‘Wednesday' Creators Share Intriguing New Details For Season 2
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."

Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones practice fencing in 'Wednesday' Season 2 sneak peek
Looks like there'll be some mother-daughter bonding in "Wednesday" Season 2, Addams Family style! Actresses Jenna Ortega and Catherine Zeta-Jones, who play Wednesday Addams and her mother, Morticia, are seen practicing how to fence in a sneak peek released by Netflix this week. "It was like, 'Oh my gosh, I get to fence?'" Catherine said. During one of their practice sessions, Jenna gushed, "She's so good. You can see she was a dancer." Official scenes show Wednesday and Morticia sparring while blindfolded. "I feel lucky to be experiencing this mother-daughter dynamic with someone as incredible as Catherine," Jenna said. The sneak peek also explores more of Nevermore, and more importantly — Wednesday's brother Pugsley is now a student at the school. Actor Isaac Ordonez said that Pugsley "really wants to fit in and he really wants a friend... but it's not looking very good." Grandmama will also be introduced in the upcoming season. She will be played by Joanna Lumley. The first season of "Wednesday" premiered on Netflix in 2022, following Wednesday Addams' first year in Nevermore Academy and uses her psychic ability to solve a local murder that her father had been blamed for. Season 2 will be split into two parts. Part I will be out on August 6, while Part II will premiere on September 3. —JCB, GMA Integrated News

Major update on dog stolen from the hands of elderly man as police search for teens who took her
A loved family dog that a group of teenagers stole from the hands of a 72-year-old man on Saturday morning has been returned to her owners. Five-year-old white Staffordshire Bull terrier cross Morticia, was stolen from the elderly man while on a walk in Mount Waverley, 20km east of Melbourne, at 2.30am on Saturday. Police said the pup was being walked along Huntingdale Road by her owner when a group in a black Holden Commodore pulled over. The teenagers, believed to be young men and women, made demands for his dog. Ewa Gawrysiak, daughter of the owner Boguslaw, told the teenagers in the car yelled 'we want the dog' and 'give us the dog'. '[Dad] blew it off as drunks coming home after a night out,' she said, saying her family were shift workers so it wasn't unusual for her father to walk the dog at night. The man fled, but was chased by one youth to a nearby convenience store on Waverley Road in Chadstone before Morticia was stolen. Police said the offenders fled the scene in the Commodore, which didn't have any numberplates, and they were last seen driving south on Huntingdale Road. But on Saturday evening, police said Morticia had been found and was reunited with her owners. 'It's understood the dog was located on Huntingdale Road and taken to the RSPCA before going home,' a Victoria Police spokeswoman said. 'Police continue to investigate the theft. 'Any witnesses or anyone with CCTV/dashcam footage or information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers'.
