Lynn Rusk previews Wednesday Season 2
-
Wednesday Addams is one of the coolest characters of all time, according to actress Jenna Ortega, “so getting the opportunity to play her once again was incredible”.
The 22-year-old American reprises her role as the morbid, sharp-witted teenager with psychic powers in the second season of the gothic Netflix hit Wednesday.
Directed once again by Tim Burton, the new season sees Wednesday return to the halls of Nevermore Academy, where fresh foes and woes await.
The cast expands with several notable additions, including Dame Joanna Lumley as Grandmama, Steve Buscemi as Barry Dort, the new principal of Nevermore and Billie Piper as Isadora Capri, the school's new head of music.
Ortega, who earned both Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for her performance in season one, says she was thrilled to step back into Wednesday's shoes.
"Getting to play someone who's so much more intelligent than you will ever be is quite funny, strange, and enjoyable," she says. "She runs circles around everyone she talks to."
