The second season of the supernatural mystery series, which topped Netflix viewership charts as the most popular TV show of all time on the platform, is underway as production has reportedly commenced in Ireland.
The first instalment of The Addams Family spin-off starred Jenna Ortega in the lead, along with Catherine Zeta-Jones, Christina Ricci and Game Of Thrones’ Gwendoline Christie.
Now, a whole host of guest stars have been confirmed for the second season, which is set for a spring 2025 release.
Netflix made the announcement through a teaser trailer, which featured the disembodied hand character, Thing, delivering scripts to the doors of various actors, revealing the characters they will be playing.
Among the new cast are Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Joanna Lumley and Thandie Newton. Not featured in the video but included in the full list of guest stars is original The Addams Family star Christopher Lloyd, whose role is currently unconfirmed.
However, Lloyd, who is also well-known for playing Dr. Emmett “Doc” Brown in the Back To The Future series, portrayed Uncle Fester in the original movies, who is played by Fred Armisen in Wednesday.
The end of the video features Ortega greeting Thing, before picking up the script and announcing: “More torture awaits.”
The cover of Ortega’s script reads: “Chapter One: “Here We Woe Again”, which was written by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, and directed by Tim Burton.
Burton executive produced the series and directed four of the eight episodes in the first season.
Earlier this year, Ortega teased that season two will have “more horror” and is “a lot more action-packed. Each episode will probably feel a little bit more like a movie,” she added.
