Wednesday bosses hint at 'treacherous relationships' ahead of season 2
Warning: May contain spoilers for Wednesday Season 2.
Wednesday Season 2 will witness various relationships taking centre stage as producers reveal they "didn't want to disappoint" fans.
The brand new series is merely weeks away, following an extended wait for devotees. It's been three years since Wednesday initially appeared on our screens and became a sensation with audiences globally.
The debut series tracked Wednesday Addams (portrayed by Jenna Ortega) as she manoeuvred through her existence at Nevermore Academy, an institution for outcasts and misfits, reports the Express.
From werewolves and vampires, to sirens and gorgons, the boarding establishment witnessed everything. Eventually, Wednesday adapted to her fresh circumstances, whilst becoming immersed in a huge mystery, having saved Nevermore Academy from significant dangers.
And now, showrunners Miles Millar and Alfred Gough have revealed what supporters can anticipate for this latest instalment of the beloved programme, as they could be "more daring" and "have bigger scope".
And fans will see more of certain relationships as they evolve on screen. Wednesday will need to "navigate a lot of relationships" as Miles Millar explained they will be: "Primarily with her mother and with Enid. She discovers that those relationships are treacherous and it's not easygoing.
"It's always important for characters to have challenges in terms of those relationships, and that's what audiences really gravitate toward. The emotional heart of the show are those relationships."
Viewers will witness the entire family at Nevermore this series, which creates additional tension for Wednesday as Millar continued: "And the mother-daughter relationship between Wednesday and Morticia is really the central relationship this season."
As Wednesday's psychic visions alter throughout the programme, audiences will watch her battle to regain her abilities. Millar explained: "It becomes her goal (Wednesday) over the course of the season to recover her ability, and it brings her right into Morticia's orbit.
"Morticia is desperately trying to help Wednesday recover her power, but Wednesday is resisting. We are always building conflict and putting the mother-daughter relationship front and center in the episodes."
Morticia serves as chairwoman of the gala committee, so the entire family travels to Nevermore as producers acknowledged that "bringing the whole family to Nevermore felt like a no brainer."
Audiences will witness that tension as Morticia tries to assist Wednesday. Catherine Zeta-Jones, who plays Morticia, also teased what viewers can anticipate with the mother-daughter pair as she revealed: "This season, what unfolds are these three dynamic relationships: Me with my daughter, me with my mother, and Wednesday and my mother.
"I'm a little bit jealous of what unfolds in Wednesday's relationship with my mother, because when we're a little strained, she gravitates toward my mother, and she knows that would really annoy me."

Wednesday – Season 2 Episode 2 'The Devil You Woe' Recap & Review
The Devil You Woe Episode 2 of Wednesday Season 2 starts with Wednesday gaining consciousness. Morticia is disappointed because Wednesday kept the black tears a secret. She tells Wednesday that it is a sign that she is abusing her powers. Wednesday is disappointed that Thing told Morticia about Goody's book. Morticia asks Wednesday to be patient and wait for a new guide. Sadly, Wednesday refuses, saying she has no time to waste, especially after her last vision. Morticia insists that her ability is not a weapon but a gift, but Wednesday refuses to listen. On her way back to school, Wednesday drops by Galpin's house. Surprisingly, she finds him dead, another victim of the crows. She tries to find some evidence before the police arrive, but fails. Her psychic abilities also fail her. The police, led by Sheriff Santiago, arrive and arrest Wednesday. Santiago brings Wednesday to the station and tries to question her. She is curious about Galpin's missing phone. Wednesday says nothing; she believes Tyler might have killed his dad. The sheriff insists that Tyler is still locked away. Gomez shows up as Wednesday's lawyer and bails her out. On the drive back, Gomez seeks some answers from Wednesday. Wednesday is disappointed to hear that her parents will be staying. She thinks her mom is worried she will end up like Ophelia. However, Gomez refuses to shed light on what happened to Morticia's sister. The following day, Eugene learns that Pugsley brought back to life the boy from the legend. Pugsley is keeping the monster in Eugene's bee shed for the time being. They decide to call the monster Slurp. As for Wednesday, she tries to find answers in Goody's book. She asks Thing to keep the loss of her abilities and Enid's impending doom a secret. Upon arriving at the dorm, Wednesday finds Enid lying in a pool of blood with her throat slashed. It turns out to be a prank since it is officially prank day. Enid thinks Wednesday left an eyeball on her pillow. However, Wednesday didn't. It is most likely another gift from the stalker. As they talk, the stalker sends a message to Enid. They call the number back and get Galpin's