Wednesday Season 2’s Dance Scene Follow-Up Revealed

by

The trailer for the second season of “Wednesday,” which was released on a Wednesday, confirms a continuation of the events from season 1’s most popular scene. Since its premiere in 2022, “Wednesday” has been one of Netflix’s highest-viewed series. The portrayal of Wednesday Addams by Jenna Ortega was widely praised, as were the episodes directed by filmmaker Tim Burton. It didn’t take long for Netflix to approve a second season of “Wednesday.” In addition to Ortega and many other returning cast members, the new season will also include Lady Gaga, Thandiwe Newton, Steve Buscemi, and Christopher Lloyd.

With such a long break, the anticipation is sky-high for the second season, given the massive impact that the first one made, turning into a pop culture sensation. A major factor behind this success was the captivating dance sequence featuring Ortega in ‘Wednesday’, which took place during the annual ball at Nevermore Academy called the Rave’N. This specific scene, where Wednesday showcased her unique dancing skills, went viral, inspiring numerous content creators to post videos emulating her moves on the dance floor. It’s challenging to duplicate or exceed this scene’s impact, but the season 2 trailer hints at a continuation of the storyline.

Wednesday Season 2’s Dance Scene Follow-Up Is Seemingly A Waltz Between Gomez & Morticia

Their Relationship Remains Unparalleled

In the trailer for season 2 that dropped on a Wednesday, there’s a scene showing Gomez, played by Luis Guzmán, and Morticia, portrayed by Catherine Zeta-Jones, engaging in a waltz. This romantic dance choice seems fitting for this iconic couple, who are renowned for their passionate love story and long-lasting bond. It looks like the waltz of Gomez and Morticia might serve as a continuation to Wednesday’s dance from season 1, hinting at a new generation of the Addams family making an impression through their dancing skills.

In this new season, it’s Gomez and Morticia who are set to dance prominently, reflecting the increased roles for other Addams family members as previously suggested. Compared to season 1 where Wednesday was almost always present, the rest of the family had fewer appearances. However, in season 2, we can expect more involvement from them, such as Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez), Wednesday’s brother, gaining powers and attending Nevermore Academy.

Morticia & Gomez’s Season 2 Scene Looks Like A Callback To Their Addams Family Values Dance

Wednesday Continues To Pay Homage To The Movies

In the 1993 film “Addams Family Values,” the characters Gomez, portrayed by Raul Julia, and Morticia, played by Anjelica Huston, performed a captivating dance together. The way Gomez and Morticia waltz in season 2 of “Wednesday” seems to echo their dance from “Addams Family Values.” This isn’t the first time that the Netflix series has acknowledged previous “Addams Family” movies. One notable instance is the casting of Christina Ricci, who played Wednesday in both “The Addams Family” and “Addams Family Values,” as Marilyn Thornhill/Laurel Gates in season 1 of “Wednesday.

In the 1993 movie and the season 2 trailer, there’s a consistent display of dance moves and energy between Gomez and Morticia. However, unlike in the movie where they danced in front of a crowd during “Addams Family Values”, the upcoming season shows them dancing alone, which could make Wednesday’s scene more romantic and intimate. This solitary setting is likely to accentuate Gomez and Morticia’s chemistry and deep-seated affection for each other effectively.

Will Season 2 Have Another Big Wednesday Addams Dance Scene?

There Could Be Room For Multiple Generations To Dance In Season 2

Instead of Gomez and Morticia’s dance appearing particularly endearing, it seems that for Season 2 to create another buzzing moment, it might be more effective to include a scene where Wednesday and her Nevermore Academy classmates are seen dancing together. While Gomez and Morticia are delightful characters, the younger audience may not connect as strongly with their waltz as they did with Wednesday’s unconventional dance moves. Given that Season 2 focuses on a new academic year at Nevermore Academy, there’s an opportunity for another “Rave’N” event featuring fresh choreography that could potentially spark a new viral trend.

Given that Tim Burton incorporated a significant dance sequence with Ortega in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, it’s plausible that a dance scene involving Wednesday might feature in one of the episodes he is directing for season 2. There could be another dance from Wednesday, but only if it enhances the narrative. The dance in season 1 wasn’t intended to start a viral trend, and attempting to recreate it might seem forced. Instead, it might be more fitting for Gomez and Morticia’s waltz to be the only dance seen in Wednesday’s season 2.
