From Addams icons to sinister newcomers, here’s who’s creeping into Season 2

Snap twice, “Wednesday” is back for Season 2, and the cast of Netflix’s “The Addams Family”-inspired fantasy series goes big this time around. Of course, there are plenty of familiar faces returning, including Jenna Ortega as the titular Wednesday Addams and Season 1 breakout Emma Myers as her werewolf bestie, Enid. But there are also a whole bunch of new faces in the mix, from a new principal at Nevermore Academy (RIP Weems) to new members of the Addams Family itself.

Jenna Ortega plays the iconic Addams Family daughter, Wednesday Addams, a goth psychic teen detective, whose preternatural tenacity and refusal to play by anyone’s rules often put her in the hot seat. In Season 2, she’s struggling to come to terms with her newfound popularity after saving Nevermore Academy from the resurrected anti-Outcast pilgrim, Joseph Crackstone. She’s also exploring the limits of her psychic powers as a Raven; gifted with powerful, dark and unpredictable visions, which she now has to explore without the help of her Season 1 spirit guide, Goody Addams.

Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy-nominated for her “Wednesday” Season 1 performance, Ortega is also known for starring in horror hits “Scream,” “X” and “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” as well as her breakout early roles on “Jane the Virgin” and “You.” More recently, she made a buzzy appearance in Sabrina Carpenter’s homage-heavy “Taste” music video, “Hurry Up Tomorrow” and “Death of a Unicorn.”

Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair

Emma Myers plays Wednesday’s roommate and unlikely BFF, Enid, who is every bit as bright and bubbly as Wednesday is dark and dreary. A total people person, Emma spent Season 1 growing close with Wednesday, cuddling up with her crush Ajax, striking up an unexpected friendship with Thing, and finally, after a lot of shaming from her family, wolfing out at the end of the season. After her transformation, Eden is rediscovering herself in Season 2.

After her breakout role in Season 1, Myers has gone on to star in “Family Switch,” “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder” and Legendary’s 2025 box office smash video game adaptation, “Minecraft.”

Catherine Zeta‑Jones as Morticia Addams

Morticia Addams is every bit as iconic as Wednesday herself, one half of the ultimate goth power couple, though she has a more cheerful disposition than her daughter. That also makes her a different kind of psychic, known as a Dove, who experiences positive visions. She’s also an alumnus of Nevermore Academy, where she was a popular Team Captain for Ophelia Hall and a star pupil. Wednesday already begrudges her mother’s ever-present shadow, and in Season 2, Morticia is more present than ever after she decides to chair the Gala Fundraising Committee at Nevermore.

Catharine Zeta-Jones is a Tony, BAFTA and Academy Award winner, best known for “The Mask of Zorro,” “Traffic,” “High Fidelity,” “Feud” and her Oscar-winning performance as Velma Kelly in “Chicago.”
