July 3 2025, Published 9:00 a.m. ET
Jenna Ortega
After her remarkable portrayal of the titular character in Wednesday Season 1, Jenna Ortega will be back as Wednesday Addams in the upcoming season of the hit Netflix series.
"Nothing is what it seems in Season 2," creator Miles Millar told Tudum. "Wednesday goes into this season thinking she knows Nevermore. It's the first time she's returned to a school willingly. But as soon as she gets back, nothing happens that she's expecting. She thinks she's going to be in control, that she knows where all the bodies are buried, and she doesn't."
Hunter Doohan
With Wednesday's return, fans will also see Hunter Doohan's Tyler Galpin again!
Emma Myers
Emma Myers will reprise her role as Wednesday's roommate, Enid Sinclair, in Wednesday Season 2.
In an April interview with Variety, Myers confessed she was initially "scared to go back" to the franchise.
"Because I remember watching scenes of myself from Season 1 and being like, 'I don't know if I can re-create this now. It's been so long,'" she admitted. "But when we got to the table read, it immediately came back, like nothing had changed. I think I've lived with Enid for so long, it comes very naturally now."
Joy Sunday
Like the main stars, Joy Sunday also signed back on for Wednesday Season 2 as Bianca Barclay.
"I think it's so natural for her and Wednesday to have a little bit of competition. I'm really excited to see their friendship bloom alongside that," Sunday said of her and Ortega's characters.
Catherine Zeta-Jones
Catherine Zeta-Jones said doing a second season "was just wonderful."
"The great Jenna Ortega, who really runs the show — I can't say enough about her as a young woman, as an actor, and actually she's producing this second season. It was pretty impressive to watch. And we have a whole array of new actors coming in," she told Deadline. "I think everyone's waited long enough for season 2 and they will not be disappointed."
The Oscar-winning actress will reprise her role as Morticia Addams in Season 2.
Isaac Ordonez
Wednesday fans will see Isaac Ordonez's Pugsley Addams harness the power of static electricity in the next season!

Luis Guzmán, who plays Gomez Addams again in Wednesday Season 2, teased what viewers can expect from the upcoming installment.
"I say the first season came out and it blew the lid off everything, and the second season was like me telling these guys, 'How you going to outdo Season 1?' And they went above and beyond. I will tell you, the world will be amazed by what they see in Season 2," he told Movieweb.
Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo
Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo will come back as a series regular in the second season, playing Ritchie Santiago.
