Jenna just lately opened up about how “protective” she is of Wednesday. “I don’t think I’ve ever had to put my foot down on a set in a way that I had to on Wednesday because it’s so easy to fall into that category, especially with this type of show. Everything that she does, everything that I had to play, did not make sense for her character at all. Her being in a love triangle made no sense,” the actress stated on Armchair Knowledgeable with Dax Shepard.

She continued, “There was a line about this dress that she has to wear for a school dance and she said, ‘Oh my god, I love it. Ugh, I can’t believe I said that. I literally hate myself.’ And I had to go, ‘No.’ There was times on that set where I even became almost unprofessional in the sense where I just started changing lines.” Jenna admitted that she grew “very, very protective of her, but you can’t lead a story and have no emotional arc because then it’s boring and nobody likes you.”

Jenna’s feedback brought about some controversy on the web, however Alfred Gough and Miles Millar had nothing however reward for her. “You’re dealing with an iconic character and you’re putting it in a way that’s never been done before,” Alfred advised The Wrap. “We had a million discussions with Tim before the casting because we were like, ‘If we don’t get the right Wednesday, we’re all screwed.’ Once we got Jenna on board, it was a million discussions with her. We all wanted to do the character justice and make it great. And look, I think the response has been fantastic. She’s now the iconic Wednesday.”

In a brand new interview, the Scream 6 star additionally revealed that she truly turned down the function of Wednesday a number of occasions. “I got the email, passed on it. I had done so much TV in my life, all I’ve ever wanted to do is film,” Jenna advised The Sunday Occasions. “When I first started acting, I don’t want to say nobody believed in me, but at the same time nobody believed in me. You have to prove yourself. It’s only in the last three or four years that I’ve been able to start going up for film.”

She added that she initially thought that signing onto the present would stop her from “doing other jobs I really wanted and cared about. The only reason I went back is because Tim [Burton] is such a legend, and we just happened to get along very well. But even then I said, ‘Ah, no, I think I’m OK,’ a couple [more] times.”

Since Wednesday will possible be returning for an additional semester at Nevermore Academy, her new associates are prone to return: Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair, Percy Hynes White as Xavier Thorpe, Pleasure Sunday as Bianca Barclay, Georgie Farmer as Ajax Petropolus, Moosa Mostafa as Eugene Otinger.

Regardless that it appeared like Tyler Galpin was being locked away after being revealed because the Hyde, Hunter Doohan thinks Tyler’s story is way from over.

“I just want to explore what’s next for Tyler, and if he’s going to come back after Wednesday,” he advised HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY. “I guess the idea left at the end is that he’s really pissed off enough to transform in that armed vehicle and I assume escape.”

Tyler was underneath the management of Christina Ricci’s Marilyn Thornhill, a.ok.a. Laurel Gates, all through the primary season. Hunter famous that he would like to see “what Tyler and the Hyde are like without having a master in Thornhill.” Thornhill’s destiny is left open on the finish of the season, so it’s doable that Christina may return sooner or later.

“I think considering the fact we don’t see Laurel dead and we do see Tyler’s eyes open, I feel like things probably aren’t entirely wrapped up there,” Jenna advised TV Information.

Christina appeared as a visitor on The View on March 15 and opened up about being part of Wednesday. “It was really fun, and I was really flattered and touched that they included me,” she stated. “That character is such a huge part of my career.

So to be part of the new iteration of it was really meaningful to me, and I was so excited to work with Tim Burton again, and Jenna is so good. It was really fun to see what she’s doing with the character and how amazing she is.”

The remainder of the Addams household is anticipated to pop up in season 2 sooner or later. Followers beloved seeing Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams and Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams.

Since he loves mischief, Fred Armisen’s Uncle Fester ought to pay a go to to Wednesday sooner or later.

“We felt like we just touched the surface with those characters and the actors are so amazing in those roles,” Miles advised TVLine. “Catherine is, I think, an iconic Morticia. The relationship between Wednesday and Morticia is also essential to the show, and the idea that Wednesday is trying to forge her own path outside the family is important.”

Netflix hasn’t launched any casting bulletins for season 2 as of but. Nevertheless, followers have already got some ideas as to who they’d wish to see in season 2. The one on the high of the record is Woman Gaga because the pop star/actress and the present are so linked now. “If Lady Gaga were to be a part of it, they’d have to be two monsters who understand each other,” Jenna advised Variety on the Golden Globes.

