Wednesday Season 2: Did You Spot These Surprise Guests

The second season of ‘Wednesday’ returned again to the complicated terrain of the venerable Nevermore Academy. And with some new faces on board.

Wednesday Season 2 that not only introduces a new mystery but also the darkest corners of Nevermore Academy. So, once again, the Addams’ eldest daughter (Jenna Ortega), has the complicated mission of discovering the criminal who tries to attack the school’s select community. This, while he struggles with his own demons—sometimes literally—and his increasingly powerful psychic gifts.

The truth is that the new installment of one of Netflix’s most popular series returns with a more complex, dense, and richer story in details. Which includes exploring a new level in their characters. From the Addams family, who are now an essential part of life on the Academy’s campus, to new students, all with a dense and suspicious past to delve into.

From the hand of producer Tim Burton, the story of Wednesday seems to set the stage for a plot twist that will take its protagonist into mortal danger. One that she barely seems to have survived at the end of the first part of the season and that will take her to new risks in the second. But while all that is happening, the plot also has time to follow new characters. Even for brief appearances that give their special personality to the plot.

To prove it, we leave you with the best cameos of the first part of the second season of Wednesday. From a familiar face who returns to terrorize—and make it clear that he never stopped stalking — an old acquaintance of the Addams in a special appearance. All for lovers of the series and also, of the wide world of the sinister family favorite of the entertainment world.

Thandiwe Newton as Dr. Fairburn

Willow Hill Hospital became the scene of a series of mysterious events in the second season of Wednesday. Which included discovering the final fate of Marilyn Thornhill (Christina Ricci) after the events of the first installment. But in addition, the director of the institution seems to know much more than she says, in the midst of the mysterious seasonal murders.

Of course, Thandiwe Newton is an old acquaintance for film and television lovers. From the Oscar-winning Collision (2005), to the second part of Mission Impossible. In addition, going through the remembered Westworld and his memorable participation in E.R.: Urgencias. The truth is that the actress is an interesting, albeit very short, addition to the series.

Heather Matarazzo as Judi

But in Willow Hill, there are also other characters of interest to the series and, in particular, to fans of 90s cinema. One of the most notable is Judi, Dr. Fairburn’s executive assistant at Willow Hill and Wednesday’s nemesis most of the time.

Played by Heather Matarazzo, although she has little time in the plot, it is evident that it will be much more than just the attentive listening of Dr. Fairburn. Does his face look familiar? You’re right: it’s Lilly, Anne Hathaway’s best friend in 2001’s Surprise Surprise.

Christopher Lloyd as Professor Orloff

Professor Orloff, who appears primarily as a severed head, is a full professor at Nevermore Academy. Played by beloved actor Christopher Lloyd, you’re sure to remember him for the obvious. He played Uncle Lucas Addams in the Addams film saga in the early 1990s.

Joonas Suotamo as Lurch

The Addams family’s butler and chauffeur was played in the first season by George Burcea, but the actor did not return due to personal inconveniences. So his place is taken by the interpreter Joonas Suotamo, who has an illustrious career in unusual characters. And even if you don’t remember him, you’ve already seen him.

The actor portrayed Chewbacca in several modern Star Wars films, including Solo: A Star Wars Story, Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens, Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi, and Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker.

Haley Joel Osment as Kansas City Reseller

The doll-obsessed serial killer who stalks and kidnaps Wednesday is played by Haley Joel Osment. A curious role, being that the actor is remembered for another disturbing character: little Cole in M. Night Shyamalan’s The Sixth Sense.
