A Mysterious & Spooky ‘Wednesday’ Season 2 Cast & Characters Guide
Yes, Lady Gaga IS coming... just not yet!
Wednesday is back on Netflix for Season 2. A new year at Nevermore Academy means new students, new teachers, and new threats. Of course, for someone like Wednesday Addams, threats are what makes life worth living. She'd probably prefer to be the one making them instead of investigating and, like, dealing with them. To keep track of who's who and keep up with your favorites, here's your guide to the cast and characters in Wednesday Season 2.
A lot of folks who populated the Netflix series in Season 1 are not back in Season 2 so far, including Gwendoline Christie, Riki Lindhome, and William Houston. To be fair, all three of their characters died in Season 1. For whatever reason, they leave a huge gap that Season 2 has filled with some major players. We haven't even gotten to Lady Gaga's anticipated appearance yet as of Season 2, Part 1! This is who we have so far.
Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams
The infamous daughter and eldest child of the Addams family. In the series, she attends Nevermore Academy for Outcasts. While she aspires to be a novelist, she's also working on honing her psychic abilities. After what happened at the end of Wednesday Season 1, she gets something of a hero's welcome back to school.
Ortega, a former child actress and Disney kid, has become something of a scream queen for the next generation with starring roles in films and television shows including not only Wednesday but also the Scream franchise, X, You, Insidious: Chapter 2, Studio 666, The Babysitter: Killer Queen, and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair
Enid is Wednesday's peppy, technicolor roommate at Nevermore Academy. We'd say that she's the Glinda to Wednesday's Elphaba, but Enid also happens to be a werewolf. She may love things like pink and ponies, but she's just as violent as her bestie.
In between seasons of this show, Myers starred in A Good Girl's Guide to Murder also on Netflix. You might also know her from Family Switch and this year's viral sensation The Minecraft Movie.

Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams
The matriarch of the Addams Family *snap snap* who has psychic abilities just like her daughter and, in Season 2, some unresolved mommy issues that bubble up as she steps into a more active parental role at the school. (Her mother, Hester Frump, is a wealthy mortician played by Joanna Lumley.)
Zeta-Jones won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in Chicago. She also has a Tony Award for the 2009 revival of A Little Night Music, NBD. You might also know her from the Ocean's movies, The Mask of Zorro, and Intolerable Cruelty.
