Thandiwe Newton is the latest new cast member to join Netflix’s ‘Wednesday’ season 2.
As per the Variety, Newton will star in the second season of the megahit series. Exact character details are being kept under wraps. She is the latest new cast member to be revealed, as Variety previously reported that Steve Buscemi will also appear in Season 2. However, Representatives for Netflix declined to comment.
Newton is perhaps most notably known for starring in the HBO series ‘Westworld’. She received three Emmy nominations for best supporting actress in a drama for that show, winning the award in 2018. Her other TV credits include ‘The Slap’, ‘Big Mouth’, ‘Human Resources’, and ‘Rogue’.
Wednesday originally debuted in November 2022 and instantly became a massive hit for Netflix. Few details are available about the new season of ‘Wednesday’, aside from the fact Jenna Ortega will return as the titular Addams Family daughter going through her teenage years.
The first season ended with Wednesday successfully solving a series of grisly murders while also thwarting an attempt to destroy Nevermore and its students. Work on Season 2 was delayed due to the writers’ and actors’ strikes that shut down much of Hollywood in 2023, though production is expected to begin in late April in Ireland.
