Netflix teases darker 'Wednesday' season with new cast photos
Netflix announces a return to the dark world of "The Addams Family" in the second season of "Wednesday," presenting new material with Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams and a photo of the title character played by Jenna Ortega.
Fans can prepare for more incredible adventures as the second season of "Wednesday" is on its way. What's it about? The creators hint that the next installment of the story might be significantly darker than the first. Morticia Addams, played by Catherine Zeta-Jones, will do everything she can to protect her daughter. However, the dangers lurking at Nevermore Academy will make surviving the next semester a challenge.
More plot details of the second season remain a mystery, so viewers will have to wait to find out what happens to the Addams family. At the end of the first season, the relationship between Wednesday and her mother improved, which may indicate a larger role for Morticia in the upcoming episodes.
The first season, which premiered in 2022, introduced Jenna Ortega as Wednesday—an outsider with the ability to see the future. Reluctant to attend Nevermore Academy, where her parents studied, she quickly becomes entangled in a dangerous conspiracy. She is forced to use her abilities to find the mysterious creature responsible for a series of murders near the school.

Catherine Zeta-Jones, before taking on the role of Morticia, appeared as Vivian Capshaw in "Prodigal Son." After "Wednesday," she starred in the lead role in "National Treasure: Edge of History." Her portrayal of Morticia Addams has become one of the most recognizable in recent years.
Netflix has already shared the first materials from the second season while announcing the end of filming. In the photo, we see Jenna Ortega in the characteristic attire and hairstyle of the main character. The dark atmosphere is evident. Meanwhile, Catherine Zeta-Jones appeared in a short film.
