Thandiwe Newton joins 'Wednesday' cast for Season 2

Netflix's Addams Family spinoff, 'Wednesday,' is gearing up for its second season with the addition of Thandiwe Newton to the cast. Newton, known for her roles in Westworld and Mission: Impossible 2, will be joining Jenna Ortega in the upcoming season. Details about Newton's character remain under wraps as Netflix keeps the suspense alive.

Following the success of Season 1, which emphasized horror elements over romantic storylines, Ortega hinted at a darker and more action-packed Season 2. With promises of more one-liners and a movie-like feel to each episode, fans can expect an intensified viewing experience.

Newton's character will be accompanied by Steve Buscemi, set to portray the new principal of Nevermore Academy. Netflix's 'Wednesday' has been a hit, ranking as the streamer's second-most-watched show by December 2022. The platform's success with the spinoff has led to talks of another series centered around Uncle Fester.

Despite initial hesitations, Ortega's portrayal of Wednesday received positive reviews, with the first season earning a 7/10 rating. The show's popularity and critical acclaim have set the stage for an exciting continuation in Season 2.
