The new chapter of “Wednesday” starts again with the young Addams again struggling with the life of the snowman Academy, the school for Reietti where it all started. But if we believed that the worst had passed, we were wrong: new enemies, ancient rivalries and unexpected threats await the protagonist, who will have to face a fearsome and adventurous path between family hitches, school secrets and disturbing supernatural presences. After discovering his psychic powers and unmasked the monsters of the first season, on Wednesday he will find himself in the sights of his first stalker and will have to deal with the return of old knowledge, such as Tyler and his terrifying double nature. The tone becomes even darker, while the protagonist enters a new investigation than full of twists and turns to dodge.
In some official statements, the leading actress Jenna Ortega has confirmed that the new narrative arc will be more pushed towards horror, leaving aside any romantic plot to focus on the darkest and most disturbing side of the character. Catherine Zeta-Jones (morticia in the series) also assured that season 2 will be larger and more twisted than you can imagine. They echo the creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, with Tim Burton’s supervision: “Wednesday’s world expands, complicated and dares more”, they say. “We had more creative freedom, and this allowed us to make the show even more bold”.
