Attention to all Wednesday fans, your favorite dark comedy just might earn the elusive green light for a second season. Nothing has been confirmed just yet, but the creators of the Netflix series, Tim Burton and Miles Millar, are already teasing plots for the next chapter.
But first, if you somehow ended up here out of (morbid) curiosity: Wednesday, follows the life of Wednesday Addams from the original Addams Family story. In this modern iteration, Wednesday tackles her newfound psychic abilities, a murder mystery, and, of course, a magical high school for unordinary children. The show premiered on November 16, but it’s no surprise Millar and Burton are already hoping for another round. With stellar performances from Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta Jones, Luis Guzmán, and Christina Ricci, the Addams Family spinoff has become a fan-favorite. In just two weeks, the show has bumped its way up to the top of Netflix’s Top 10 list.
According to Millar, he’d like to see more of Wednesday’s perfectly awkward interactions, as she tries (and often… fails) to connect with her peers. In an interview with TV Line, Millar explained how the next chapter could push Wednesday out of her comfort zone. “The series is really about a girl who sees the world in black and white, and learning there are shades of gray,” Millar said. “I think like any relationship or any friendship, it can get complicated by other factors. It’s never going to be smooth sailing. And it’s really her learning to navigate the ups and downs of friendship.”
If Netflix does order a second season of the series, Miller would also like to explore Wednesday’s family members—including her mother, Morticia, her father, Gomez, and brother, Pugsley. “We felt like we just touched the surface with those characters and the actors are so amazing in those roles,” Miler explained, continuing, “Catherine is, I think, an iconic Morticia. The relationship between Wednesday and Morticia is also essential to the show, and the idea that Wednesday is trying to forge her own path outside the family is so important.”
Though Millar is interested in exploring their families dynamics, he did clarify the team would “really want to focus the show on Wednesday,” in Season Two. Well, if we’re lucky, maybe both plots will make it onto our TV screens.