voicemail. Enid is shocked that Wednesday is already caught in another murder mystery. Wednesday suggests that it might be better for Enid to stay in the room while she figures things out. She tries to get a psychic read from the eyeball, but nothing! In the meantime, Ajax watches Enid getting cosy with Bruno. Pugsley and Eugene help him get revenge on Bruno. The other students continue to enjoy their prank day without a care in the world. Wednesday approaches Dort and a fellow teacher to ask about outcasts who can control birds. The teacher says that such outcasts are called Avian, but they have not had one in Nevermore for years. Bianca meets with Morticia as the gala fundraising student liaison. The two talk about Wednesday, and the conversation turns to their complicated relationships with their moms. Bianca suggests that Morticia could reach out to her mom and ask for a donation. However, Morticia refuses to call her mom. Back at school, Slurp breaks free and escapes. Wednesday steals Enid's driver's ed consent form. She uses the opportunity to get a ride to Willow Hill. Morticia drops by the dorm and scolds Thing for keeping them in the dark. Thing counters by saying they treat him like a servant. Morticia apologises and takes Goody's book. As for Wednesday, she traumatises the driving school teacher as she drives to Willow Hill. At Willow Hill, she meets with Dr Fairburn, Tyler's psychiatrist. Fairburn knew Wednesday would visit sooner or later. She has been unable to make a breakthrough with Tyler, and Thornhill has been unforthcoming. Thornhill is in a different facility, and Fairburn needs Wednesday's help. The meeting with Tyler goes as imagined. He thinks Wednesday sensed his darkness and fell for it. According to Tyler, Wednesday got lucky, but not because she is smart. Wednesday breaks the news of Galpin's death, but Tyler refuses to help. Instead, he threatens to kill Enid when he gets free. This provokes Wednesday, and she belittles him. In turn, Tyler loses his cool and nearly turns into his monster self. At school, Eugene informs Pugsley of Slurp's escape. Enid finds a package for Thing. She is saddened when she realises the Addams family forgot Thing's birthday. As she comforts him, someone locks Thing in his little house and kidnaps Enid and Bruno. Meanwhile, Dort orders Bianca to use her siren powers on Morticia to get her to ask her mother for a donation. It turns out Bianca can't use her gifts on Dort, thanks to a relic he carries with him. In the evening, Wednesday gets to the dorm to find Thing locked in and Enid gone. The stalker calls Wednesday and gives her thirty minutes to find Enid and Bruno alive. Outside her door, Wednesday finds a clue. On her way to save Enid, Wednesday runs into Capri. Capri invites Wednesday to join her orchestra for the gala. Wednesday turns down the offer, but Capri insists. The conversation gives Wednesday a clue on how to find Enid. She heads to the music room and plays the note on the clue card. A random mystery door opens up, and Wednesday and Thing walk through it. Someone else is following them, but they can't see who it is. The passage leads to the closed Iago Tower, where Enid and Bruno are chained up. While waiting to be saved, Enid and Bruno try to free themselves before a set of knives falls on their heads. Enid knows they are in this situation because of Wednesday, but she doesn't blame her. Finally, Wednesday arrives and figures out the answer to the clue. She barely manages to save Enid and Bruno. The stalker reveals herself to be another fan of Wednesday. Thanks to her invisibility abilities, she has been able to pull such a scheme to get Wednesday's attention. Enid is unimpressed by Agnes's antics though. Elsewhere, Bianca visits Morticia and uses her powers to convince the latter to call her mom. Later, Wednesday apologises to Thing for forgetting his birthday and gives him a gift. She is pissed to learn her mom took the Goody book. Outside the window, a crow keeps tabs on Wednesday. The episode ends with Slurp attacking the driving school teacher and killing him. The Episode Review This episode gives us a hint at the similarities between Wednesday and her Aunt Ophelia. Morticia never talks much about her sister, but she worries her daughter might suffer the same fate. Simultaneously, we see Wednesday get some closure on the Tyler issue. Their confrontation was necessary. Galpin's death gave Wednesday the perfect reason to see Tyler too. Based on the teaser, we know Tyler's story is not over and we still have a lot of questions. This latest mystery only adds to the fire. What is happening at Willow Hill? Is it possible that the avian is one of the Willow Hill victims? As for the stalker mystery, this episode gives us answers. It turns out it was just a young fan trying to get Wednesday's attention. For what it is worth, Wednesday looked mildly impressed by Agnes's. Given Agnes' abilities, it would serve Wednesday to keep her close. Once again, our suspicion of Dort's motives grows. Why is he intent on getting Morticia's mom to donate to the school? Is he only trying to save Nevermore? Meanwhile, Pugsley is raising another monster, and things are taking a dark turn quicker than anticipated. Previous Episode Next Episode
