The show started filming its second season earlier this year and is set for a 2025 release.
The show was notably filmed in Ireland across various locations.
The showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar said that having Ireland as a filming location was “truly magical”.
“It adds a sense of timeless beauty, wonder and epic spectacle to the world of Wednesday,” they said.
“It’s no coincidence that Dracula author Bram Stokerhailed was from Dublin, and his stories were inspired by the stories of Irish folklore.”
In September, while they were shooting the second season, Jenna Ortega and her Wednesday castmate Emma Myers were seen attending Chappell Roan’s 3Olympia concert in Dublin.
The American actress was seen watching the show, sitting on one of the balconies on the right side of the stage at 3Olympia Theatre on Dame Street in the south city centre on a Tuesday night.
The show will continue where season one left off as a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.
This season, Jenna Ortega will not only be playing the titular character but will be taking on a producer role.
Myers (Enid Sinclair), Sunday (Bianca Barclay), Moosa Mostafa (Eugene), Georgie Farmer (Ajax), and Dorobantu are set to reprise their roles alongside Ortega.
Zeta-Jones (Morticia Addams), Guzmán (Gomez Addams), Isaac Ordonez (Pugsley Addams), and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo (Deputy Ritchie Santiago) have all become series regulars. Jamie McShane (Sheriff Donovan Galpin) and Fred Armisen (Uncle Fester) will stay on as series regulars.
New cast members are set to make their entry stage left into an already star-studded cast including Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Addams Family actor Christopher Lloyd, Joanna Lumley, Thandiwe Newton, Frances O’Connor and Heather Matarazzo.
Buscemi is set to play the new principal of Nevermore Academy, Barry Dort.
He was previously seen in Dublin eating at Bubba’s Fish Market in the south Dublin town and intervened in breaking up a fight that started outside the The Dalkey Duck pub in Dalkey.
Showrunners and executive producers Al Gough and Miles Millar told Tudum that Wednesday’s journey would be “darker and more complex as she navigates family, friends, new mysteries, and old adversaries, propelling her headlong into another year at Nevermore”.
Catherine Zeta-Jones, who plays Wednesday’s mother Morticia, said the season was going to be bigger and more twisted than audiences could ever imagine.
In February 2023, Ortega herself told Tudum that:“[Wednesday] sticks to her guns, and she’s not out to please anybody. Which, as someone who used to be an immense people pleaser, I really respect.”
