Netflix's Wednesday is in 'living hell' as she returns to Nevermore in season 2
Wednesday season two is just around the corner with Jenna Ortega teasing a "living hell" awaiting Wednesday Addams. WARNING: This article contains spoilers from Wednesday. Jenna Ortega has revealed that the iconic Wednesday Addams will be facing a "living hell" in the upcoming return of the hit drama to Netflix. It's been three years since Wednesday first captivated audiences worldwide with its fresh take on the Addams Family universe. In the first season, we saw Wednesday Addams (portrayed by Jenna Ortega) navigate the peculiarities of Nevermore Academy, a haven for supernatural misfits ranging from werewolves and vampires to sirens and gorgons. Initially an outsider at Nevermore, Wednesday eventually became the school's saviour, thwarting the malevolent plans of both Joseph Crackstone (William Houston) and Laurel Gates (Marilyn Thornhill) by the semester's end. The second season promises new escapades for Wednesday, yet the shadows of her past continue to loom over the gloomy adolescent. Alfred Gough, the show's creator, divulged to Netflix about the forthcoming season: "Wednesday deals with the fact that back at Nevermore, she's suddenly incredibly popular, which drives her insane." When discussing Wednesday's return to Nevermore, Ortega described: "The atmosphere at Nevermore in the beginning of the school year is a living hell." She further explained the grim situation: "It's this terrible situation for Wednesday and she's very upset." Ortega also shed light on how Wednesday grapples with her unexpected popularity, adding: "Wednesday rejects mainstream ideas and concepts and attention and everybody on the show doesn't. "Then this weird, insane reception happened with the show, and she's still fighting that and it's an uncomfortable place to be in. "But also, it's very easy to group people into these big bandwagons, but everyone internally always feels a bit odd, or they feel a bit left out, or they feel like they're not really able to connect. "It seems so contradictory to what Wednesday is, but at the same time, that's kind of the point, if that makes sense. "She's such an admirable, honest, truthful character who is a loner." The upcoming series teases that Wednesday will be wrestling with her burgeoning powers, particularly after experiencing a harrowing vision involving Enid Sinclair's (Emma Myers) demise. In the meantime, the enigmatic new principal Barry Dort (Steve Buscemi) is set to make his entrance at Nevermore, cloaked in mystery.

Wednesday bosses tease one star will see 'new powers' in Season 2
Wednesday season 2 is just weeks away and bosses have given fans a glimpse at what they can expect Wednesday bosses have teased that one star will see evolving new powers ahead on the brand new season. Wednesday enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the much-anticipated second series of the beloved programme. It's been an extensive three years for audiences since Wednesday first mesmerised viewers globally. With its innovative approach to the Addams Family world, the first series witnessed Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) adjusting to her fresh existence at Nevermore Academy, an institution for supernatural outcasts. From lycanthropes to blood-suckers, the academy encountered everything. Despite originally being a loner, Wednesday quickly became a vital part Nevermore and discovered herself caught up in her own huge investigation. And Wednesday, series 2 is merely weeks away, guaranteeing more intricate and sinister plotlines. Now, Wednesday executives have spoken candidly about Pugsley, whom supporters will witness more of this series. Pugsley Addams is Wednesday's younger sibling. Programme creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar have tantalized fans with what they can anticipate. Pugsley is destined to be accepted to Nevermore as a pupil himself, but only time will reveal how Wednesday will take the news. Alfred Gough hinted: "One of the things we learned in Season 1 is how much people love the Addams family, and there really isn't a lot of Addams family lore that exists. We love having the open playing field of creating the Addams family myth and delving deeper, so we wanted to bring them to Nevermore." He further commented: "Also, Pugsley's come as a student, so now Wednesday has to deal with her younger brother being here. And as Miles said, there's a lot of family secrets that start to get uncovered." Gough confessed that Wednesday is "not feeling great about the idea", adding: "I don't think anybody really wants their little brother with them at school. Pugsley is somebody who's always struggled to make and have friends. He didn't have any friends in Normie school and that's what he really wants." A "socially awkward" Pugsley finds himself "trying very hard" but ends up sharing a room with Eugene (Moosa Mostafa). However, things don't go as planned, as Pugley soon finds himself raising a zombie. Gough explained: "He's also rooming with Eugene (Moosa Mostafa), who's cool now because he helped save the school. Then, of course, in a typical Addams scenario, Pugsley finds a friend by ultimately raising a zombie." Tim Burton himself described Pugsley as an "outcast among outcasts", stating: ". He comes into Nevermore for the first time, so we get to see his beautiful experience at school. Everybody has their own specialty power, and he's new to his own. He's just exploring his newfound teenage powers."
