Tim Burton Reunites With Edward Scissorhands Star in Wednesday Season 2 with Exciting New Cast!

In the second season of “Wednesday,” Tim Burton, who previously directed the iconic film “Edward Scissorhands” in 1990, will rejoin forces with a star from that movie as he serves as executive producer and director for the popular Netflix series. During season 1, Burton helmed four of the eight episodes and is set to direct the same number in season 2. Joining original cast members such as Jenna Ortega are new additions Steve Buscemi, Lady Gaga, Christopher Lloyd, Thandiwe Newton, and Billie Piper.

According to Variety, Anthony Michael Hall has been cast in the second season of “Wednesday,” but the specifics of his role haven’t been revealed yet. In “Edward Scissorhands,” he portrayed Jim, Kim Boggs’ (Winona Ryder) snobbish boyfriend and the film’s antagonist. Since no information is available about Hall’s character in “Wednesday” season 2, it remains undetermined when he will appear and whether it will be in one of the four episodes Tim Burton is directing.

What This Means For Wednesday Season 2

Anthony Michael Hall Becomes Another Frequent Tim Burton Collaborator

Hall has joined the cast of ‘Wednesday’, adding to its growing list of A-list actors, and he follows a pattern set by Burton of collaborating with the same actors across different projects. Since the news about Hall’s role is just breaking now, and his character hasn’t been showcased in the promotional materials for season 2 yet, it seems he might not be a main character. Instead, he’s likely to play a supporting role as the ensemble of characters at Nevermore Academy and the broader supernatural world in the series continue to develop.

Burton often works with actors again, like Jennifer Grey, who starred alongside him in Edward Scissorhands and Beetlejuice, as well as Lydia Deetz. She also voiced Elsa Van Helsing in Frankenweenie, one of Burton’s 2012 animated films. Other actors he frequently collaborates with include Michael Keaton (in five of his films), Johnny Depp (eight films), and Ana Ortiz, who appeared in Beetlejuice after Wednesday season 1. With Wednesday marking Tim Burton’s second project with Linda Hall, she now becomes part of the expanding roster of actors who have worked with him multiple times.

Our Take On Anthony Michael Hall Joining Wednesday Season 2

He Should Be In One Of The Tim Burton-Directed Episodes

Based on their past collaborations, I’m hoping that Hall might appear in an episode of season 2 from the Burton-directed Wednesday. His performance as a formidable villain in Edward Scissorhands demonstrates his ability to portray such roles exceptionally well, especially in stories where humans can act monstrously. This suggests that he could excel as a Wednesday villain too. However, it would also be fascinating to see Hall take on a more heroic character, one who is distinct from Jim, allowing them and Burton to venture into uncharted creative territories together.
