Following the addition of Steve Buscemi to the cast of Netflix's second season of Wednesday, the latest addition to the cast is actor Thandiwe Newton, best known for films like Beloved, Mission: Impossible 2, and The Pursuit of Happyness. 

Based on the character Wednesday Addams from the Addams Family, a multimedia franchise created by American cartoonist Charles Addams, the series is created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. It stars Jenna Ortega in the titular role. 

The upcoming season of Wednesday will see Jenna Ortega reprising her role as the titular Addams Family scion navigating her teenage years at the sinister school. The first season, which debuted in November 2022, ended with Wednesday successfully solving a series of grisly murders while also thwarting an attempt to destroy Nevermore and its students.

Apart from Jenna, the show's first-season cast includes Gwendoline Christie, Riki Lindhome, and Jamie McShane, among others. Details regarding the plot and release date are yet to be revealed by the makers.
