Jenna Ortega takes the lead in 'Wednesday', featuring a guest appearance from Lady Gaga
Jenna Ortega is set to return to the screens next week for a second series of "Wednesday" on Netflix, and fans of the horror-inflected drama are in for a treat. The show's creators, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, have hinted at surprises in the second series, promising a more macabre turn.
The first series, which was Netflix's second most watched show after "Squid Game," with 252 million views, introduced us to Wednesday Addams, played by Ortega, as she navigated her way through Nevermore Academy. Burton, director of cult hits such as "Batman" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," felt the series was written for him and expressed his enthusiasm for the show during an online press event.
In the second series, Wednesday returns to Nevermore Academy thinking she is in control, but the creators suggest that things will not go as expected. Ortega's portrayal of Wednesday became a viral sensation, and for the second series, she had to learn to use a Swiss army knife and an axe.
The first four episodes of the second series will be released on Wednesday, with the rest due on Sept. 3. Steve Buscemi appears as the new head of Nevermore, Principal Dort, replacing Larissa Weems. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzman have bigger roles as Morticia and Gomez Addams in the second series.
One of the unexpected developments in the second season includes Wednesday having a premonition that her best friend Enid might die by her own hand. This plot twist introduces darker stakes and new dramatic tension. The creators have also indicated that the storylines and character arcs might change or expand depending on which characters resonate most with the audience, indicating flexibility and surprises in the show's trajectory beyond the first season's resolved mysteries.
A third season of "Wednesday" has already been commissioned by Netflix, so fans can look forward to more adventures with Wednesday Addams in the future. Lady Gaga also has a cameo in the new series. So, get ready to stream the second season of "Wednesday" on Netflix and witness the unexpected twists and turns that await.
Engage in the second season of "Wednesday" on Netflix, as Jenna Ortega delves deeper into the macabre world of Nevermore Academy, featuring movies-and-tv entertainment that entertains and surprises. The upcoming season, filled with unexpected developments, promises a captivating blend of entertainment and drama, with the addition of Lady Gaga in a cameo role.
