Luis Guzmán says there will be more Addams family inWednesdayseason 2. TheTim Burton-createdNetflix series debuted in fall 2022, and was an instant success. Instead of taking place in the Addams Family home, the spinoff focuses on Gomez (Guzmán) and Morticia’s dour daughter Wednesday, and her time at Nevermore Academy. The show features a leading cast including Jenna Ortega, Guzmán, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Hunter Doohan, Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Moosa Mostafa, and Isaac Ordonez. Season 2 adds several cast members, including Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Lady Gaga, and Noah Taylor.
In an interview withScreenRantfor his new movieHavoc, Guzmán speaks aboutWednesdayseason 2. The actor teases that the show “went into a different galaxy,“expanding the scope and improving from the first installment. Whether there would be more of the Addams Family in season 2, Guzmán responds"oh, absolutely” while continuing to hype the season. Check out the full quote from Guzmán below:
ScreenRant: Last season [ofWednesday], I was really wanting to see more of you, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Fred Armisen. Can you say anything about if we’re going to get more of that classic Addams Family thing in this season?
Luis Guzmán: Oh, absolutely. I thought the first season was amazing, and I’m telling these guys, “How are you going to top this?” They went not into a different orbit or universe–they went into a different galaxy. You know what I’m saying? I tipped my hat to these guys, man, because they create a vision, and [there’s] Tim Burton, and, wow, man. It’s all about the writing, and you have the most incredible, talented, gifted group of actors, and it just all works. That’s all I’m going to say.
What This Means For Wednesday Season 2
As the title would indicate,Wednesdayseason 1focuses heavily on the eponymous teenage girl. This notably meant that other members of the family, who were more heavily featured in the previousAddams FamilyTV shows and movies, were pushed to the wayside.Fred Armisen’s Uncle Fester, for example, only appeared in a single episodeof the Netflix series in its first installment. The show also took time to develop original characters such as Enid, detracting from its ability to focus on Morticia, Gomez, Pugsley, and more.
While the show was well-received, this was sometimes a criticized element ofWednesdayseason 1. Guzmán suggests that the series will reverse course for next season, though he does not specify the exact nature of their return. The Addams family is briefly seen in theWednesdayseason 2trailer, which shows them dropping Wednesday off at Nevermore. This leaves a lot of intrigue as to what their storyline will be in the upcoming season.
Our Take On Including The Addams Family In Wednesday Season 2
This Choice Makes Sense For Season 1
Season 2 is the best time forWednesdayto re-explore storylines relating to other classicAddams Familycharacters, as the show has already established its supporting cast. Audiences already know characters like Enid, Tyler, or Bianca, so they will not need to have a huge expositional lead-up to establish such figures. This will give more time to explore the characters the audiences have known and loved for years, but in the reimagined context of the spinoff series.
Wednesday
Cast
