Wednesday Season 2 Cast and character guide: Who plays who in the upcoming instalment of Netflix's supernatural show

After a long wait of almost 2 years since the first season came out in 2022, the production of Wednesday Season 2 has kicked off. Season 1 bewitched fans and quickly became the most-watched English-language show on Netflix.

Creators Miles Millar and Alfred Gough and Executive Producer Tim Burton had given the Addams family story a fresh spin and Jenna Ortega had nailed her role as Wednesday. Now, much to the fan’s relief, Season 2 is coming and one can expect Ortega’s to be even more spectacular.

Show’s creators Millar and Gough mentioned in an interview with Tudum in 2023,

“We can't wait to dive head first into another season and explore the kooky spooky world of Nevermore.”

Further adding,

“Just need to make sure Wednesday hasn't emptied the pool first.”

Season 2 of Wednesday will see both old and new faces. Here’s a complete cast and character guide for the same.
