Wednesday Addams Returns and This Time Brings Family Reinforcements
Netflix, in a move as predictable as seeing Wednesday reject a hug, announced that our favorite gothic teenager will return in two parts. Why split it? Probably to give viewers time to practice our blank stare between installments. The first part will arrive in August and the second in September, because even release dates must be dramatic.
"There are no final exams at Nevermore, only survival tests"
Nevermore: Where Bullying Includes Spells and Curses
Nevermore Academy remains that place where the hallways have more secrets than a teenager's diary. This season promises new mysteries, creatures that would make Hogwarts professors seem normal, and a campus that has decided to up the creepiness level. Come on, the perfect atmosphere for Wednesday to feel at home.
- New students: because the previous roster probably ended up in the asylum
- Old rivalries: now with 50% more killer stares
- Family secrets: as if the Addams needed more quirks
The Addams Family Grows (and the World Trembles)
Morticia and Gómez return to give questionable marital advice and prove that love can be as terrifying as a rusty knife. But the real novelty is Grandma Hester, who will surely teach valuable lessons like "how to poison tea and sound polite" or "100 practical uses for mandrake."
The cast expands with stars like Lady Gaga, because what better way to stand out in a bizarre show than adding someone who can turn a meat dress into fashion? And Christopher Lloyd returns to the Addams universe, completing the circle of weirdness.
Behind the Scenes: When Jenna Ortega Calls the Shots
The star not only plays Wednesday, now she also has a creative voice in the production. Which means she probably vetoed all scenes where her character could smile or show empathy. Her most valuable contribution: ensuring that every stare can freeze a viewer's soul from ten meters away.
- Art direction: blacker than an insomniac's coffee
- Wardrobe: as if Morticia had raided a Victorian closet
- Facial expressions: trained to kill any emotion
So mark your calendar (with invisible ink, preferably) the release dates: August 6 and September 3. In the meantime, you can practice your best contemptuous look or learn to knit a sweater for your pet octopus. Because if there's one thing Wednesday teaches us, it's that normal is tremendously overrated. 🖤
