If there's one thing for certain about the infamous Addams Family, it's that they always find a way to veer towards the unexpected, offsetting any thoughts or notions audiences had planned for the notoriously macabre family.
Nowhere can this characteristic be more readily seen than in Netflix's ultra-popular dark comedy series, Wednesday. Starring Jenna Ortega as the titular brooding protagonist, Wednesday earned significant acclaim upon its initial premiere in the autumn of 2022.
As viewers wonder what misadventures the show has in store for the character, Wednesday's creators have offered tantalizing new details about the show's upcoming second season.
Above all else, Wednesday's showrunners (Miles Millar and Alfred Gough) promised the series would have plenty of new surprises for Season 2, including a slew of new characters alongside more than a few familiar faces, as reported by Entertainment Weekly.
"We certainly set out to really stretch ourselves and stretch what the show could do and see where our characters could go," said Millar. "The last thing you want is people to be disappointed having waited for so long. We really want to ensure that the show is loaded with surprises and comedy and action, and that they see the characters they love, but also introduce new ones."
In particular, the two showrunners promised a new emphasis on some of Wednesday's most dysfunctional family members, such as her younger brother Pugsley and her enigmatic parents, Morticia and Gomez.
"You get to explore the mother-daughter dynamic with Wednesday and Morticia [with Season 2]," Gough observed. "So it's really delving more into the Addams family and their backstory, but also their relationships. You can have a family that loves each other, but there's still issues and clashes."
If that weren't exciting enough, Wednesday's creators have also introduced a long-standing fan-favorite in Season 2 with Joanna Lumley's lovably chaotic, Grandmama.
"She's a whole different flavor of Addams that brings such delicious fun to the show and into the family," Millar said of Lumley's character. "We weren't sure how many episodes that character should be in, but seeing how well it played, I think Grandmama will definitely be coming back if we get a season 3."
