Wednesday’ Season 2 Casting Three New Season Regulars
The upcoming season of “Wednesday” is set to introduce three new regular characters. Here’s a glimpse of the roles and their descriptions, according to reliable sources:
1. Karloff: This character is set to be portrayed by a young, athletic male teen who will don prosthetics. The role suggests a connection to Boris Karloff, the actor often associated with the character of Frankenstein.
2. Wolfgang: Described as a charming and confident male teen, Wolfgang may have ties to Uncle Wolfgang, a character featured in a 1992 animated episode and a relative of the Addams Family.
3. Annie: A whip-smart and wise young girl aged between 12 to 14, Annie is expected to bring a fresh dynamic to the series.
Speculation arises about potential links to characters from the Addams Family universe. While Uncle Wolfgang could be a relative of the animated version, Karloff might have ties to the Frankenstein storyline. However, these connections are yet to be confirmed.
The existing cast members also share their thoughts on potential characters. Cousin Itt is mentioned by Ortega in the TUDUM video, and Doohan and Sunday express interest in seeing Wednesday’s grandmother in the upcoming season.
For Season 2, most of the original cast is expected to return, with two exceptions. Gwendoline Christie will not be reprising her role, considering her character’s fate in the first season. Additionally, Percy Hynes White, who played Xavier Thorpe, is not returning, and it’s unclear whether the character will be recast or written out.
Casting details for the new roles are anticipated in the New Year, preceding the start of filming in Ireland in Spring 2024.