One other standard alternative for season 2 is Anjelica Huston, who performed Morticia Addams within the ’90s Addams Household films. Since there’s a gap for a brand new Headmaster at Nevermore, she may undoubtedly fill that place.

There’s been no phrase if Tim Burton will return as a director and government producer in season 2. He directed the primary 4 episodes of the primary season.

Plot & Storyline Theories For Wednesday Season 2

The writers and government producers haven’t confirmed any set plans for season 2, however they’ve deliberate forward. “For us, it’s always looking at the future, and when we sit down to create a show, it’s looking at multiple seasons, ideally,” co-showrunner Miles Millar advised Selection. “That’s never expected, but that’s the anticipation that hopefully the show is successful. So you always lay out at least three or four seasons’ worth of potential storylines for the characters. It can evolve and change. Often, you want to see which characters or cast pop and who you like to write for. So you want to keep it open and organic enough to change it and evolve, but we certainly have a pretty clear runway of what we want to do in future seasons.”

Alfred Gough additionally teased to The Wrap that the supporting characters might be explored in season 2. “We set the table,” Alfred. “You’ve seen the world. You’ve seen Wednesday. And now all of those other characters that you saw will be able to be fleshed out more and you’ll be able to learn more about them. That’s certainly exciting to us.”

Whereas on The Tonight Present with Jimmy Fallon in March 2023, Jenna gave somewhat trace as to what to anticipate in season 2. “We just started getting a writers’ room together and talking about it,” she stated.  All people’s being actually cool. I believe we wish to up the type of the horror side somewhat bit and get Wednesday out of the romantic state of affairs and simply let her be her personal particular person and combat her personal crime.

Jenna gave extra hints about season 2 in her sit-down interview with Elle Fanning for Selection. “I just got a couple of the outlines for the first couple episodes. So it’s still very much coming together,” she stated. “We’ve had a lot of conversations and we’ve decided things that we want to enhance and dive a little bit deeper in. I think we want to lean into the horror aspect of the show more because it is so light-hearted. I think that we’re kind of ditching any romantic love interest for Wednesday, which is great. And then also, we have such incredible female leads in the show.” She added, “I think we’re gonna get a lot more bolder. A lot more dark.”

On the finish of the primary season, Nevermore Academy was shut down for the rest of the semester. Co-showrunner Alfred Gough advised THR that the varsity being closed “gave us the most possibilities for season 2, and I think that’s something that we’re excited to explore.”

He famous that the present is in the end in regards to the “female friendship” between Wednesday and Enid. Nevertheless, many followers imagine Wednesday and Enid have romantic emotions for one another. Right here’s what Miles needed to say:

“As Al said, this idea of sisterhood is key to the show. We’re not gonna discount anything, and, obviously, sometimes characters reveal themselves, which is the fun thing we love about television, that it’s an organic journey. We have a roadmap, and we’d like to have routes along that map that take you in unexpected directions. So, we’re open to everything. We wanna explore that friendship in every way, but we’re not gonna be, this is where you sometimes get misdirected by fans and things like that, so it’s just being really open to see how those characters develop and that friendship. As Al said, that friendship is key to our sort of vision of the show.”

Wednesday did open her coronary heart somewhat in season 1 and developed emotions for Tyler. When he turned out to be the Hyde, that was clearly a shock to the system. Within the ultimate moments of the finale, Xavier gave Wednesday her first telephone and hinted that she ought to textual content him someday. Xavier and Wednesday undoubtedly had a will-they-or-won’t-they factor in season 1, so season 2 may go down the romantic route for them.

He added, “That said, it’s a supernatural show, there are always ways people can return. Never say never, but at this point, she’s definitely dead.”

Jenna Ortega adamantly advised TV Information that she refuses to “accept that as the truth.” Gwendoline added gas to the fireplace that Weems may presumably return sooner or later. “I feel Larissa Weems would never be dominated by something as commonplace as death,” she stated.

Jenna once more addressed Gwendoline’s doable return to the present in her dialog with Elle Fanning. “I would die to work with Gwendoline Christine for the rest of my life,” Jenna stated. “I’m doing everything in my power to throw out the most insane plots that would possible bring this woman back from the dead. I am trying. It would be a shame to go on without her.”
