Wednesday season 2 cast , with the show’s second installment also set to introduce a slew of new faces, including Joanna Lumley, Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Thandiwe Newton, Christopher Lloyd, and Lady Gaga.

Speaking with ScreenRant for A Minecraft Movie, due for theatrical release on April 4, Myers spoke about her forthcoming return as the effervescent Enid in Wednesday season 2. Suggesting that she prefers Wednesday season 2 over the show’s debut outing, Myers also revealed that the show’s next chapter will feature multiple Easter eggs and satisfying character arcs. Check out her comments below:

I like season 2 better than season 1, honestly. I think there's a lot of cool little Easter eggs. I think everybody's characters in this next season... I think people are gonna be happy with the development. Yeah, it's a fun season. So I'm very excited for people to see it.

What Emma Myers' Comments Mean For Wednesday Season 2

The Returning Show Has A Huge Benchmark To Meet

Responsible for accumulating 1 billion viewing hours by December 2022, the response to the streaming release of Wednesday season 1 was overwhelmingly positive. Reinvigorating widespread interest in the long-running Addams Family franchise, the show’s debut was an unquestionable success story for creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar and director Tim Burton.

With many viewers already more interested in exploring Wednesday’s odd-couple pairing with Enid in favor of another forced love-triangle scenario, Myers’ faith in the new season will likely come as good news for fans eager for the show’s return.

Building on the precedent set by season 1’s monumental success, the weight of expectations being placed on Wednesday season 2 are enormous. Not only does the new season need to contend with the controversial departure of Percy Hynes White, but Ortega has already hinted that the new season will seek to distance itself from the romantic themes of season 1 in favor of a greater emphasis on horror elements.
