After the global phenomenon that was Wednesday Season 1, expectations were sky-high for its return. With its gothic aesthetics, offbeat humor, and a captivating lead performance by Jenna Ortega, the series managed to revive the beloved Addams Family legacy for a new generation.

Prior to Wednesday, Ortega was best known for her role as Ellie Alves in the second season of You, but she actually got her start as a child actress. The California native portrayed young Jane on Jane the Virgin from 2014 to 2019 and was later cast as Harley Diaz in Disney Channel's Stuck in the Middle.

Christopher Lloyd joins “Wednesday” Season 2 as Professor Orloff, the oldest and strictest teacher at Nevermore. The casting marks a return to the Addams Family universe for Lloyd, as he previously played Uncle Fester in the 1991 film “The Addams Family” and reprised the role in 1993’s “Addams Family Values.”
