The next season of the Addams Family spinoff, WEDNESDAY is set to begin filming for Netflix and today we have learned that Westworld alum Thandiwe Newton is joining the already very impressive ensemble.
Variety broke the news, but doesn't share any details on Newton's character. We learned last week that Steve Buscemi (Reservoir Dogs, Fargo) will also appear in an undisclosed role.
Plot details are still under wraps, but star Jenna Ortega did give us some idea of what to expect during a 2023 interview with Variety, revealing that season 2 is going to go darker and drop "any romantic love interest."
"It’s still coming together, but we’ve decided we want to lean into the horror more. We’re ditching any romantic love interest, which is really great. We’re going to get bolder, more dark."
Newton has numerous film and TV credits to her name, including The Slap, Big Mouth, Human Resources, and Rogue. On the big screen, she's appeared in the likes of Interview With the Vampire, Crash, Beloved, The Pursuit of Happyness, Solo: A Star Wars Story, and W. She received three Emmy nominations for best supporting actress in a drama for her role in HBO's Westworld.
