What’s New In ‘Wednesday’ Season 2, Part 2?
Wednesday Season 2, Part 1 opened some big creative avenues for the series. To begin with, viewers are getting more of the Addams Family apart from Wednesday in the series, as the storyline has expanded for Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones), Gomez (Luis Guzman) and Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez).
Instead of dropping off Wednesday at Nevermore Academy for her sophomore year, Morticia and Gomez have been invited to stay on campus by the school’s new principal, Barry Dort (Steve Buscemi). Pugsley, meanwhile, is now a freshman at Nevermore and has accidentally reanimated a corpse, whom he names Slurp (Owen Painter).
In addition, Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen) has a greater presence in Season 2, while Morticia’s mother, Grandmama Hester Frump (Joanna Lumley), shows up at Nevermore as a rift between her daughter and granddaughter develops.
Also, fans of Tim Burton’s stop-motion animated films got to experience a Wednesday first, as Episode 1 of Season 2 included a stop-motion sequence from the director’s animation collaborators at Mackinnon and Saunders called The Tale of Skull Tree.
A flashback sequence told in black and white, the 1-minute, 30-second sequence harkens back to Burton’s stop-motion short film classic Vincent, as well as his 2012 Oscar-nominated stop-motion feature Frankenweenie.
Wednesday Season 2, Part 2, meanwhile, reintroduces the late Nevermore Principal Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christine), who now has taken up residence in Wednesday’s consciousness after she was gravely injured at the end of Part 1.
In addition, Lady Gaga makes her hotly anticipated debut in Wednesday Season 2, Part 2 as former Nevermore Academy teacher Rosaline Rotwood. Lady Gaga also debuted a song during Season 2, Part 2, appropriately titled “The Dead Dance.”
Wednesday has already been renewed by Netflix for a third season, but the streaming platform has not yet announced when the show will return.
In the meantime, viewers can stream all 16 episodes of Wednesday Season 1 and Season 2 on Netflix.
