Meet the New Favorite Character in Wednesday Season 2 You Can’t Miss

In the upcoming season 2 of “Wednesday,” a fresh addition to the cast is highly anticipated and seems poised to become my top pick. Notable actors joining the new “Wednesday” cast include Steve Buscemi, Christopher Lloyd (who portrayed Uncle Fester in the ’90s movies), and music sensation Lady Gaga. The popular Addams Family series on Netflix will bring Wednesday Addams, played by Jenna Ortega, back to Nevermore Academy following her challenging first year and action-packed summer vacation, as hinted at in the latest “Wednesday” clip released by Netflix.

It appears that the second season of “Wednesday” is poised to surpass its predecessor in all aspects. This time around, Wednesday may unravel an even greater mystery, and it seems the Addams family will be more involved than ever before. Notably, Pugsley will attend Nevermore Academy alongside Wednesday, and there are hints that Morticia and Gomez Addams will be spotted at the school more frequently. What’s particularly intriguing is that a new member of the Addams Family is set to join the cast this season, making it even more enticing.

Joanna Lumley’s Grandmama Is Already My Favorite New Character In Wednesday Season 2

The Head Of The Addams Family Already Seems Fabulous

I’m absolutely thrilled that Joanna Lumley is set to appear in the cast of Wednesday season 2, taking on the role of Grandmama. According to Netflix’s character description, Hester Frump will be portrayed as a wealthy mortuary magnate, known for her impeccable hairstyle, emotional detachment, and biting wit. This new interpretation of Grandmama or Hester Frump represents a significant shift from previous versions of these Addams Family characters, who have at times been separate entities in the series.

In previous portrayals of Grandmama Frump, her appearance was rather disheveled, with messy hair and outdated clothing. However, it seems that Joanna Lumley’s interpretation of Hester Frump is going to be a much more fashionable and contemporary version of the character, providing ample material for Wednesday to make witty comments about. Netflix’s description hints that Grandmama might just be Wednesday’s favorite person, which could lead to an interesting dynamic as she clashes with Morticia during season 2 of Wednesday, adding a fresh twist to the series.

Grandmama Is Set To Be A Major Scene-Stealer In Wednesday Season 2

Joanna Lumley Has Always Been Great

With Joanna Lumley set to portray Grandmama in the Addams Family, the already captivating character of Hester Frump promises an even more enticing performance. Given that Joanna’s talent is well-known for her ability to deliver both dramatic intensity and comic relief, it’s safe to say that Grandmama will certainly stir up some tension between Morticia and Wednesday. As it seems Wednesday admires her grandmother, this dynamic is bound to create an intriguing narrative twist.

In many aspects, Joanna Lumley’s versatility in acting stands out, particularly when reflecting on her diverse roles. With exceptional skills in both comedic and dramatic performances, she has left an indelible mark on the industry. Lumley is renowned for her role as Patsy Stone from the comedy series Absolutely Fabulous. She has also graced the screen in films such as Trail of the Pink Panther, Ella Enchanted, The Wolf of Wall Street, and collaborated with Tim Burton on the 2005 animated film Corpse Bride (for which he served as an executive producer for the upcoming series Wednesday).

Given her impressive range, Lumley seems to be an ideal candidate for a more sophisticated yet intensely dramatic role such as Grandmama.

The Showrunners Already Teased Grandmama’s Return In Wednesday Season 3

The Show’s Creators Have A Plan For Future Seasons

It seems that the creators of Wednesday, Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, have taken notice of how perfectly Joanna Lumley embodies Grandmama Frump in season 2 of the show. In a conversation with Entertainment Weekly, they hinted at some intriguing aspects of the upcoming second season, revealing tidbits about Grandmama’s role. Millar commented: “She brings a unique twist to the Addams family that adds an enjoyable dose of chaos and excitement.” This suggests that Grandmama is likely to introduce more turmoil and amusement into the family dynamics in the new season.

As a dedicated fan of the Addams Family series, I can’t help but feel excited about the potential return of Grandmama in season 3. Although there’s no official word on the renewal just yet, given the massive popularity of Wednesday on Netflix, it seems like only a matter of time before we get to see more of this captivating show. I can hardly wait to witness Joanna Lumley breathe life into Grandmama’s iconic character should she make a comeback in season 3!
