Wednesday Addams managed to land as well as expected. While the concept of the Addams family has existed since the 1960s, it has managed to remain relevant to this day. There have been several remakes of the show, exploring the fantastic family dynamic and antics of each member. Netflix blessed its fans by bringing the family’s old-world charm into the modern day through the series Wednesday.

Wednesday casts Jenna Ortega in the lead with the series mostly focusing on her character. The series released its first season recently through the lens of Corpse Bride maker Tim Burton. But what can we expect in season 2? Ortega reveals her plans and wishes for the next season.

Jenna Ortega explains the one change she would want to see in season 2 of Wednesday

Netflix aimed perfectly by bringing the dark charm of the Addams family through her character in Wednesday. The first season was well-received, which means season 2 can be expected to roll in the future. However, we still don’t know what the next installment might entail. Meanwhile, the show’s lead actress Jenna Ortega explained what she wants out of season 2, “I want her to get more in the nitty-gritty of things and not play things so safe because there are a lot of lines about her saving the school and doing whatever, but for me, her main drive with the monster is of competitiveness.” She wants her character to be seen as an anti-hero rather than a hero.

The aim is not to make her villainous but to explore her dark desire and morbid characteristics while still maintaining her humane side and hobbies. So far, her murderous streak has kept fans on their toes, mixed with the song numbers and adventures. The Nevermore Academy’s decision over Wednesday’s expulsion will be revealed as the series continues. Questions like what happened to Principal Weems and whether Hyde is still on loose will also probably be answered in a season 2.
