Ever since season one ended, we’ve been craving more spooky adventures with Wednesday and the rest of The Addams Family on the hit Netflix show. Now that production has finally started on season two, we’re starting to get hints at what could be in store when our favorite “creepy little freak” gets back on our screens. Specifically, we know who is joining the Wednesday season two cast and it has some exciting new names on it.

Most of the series regulars are returning for season two, with the exception of Percy Hynes White, who starred in season one as Xavier Thorpe, after allegations of sexual assault surfaced on social media in 2023. Jenna Ortega returns as Wednesday Addams and Emma Myers is back as Enid Sinclair.

The most exciting addition to the cast includes an Addams Family veteran. Christopher Lloyd, who played Uncle Fester in the 90s films, is back in an undisclosed role. We’ve not heard any confirmation if Christina Ricci, who portrayed Wednesday in those same films and who guest starred in season one of the Netflix show, will be back for season two, but we’d love to see another reunion between those two.

The full Wednesday season two cast is:

• Jenna Ortega as Wednesday
• Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair
• Joy Sunday as Bianca Barclay
• Moosa Mostafa as Eugene
• Georgie Farmer as Ajax
• Victor Dorobantu as Thing
• Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams
• Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams
• Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams
• Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo as Ritchie Santiago
• Jamie McShane as Sheriff Donovan Galpin
• Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester
• Steve Buscemi as Barry Dort
• Joanna Lumley as Grandmama
• Billie Piper as Capri
• Thandiwe Newton as Dr. Fairburn
• Evie Templeton
• Owen Painter
• Noah Taylor
• Christopher Lloyd
• Frances O’Connor
• Haley Joel Osment
• Heather Matarazzo
• Joona Suotamowill

With the show just now entering production, we don’t know much about the plot of Wednesday season two, nor do we have much clue about when it will come out. However, these new names in the cast certainly tell us that Netflix has something big up its sleeve for season two.

Weird is relative, and the iconic comic-turned-tv-turned-movie franchise that is Addams Family is the perfect picture of that. Several of the cast of the '90s movie franchise are coming to Seattle's ECCC 2024, and you can get first dibs on photo ops and autographs and watch their panel for free here at Popverse.
