As the second season of Wednesday is gearing up for production later this month, Variety has reported a new face is coming to Nevermore Academy. Boardwalk Empire and Miracle Workers star Steve Buscemi has joined the series in a mystery role.
There is no information on who he is playing, but Variety does note their sources saying Buscemi will play the new principal of Nevermore after the death of Gwendoline Christie’s Principal Larissa Weems in the first season.
Wednesday saw Jenna Ortega take on the role of the fan-favourite Wednesday Addams as she began attending the supernatural school of Nevermore Academy and became entangled in a series of grisly murders, trying to discover the culprit and how it could lead to Nevermore’s destruction.
Starring alongside Jenna Ortega in season one was Emma Myers, Gwendoline Christie, Jamie McShane, Percy Hynes White, Hunter Doohan, Joy Sunday, Naomi J. Ogawa, Moosa Mostafa, Georgie Farmer, Riki Lindhome and Christina Ricci. Catherine Zeta-Jones also appeared as Morticia Addams, Luis Guzmán as Gomez and Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley.
Wednesday was created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar with Tim Burton executive producing and directing several episodes of the first season. Season two is scheduled to begin filming in Ireland around the end of the month.
