Start the Week with Wednesday!
Tim Burton and the incredibly talented cast and crew of “Wednesday” have done it again. Season 2 has received a lot of attention since it’s two-part release over the summer on Netflix. Part 1 was released on August 6, and Part 2 was released on September 3.
Once again, the show’s creators have delivered another successful and spooky season of Tim Burton’s new cult classic. Tim Burton directed the first and very last four episodes, while the remaining episodes were directed by Angela Robinson and Paco Cabezas.
The familiar Addams family members are back. Jenna Ortega stars as Wednesday Addams and kills it on screen again, quite literally, along with her on-screen family members: Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia, Luis Guzman as Gomez and Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley- the Addams family crew.
“Wednesday” Welcomes New Characters
There are a few newcomers this season: Steve Buscemi as Principal Dort, Eve Templeton as Wednesday’s new classmate Agnes and Lady Gaga as the mysterious Rosaline Rotwood.
This series picked up where it left off in Season 1. Wednesday returns to Nevermore Academy, only this time, her brother Pugsley is enrolled with her, and there is a new principal on campus. Uncle Fester is still on the loose and Wednesday’s psychic abilities and visions are getting much stronger, more intense and vivid.
She has a premonition that her dearest friend, Enid Sinclair, will die, so she does everything she possibly can to see if she can change her unfortunate fate. She also stumbles upon old family secrets involving her parents, Morticia and Gomez, from when they were students at Nevermore Academy many years ago.
Will she unveil the undisclosed skeletons and dark secrets of the Addams family past? Will she find a way to change her friend’s fateful and deadly prophecy?
If you’re looking for a lively, spooky and kooky series to dive into, this masterpiece is for you. The cinematography, the writing and the brilliant cast are what make a show like this stand out from the rest.
Be sure to check out “Wednesday” on Netflix-currently streaming and just in time for Halloween.
Get your hatchets ready and tune in. This is one you don’t want to miss.
