According to Variety, Anthony Michael Hall is set to appear in the second season of Wednesday, taking on a secretive role as yet unknown. This casting brings Hall and director Tim Burton together once more, marking a 35-year reunion since their collaboration on the 1990 film Edward Scissorhands, where they both starred alongside Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Dianne Wiest, and the late Vincent Price. In that movie, Hall portrayed Jim, a neighborhood troublemaker driven by envy and possessiveness, ultimately leading to a fateful clash with Edward. Over the years, Hall has also made notable appearances in numerous John Hughes films, including National Lampoon’s Vacation (1983), Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Weird Science.

Alongside Hall and Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, Noah B.

More recently, Jenna Ortega shared some insights from the filming of Wednesday Season 2, expressing that she now feels more “empowered” to voice her opinions openly following criticism about comments related to changes she made within the script.

Christina Ricci, who became famous for her portrayal of the unconventional and witty Wednesday Addams in ‘The Addams Family’ and its sequel ‘Addams Family Values’, spoke about the enduring effect of this iconic role on her life. Ricci admitted that the dark, teenage character she played remains the one she is most associated with, and since a significant part of her childhood was spent embodying Wednesday, she continues to feel a strong bond with the character even after many years have passed. “She had a profound impact on me and my career,” said Ricci.

In other words, the first half of Season 2 for the series “Wednesday” is set to premiere on Netflix on August 6, and the remaining episodes will follow suit, airing on September 3.
