Wednesday Season 2 Officially In Production, Star Cast Announced
Al Gough and Miles Millar, creators and showrunners of the series, stated, “We are thrilled that the entire Addams family will be enrolling in Nevermore Academy this season, along with a dream cast of icons and new faces.”
Wednesday is back to entertain fans all over the world as the production of Season 2 is already underway. Wednesday debuted on Netflix in November 2022, and ever since it ended, fans have been eager to witness the future of the series. Considering the fan demand, Season 2 should have already been released, but it was delayed because of writers’ and actors’ strikes that shut down much of Hollywood in 2023.
The shooting of the show has already begun in Ireland, and the official star cast of the series has also been announced by Netflix. Jenna Ortega will return to play Wednesday Addams, which is great news for all the viewers as she made the character her own in the inaugural season of the series.
Al Gough and Miles Millar, creators and showrunners of the series, stated, “We are thrilled that the entire Addams family will be enrolling in Nevermore Academy this season, along with a dream cast of icons and new faces.” Al Gough and Miles Millar also serve as executive producers on the series.

Percy Hynes White is a noticeable absentee from the announcement, as he featured in Wednesday Season 1 as Xavier Thorpe. In 2023, Percy Hynes White was accused of sexual assault on social media.
