Fresh foes and woes await Wednesday Addams this August. Netflix released a clip of the first six minutes of “Wednesday” Season 2 at fan event Tudum on Saturday — which revealed that Haley Joel Osment will be playing a serial killer called the Kansas City Scalper.
“I’m tied up in a serial killer’s basement. Who said nightmares don’t come true?” Wednesday (Jenna Oretga) says at the beginning of the clip, surrounded by creepy dolls. In voice-over, she goes on to explain that she spent her summer vacation hunting down the Kansas City Scalper. After she confronts him, he restrains her, then shows her a doll he’s made to look like her. “Let me show you some of my own handiwork,” she says before using her psychic abilities to free herself and attack him.
Along with Ortega, cast members returning to “Wednesday” are Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Moosa Mostafa, Georgie Farmer, Victor Dorobantu, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo, Jamie McShane and Fred Armisen. Season 2 will also feature new series regulars Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter and Noah Taylor. Besides Osment, guest stars are Christopher Lloyd, Joanna Lumley, Thandiwe Newton, Frances O’Connor, Heather Matarazzo and Joonas Suotamo will appear as guest stars. Lady Gaga is also joining the cast in a mystery role.
“Wednesday” became a massive hit for Netflix when it debuted in November 2022, eventually becoming the streamer’s most-watched TV season of all time. Part 1 of Season 2 premieres Aug. 6, followed by Part 2 on Sept. 3.
