Forbes suggest that Gomez Addams, Wednesday's father, has built a net worth of over $2 billion through family inheritance and multiple smart investments.

Prabhas, the celebrated star of Baahubali, has consistently kept his personal life under wraps, leaving fans curious about his marriage plans. However, a fresh wave of anticipation has emerged following a recent statement by his paternal aunt, Shyamala Devi. As reported by News18 , a video featuring her comments quickly spread across social media platforms.

Her candid remarks have set off a renewed frenzy among admirers, many of whom are now closely watching for any official confirmation from the actor himself.

We are all making efforts for his marriage, and we hope that, with Lord Shiva's grace, it will happen soon," she said. The Raja Saab: Prabhas' First Foray into Full-Scale Horror Professionally, Prabhas is venturing into unexplored territory with The Raja Saab, his debut as the lead in a complete horror production. The motion poster, unveiled earlier this year, hinted at a unique blend of supernatural intrigue and vintage cinematic appeal. According to the makers, the project is helmed by director Maruthi, a filmmaker recognized for weaving humor seamlessly into emotional storytelling. The film boasts high production values, with cinematographer Karthik Palani and music director Thaman S playing pivotal roles. Innovative Music Creation Process In an interview conducted in March, Thaman S revealed a distinctive approach to composing for The Raja Saab. Instead of finalizing the soundtrack before filming, he opted for an evolving process, fine-tuning the music as the shooting progressed. Thaman explained that this strategy allows greater creative freedom, particularly since Prabhas is returning to mainstream commercial tracks after a long interval. The soundtrack includes a variety of numbers—a rousing introduction song, a melodious track, a vibrant dance piece, and a romantic number that serves as the film's central theme. A Star-Studded Cast and Nationwide Appeal With audio rights reportedly valued between ₹30 and ₹40 crore, Thaman S is aiming for music that resonates across diverse audiences in India. The ensemble cast features Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Ridhi Kumar alongside Prabhas, promising a visually striking and emotionally engaging horror entertainer.

Last Updated: Mrunal Thakur breaks silence on dating rumours with Dhanush, calling him a 'good friend' and clarifying Ajay Devgn invited him to Son of Sardaar 2 screening. Mrunal Thakur has finally addressed the swirling rumours linking her romantically to Tamil superstar Dhanush. The buzz intensified after the two were spotted together multiple times, sparking speculation of a new romance in Bollywood and Kollywood circles. However, the actress has stepped forward to set the record straight. In a recent interview cited by Only Kollywood, Mrunal laughed off the dating rumors, emphasizing their friendship instead. She said, 'Dhanush is just a good friend to me," brushing aside the rumors as lighthearted and unfounded. Aware of the media chatter, she called the speculations 'funny" and insisted there was nothing romantic between them. Adding to the clarification, Mrunal revealed that Dhanush's presence at the Son of Sardaar 2 screening was not due to her invitation. 'Dhanush attended the Son of Sardaar 2 event. No one should misunderstand that. It was Ajay Devgn who invited him," she explained, putting an end to misconceptions about her role in the actor's attendance.
