Wednesday and the rest of the Addams Family are back. You probably know this already. That’s why you’re here. Season 2 premiered its first half last week to the delight of fans everywhere. It’s been a three-year wait, and the return of Netflix’s record-breaking series is worth some celebration.
You hear that sound? That’s me snapping my fingers in approval.
Creators Miles Millar and Alfred Gough previously teased that season 2 will be darker in tone. This new run of episodes “definitely has some moments which are more straightforward horror,” Millar told EW. Praise be.
Jenna Ortega is back as the titular hero, along with returning cast members Isaac Ordonez, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Emma Myers and Victor Dorobantu as Thing. Newcomers to the show include Joanna Lumley as Grandmama Hester Frump, Steve Buscemi as Barry Dort, Nevermore Academy’s new principal, and Lady Gaga as Rosaline Rotwood, a mysterious teacher at Nevermore.
The Grammy-winning artist delivered an epic live performance to close out this year’s Tudum fan event for Netflix. I was there, and it was rather life-affirming. This ain’t hyperbole. Now, rumor has it that Gaga will release a new song, titled Dead Dance, timed to her appearance on the series.
If you needed an extra reason to tune into these new episodes, there you go.
