Showrunner Melanie Halsall will steer Season 2 with Ed Glauser executive producing. Jason Priestly, who directed two episodes in Season 1, will return to direct several episodes in the second season in addition to serving as producer.
RELATED:
Season 2 will welcome Becky Hartman Edwards, a writer-producer who has worked on Firefly Lane, The Bold Type, Switched at Birth, Parenthood and more, as an executive producer.
Although the author of Season 1's source material Ali Novak just announced a sequel book to the novel My Life With the Walter Boys called My Return to the Walter Boys, this book won't serve as a basis for Season 2.
The series took a different direction at the end of Season 1 than Novak's novel, which hints at Jackie's return more solidly than the end of the show, as Jackie boards a flight to New York to go back and live there with her Uncle Richard after the complicated love triangle she experiences with two of the Walter brothers.
'When you're making a television series that you want to be returning, you have to make changes from a novel. I wanted to surprise the audience. I wanted to give the audience something a little bit different than they were expecting from the book,' Halsall told Deadline. 'I wanted to leave it open-ended what Jackie was going to do and what boy she was gonna end up with,' Halsall said. 'I've often said that maybe Jackie won't end up with a boy but she'll end up on her own. Maybe that's still the case. It was a deliberate decision to make that change, and I think it was organic to the story.'
Halsall envisioned a multiple-season show from the beginning. Rodriguez applauded Jackie for choosing herself at the end of Season 1.
'Jackie's going through a lot and she has really big dreams and goals, and so I really hope for Jackie that she doesn't get too off track and doesn't get too distracted and just remember what she really wants,' she told Deadline. 'Ultimately, no one's gonna look out for you the way that you would. So I think… her choosing herself is really important for people to see, and I kind of applaud Jackie for it to be honest.'

Catherine Zeta-Jones Reveals the Surprising Career Path She'd Choose If She Wasn't an Actor (Exclusive)
The star sits down with her 'Wednesday' costar Jenna Ortega to discuss her passions outside of acting and the new season of the Netflix hit NEED TO KNOW Catherine Zeta-Jones reveals her passion for a creative field outside of acting while sitting down for an interview with her Wednesday costar Jenna Ortega The two stars discuss season 2 of the hit Netflix show, the first half of which premiered on Aug. 6 Zeta-Jones and Ortega also share how they are most similar Catherine Zeta-Jones is opening up about her talents beyond acting. In an interview for PEOPLE, Zeta-Jones' Wednesday costar Jenna Ortega asks her what profession she'd want to have if she wasn't an actor. "I think it would be in architecture and interior design my beautiful Jenna," says Zeta-Jones, 55. "I have to say it's a passion, and I am thinking about doing an online course to get a degree in it." Upon hearing that, Ortega, 22, says she needs "help" with decorating her own space. "If you walked into my place, it looks like nobody lives there," she says. "There's just books all over the floor." Zeta-Jones is up for the challenge. "Give me dimensions, give me some aesthetics!" she says. "I'll send you some great ideas. I love doing that — especially with other people's money." Since the first half of the long-awaited second season of Wednesday premiered on Netflix on Aug. 6, fans have been buzzing about the stars' return to the Addams Family universe, with Zeta-Jones back as matriarch Morticia and Ortega as her sharp-witted teenage daughter Wednesday. During the interview, Ortega asks how Zeta-Jones made her Morticia different from other Morticias. "Well, I respect everyone who has come before me because they've all had such wonderful attributes," Zeta-Jones says. "Getting into the shoes of a role like Morticia is like doing Lady Macbeth. Thousands of great actresses played Lady Macbeth through centuries, but Judi Dench did it different. Judi Dench did it her way. So I feel honored that I'm in such a great line." "I think a note that rings true in my ears that [series creator Tim Burton] gave me, and I'm sure all of us, was just to keep our characters rooted in realism," she continues. "You can push the caricature of it all as long as it's rooted in truth. When I think of Wednesday season 1, I think of Jenna's dance and her playing the cello." Ortega notes that "the cello has been the most difficult thing of the entire show." At one point during the interview, Zeta-Jones asks Ortega if she's given her any advice that's stuck with her. "Not to blow smoke or anything, but I feel like I take everything that you say very seriously, whether it be a joke or about the business and work," Ortega says. "I respect you. I respect your history and film. I have immense passion for you. I feel like you don't take yourself too seriously, but you take your craft immensely seriously. You've got a really good balance and understanding of what it means to operate in this industry, and I think I would like to be like you in that sense." Zeta-Jones — who has daughter Carys, 22, and son Dylan, 25, with husband Michael Douglas — says she and Ortega share a lot of similarities. "I feel like I am part of you and you are part of me in a lovely way," Zeta-Jones says. "First of all, I think we have a drive and an appreciation for what we do as a craft as opposed to celebrities at large. We have a sense of humor we both pick up on. I sometimes look at younger images of myself, and we do look similar. Even Carys said you can see a lot of Jenna in the photographs." Ortega says "that's the greatest gift of my life, if that's in any way, shape or form true." The first half of season 2 of Wednesday is streaming on Netflix now. The second half of the season premieres Sept. 3. Read the original article on People
