Welcome Back to Nevermore Academy

Nearly three years after its record-breaking debut, Wednesday returns for Season 2, diving deeper into the eerie halls of Nevermore Academy and the twisted secrets of Jericho. The first season became Netflix’s second-most-watched series ever (surpassed only by Squid Game), thanks to its fresh take on classic characters and a world teeming with psychics, werewolves, and hidden agendas.

Created by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar and executive produced by Tim Burton, the series follows Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) as she navigates a new mystery—one that hits close to home when a vision foretells her roommate’s death.

With new faces and familiar fiends joining the cast, here’s your guide to Wednesday Season 2’s key players:

The Addams Family

🔹 Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega)
After honing her psychic abilities over summer break, Wednesday returns to Nevermore—only to be haunted by a deadly premonition. Her mission? Solve the mystery before it’s too late.

🔹 Pugsley Addams (Isaac Ordonez)
No longer just the little brother in the shadows, Pugsley starts his first year at Nevermore. Wednesday may act indifferent, but her protective instincts run deep.

🔹 Morticia Addams (Catherine Zeta-Jones)
The Addams matriarch stirs up drama by moving into a campus house—alongside her enigmatic mother, Hester Frump. Cue family tension.

🔹 Gomez Addams (Luis Guzmán)
Devoted as ever, Gomez revels in being back at Nevermore, where his love story with Morticia began.

🔹 Thing (Victor Dorobantu)
Wednesday’s silent but deadly ally returns, aiding her investigations with his… handy skills.

🔹 Lurch (Joonas Suotamo)
The towering butler gets a new face (literally)—Star Wars’ Chewbacca actor steps into the role.

Nevermore’s Eccentric Inhabitants

🔸 Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers)
Wednesday’s werewolf BFF (though she’d never admit it) embraces her newfound identity—and the social perks that come with it.

🔸 Principal Barry Dort (Steve Buscemi)
Nevermore’s flamboyant new headmaster champions "Outcast Pride" with zero tolerance for normies. A perfect fit for Buscemi’s signature weirdness.

🔸 Slurp (Owen Painter)
The show’s first zombie, resurrected to expose Nevermore’s darkest secrets.

What to Expect

With bigger mysteries, deadlier threats, and more family dysfunction, Season 2 promises to be darker, funnier, and even more unhinged. Will Wednesday crack the case—or will Nevermore’s secrets consume her?
