Netflix has left fans hanging with some massive cliffhangers that they can not wait for the streaming giant to settle. While Stranger Things gave an Avengers: Endgame-style hook, Wednesday dropped a deadly visual of Hyde taking its full form toward the closing scene. For quite some time, Netflix has been dropping one hint after another, suggesting that this anticipation would soon be resolved. Recently, another tidbit surfaced hinting at the second season of Wednesday being in the works. But, that was not the only shocker.

The report also dropped a bombshell about three new regular roles stepping into the spotlight!

What are these new roles in Wednesday 2?

What’s on Netflix just spilled some exciting news, suggesting that Wednesday Season two is in the works and the makers are on the hunt for three new faces. These new cast members are set to take on the roles of Karloff, Wolfgang, and Annie. Karloff, the first character, will be a young, athletic teenager, sporting prosthetics in the show. Meanwhile, the second character, Wolfgang, is described as a charming and confident teenager. 

Last but not least, Annie, a young girl aged between 12 to 14, will play a whip-smart teenager who is wise beyond her years. There has been no information about these three roles in any of the previous adaptations, whether it was the movie, series, or comic. These three roles will be completely new additions to the franchise, thanks to the Netflix original. Despite being new characters, there is one source that could help fans speculate about the characters. 

The answers to who these three characters are and how they will contribute to the storyline can be found in the Addams Family.

Everything we know about the three new roles

The new season of the show seems to be tracing back to its source, The Addams Family. Many of the show’s diehard fans would remember that Uncle Wolfgang appeared in a 1992 animated episode and is a member of The Addams Family. This raises the possibility that the new role of Wolfgang could be Uncle Wolfgang’s son. Meanwhile, Karloff could be a reinterpretation of Frankenstein, especially since the actor who portrayed Frankenstein in the 1931 movie was Boris Karloff. 

As for Annie, there is not much known about her character. However, she is certainly not the last new role to be featured in the upcoming seasons of Wednesday. As per reports, the filming for Wednesday season 2 will start by the end of April 2024. As the season draws near, fans can expect to look forward to receiving additional insights into the series’ progress.
