The Enigmatic New Addition: Unveiling Wednesday Season 2's Mysterious Character!

During the Netflix Tudum event, it was announced that a new member of the Addams family would be joining Wednesday season 2. In the first season, only immediate family members of the titular character were featured, but the upcoming season will introduce a relative from the extended Addams Family. With numerous options to choose from, the question remains: which character will it be? Taking place on June 17th, 2023, the annual Tudum event by Netflix showcased exclusive content, interviews, trailers, and updates on upcoming projects, including the exciting news about the addition to Wednesday season 2's cast.

10 Cousin Itt

Cousin Itt made his debut in the popular sitcom, The Addams Family, and quickly became one of the most unforgettable characters among the eccentric Addams clan. Sporting long hair that covered him entirely, from head to toe, and front to back, this cousin of Gomez would occasionally pay a visit to the Addams mansion, finding refuge in the attic (although he had a penchant for sleeping in the chimney). Given his purely comedic nature, it might pose a challenge to incorporate him into Wednesday without compromising the show's darker tone. However, in a nod to fans, Cousin Itt received a subtle mention in season 1 of Wednesday, leaving the possibility open for his appearance in the future.

9 Grandmama Addams

Grandmama Addams did not make an appearance in season 1 of Wednesday, despite being a resident of the Addams Family mansion and a recurring character in previous adaptations of the Addams Family. However, it is highly likely that she will appear in season 2, especially since the first season's finale showed Wednesday returning home from school after the events of Crackstone's resurrection, with Nevermore repairing the damage. It is easy to imagine Grandmama Addams eagerly awaiting her granddaughter's arrival.

8 Another Descendant Of Goody Addams

Though Netflix's Tundum event announced the addition of another member to the Addams family in Wednesday season 2, it is important to note that this doesn't necessarily imply it will be someone from The Addams Family itself. In the first season, Wednesday's spectral ancestor, Goody, was technically considered an Addams. Hence, this hint could imply the introduction of a different ancestor who will aid Wednesday in her upcoming intriguing enigma. However, for those eagerly anticipating the return of their beloved Addams Family characters, this possibility might be somewhat disappointing. Therefore, it would be ideal if this scenario turns out to be otherwise.

7 Pubert Addams

In the original Addams Family comic strips and sitcom, Gomez and Morticia only had two children, Wednesday and Pugsley. However, the 1992 movie Addams Family Values introduced a new addition to the family. They welcomed baby Pubert, who Wednesday and Pugsley initially saw as a threat and attempted to get rid of, fearing that he would replace one of them. While Wednesday had previously implied that she and Pugsley were the only Addams children, it's possible that Pubert was at home with a sitter, such as Grandmama, when the family visited Nevermore. Alternatively, Gomez and Morticia might have some exciting news to share in the second season of Wednesday.

6 What Addams

Another member of the next generation of Addamses introduced in Addams Family Values is What Addams. He is the son of Cousin Itt and Aunt Margaret (Itt's wife in the 1990s Addams Family movies). Resembling his father, What is completely covered in long brown hair, while often seen with a pacifier in his mouth. If What were to spend time with Wednesday, Cousin Itt would likely accompany him. However, there is a possibility that Gomez and Morticia (or even Wednesday herself) might have to babysit the hairy baby at some point in Wednesday, season 2.

5 Pancho Addams

In season 2 of Wednesday, another Addams brother, Pancho Addams, could make an appearance, adding more complexity to the family dynamics. Pancho was introduced in the 1977 Halloween TV special called Halloween with the New Addams Family, which served as a reunion for the Addams Family sitcom. Interestingly, it was revealed that Pancho had once courted Morticia before she married Gomez. This revelation opens up the possibility of an intriguing twist in the storyline. Given that the Netflix series has delved into Morticia and Gomez's backstory, it is likely that they will continue to explore and expand upon these relationships.

4 Lady Fingers

Thing was not the only disembodied hand in the Addams Family sitcom. In one episode, a character named Princess Millicent von Schlepp visited the Addamses and brought her handmaiden, Lady Fingers, with her. Surprisingly, Thing and Lady Fingers quickly fell in love and before we knew it, they were engaged. Eventually, they even got married in a Halloween-themed episode of the New Addams Family. It would be interesting to see how Wednesday would change the story of their meeting, but it could be a delightful twist to give Thing a romantic interest in the second season. This would not only add a new dynamic to the show, but it would also fulfill the promise of introducing a new member to the Addams family.

3 Great Auntie Sloom Addams

In the 2019 version of The Addams Family, Great Auntie Sloom, Grandmama Addams' sister, arrives at the Addams mansion to assist in preparing Pugsley for his Mazurka. Known for her high standards, she eventually shows a hint of approval after witnessing Pugsley's bravery in protecting the Addams family home from the unruly neighbors. Given that this iteration of The Addams Family is the most recent prior to Wednesday, there is a possibility that Great Auntie Sloom could make an appearance in the upcoming Netflix series, potentially in season 2.

2 Ophelia Frump

Ophelia, although not an Addams by blood, is still considered a family member through marriage. In the Addams Family sitcom, she played the role of Morticia's sister, similar to Enid's character in the Netflix series. Unlike her sister and the rest of the Addamses, Ophelia was portrayed as bright, cheerful, and a bit foolish. It is worth mentioning that her original storyline involved being engaged to Gomez, which is not the case in the Wednesday story. Interestingly, the room occupied by Wednesday and Enid at Nevermore is named Ophelia Hall, a detail that both Wednesday and Morticia commented on. However, the absence of any mention of Ophelia in Wednesday suggests that there was no intention to include her character in the storyline.

1 Granny Frump

Season 2 of Wednesday could delve into Morticia's relationship with her own mother, providing an intriguing parallel to the exploration of Wednesday's bond with her mom in Season 1. While Granny Frump was initially introduced in the original Addams Family comic strips as the resident of the Addams mansion, the sitcom retconned her character by making her Gomez's mother instead of Morticia's. However, a new version of Granny Frump was later introduced in the series, revealing a strained relationship between her and Morticia due to Granny's favoritism towards Ophelia. Including this dynamic in the show could effectively expand the Frump side of the family, adding further depth to the mysterious and spooky narrative.
