‘Here We Woe Again’: Thing Hand-Delivers ‘Wednesday’ Season Two Script in New Teaser
Everyone’s favorite sentient disembodied hand, Thing, serves up scripts to the cast of Wednesday in the new teaser for Season Two of the hit Addams Family show.
The short clip finds Thing hauling a wheelbarrow full of scripts down a long hallway and dishing them out to the show’s returning and new cast members. His final stop is Wednesday herself, with star Jenna Ortega picking up the pages — delightfully titled, “Here We Woe Again” — and remarking, “Hello, Thing. More torture awaits.”

Along with sharing the teaser, Netflix confirmed casting for Season Two, featuring several new guest stars and series regulars. Thandiwe Newton, Joanna Lumley, Heather Matarazzo, and Haley Joel Osment are all slated for guest appearances, as is Christopher Lloyd, who notably played Fester Addams in the two early-Nineties Addams Family movies. (It doesn’t seem likely that Lloyd will reprise his role, as Fred Armisen currently plays Fester on Wednesday, but perhaps some kind of cloning/multi-verse/time travel situation can be worked out.)
Additionally, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Isaac Ordonez, and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo will all have been upgraded to series regulars for Season Two, while new series regulars include Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, and Noah Taylor.
Creators and showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar shared their excitement for the new season in a statement, saying, “We are thrilled that the entire Addams family will be enrolling in Nevermore Academy this season along with a dream cast of icons and new faces.”
Production on Season Two of Wednesday is underway in Ireland, with the show expected to return in 2025.
