Taking into consideration this connection, it makes all of the sense on this planet for Cousin Itt to roll up and take up a place on the college – both as a instructor or member of the board of administrators – in Wednesday Season 2. So long as he struts in whereas a Snoop Dogg tune performs, everybody wins right here.

Steve Buscemi joins the solid of Wednesday Season 2 as Barry Dort. Whereas his character’s backstory stays unknown on the time of writing, Selection claims he shall be launched as the brand new principal of Nevermore Academy, changing Gwendoline Christie’s Larissa Weems. Nothing in Wednesday occurs by likelihood, although, as the primary season demonstrated. Weems had a historical past with Morticia Addams (Catherine Zeta-Jones), so don’t be shocked if Dort is linked to Gomez (Luis Guzmán) by some means – particularly since Gomez additionally attended Nevermore. Principal Weems was extra of a disciplinarian and stern persona, so it’s seemingly that Dort is likely to be a softer and relaxed character compared, which is likely to be each good and unhealthy information for the scholars of Nevermore.
Pugsley Addams joins Wednesday at Nevermore Academy

This has been remedied for the second season, with Netflix’s Tudum confirming that Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán have been promoted to collection regulars, which means they’ll seem on display screen an entire lot extra now. Isaac Ordonez (Pugsley Addams) additionally acquired the bump as much as common standing. Whereas the present is about Wednesday – therefore its identify and whole premise – it will be nice to additional discover the tortuous dynamics between her and her sibling right here. This may very well be aided by the addition of Pugsley to Nevermore Academy, or no less than an prolonged go to from him in Wednesday Season 2. One factor’s for sure, although, there shall be much more Pugsley on this present transferring ahead.
Wednesday’s stalker is Christopher Lloyd’s character
Wednesday introduced again Christina Ricci as Marilyn Thornhill/Laurel Gates within the first season and made her central to the plot. In fact, diehard followers know Ricci beforehand performed Wednesday Addams in The Addams Household films. For Wednesday Season 2, Christopher Lloyd, who performed Uncle Fester within the movie collection, continues the development and joins the solid. His character’s identify stays secret and it’s unclear how a lot he’ll function within the precise present. Nevertheless, contemplating the meaty nature of Ricci’s position, it’s nearly assured that Lloyd gained’t be some random character with out function. On the finish of Wednesday Season 1, Wednesday found she had a stalker who had been watching her for fairly a while. Don’t guess in opposition to the stalker being revealed to be Lloyd’s character when all is alleged and accomplished, or no less than be carefully related to the individual watching Wednesday.
Xavier Thorpe will face a horrible destiny offscreen
In Wednesday Season 1, Percy Hynes White receives important display screen time as Xavier Thorpe, a psychic pupil who receives visions by his desires and connects with Wednesday. At one level within the present, Wednesday believes Xavier to be the monster and he’s wrongfully arrested; nevertheless, Xavier is launched within the season finale.

White had critical allegations made about him on X (previously often called Twitter) and Netflix selected to not convey him again for the second season of the present. So, what occurs to Xavier who was a giant a part of Season 1? Properly, he’s in all probability going to fulfill his maker, albeit offscreen. Possibly he’ll be the primary official sufferer of Wednesday’s stalker.
