New guest stars include Joanna Lumley as Grandmama,Thandiwe Newton as Dr. Fairburn, Christopher Lloyd, Frances O’Connor, Haley Joel Osment, Heather Matarazzo, and Joonas Suotamo.
Lloyd notably played Uncle Fester in The Addams Family and The Addams Family Values, both of which starred Christina Ricci as Wednesday Addams.Fred Armisen is set to return for Wednesday season 2 as Fester Addams, so we’ll just have to wait and see who Lloyd ends up playing. Another exciting addition to the cast is the character of Grandmamma Addams, the quirky and perhaps more underrated Addams Family member, who was played by both Carol Kane and Judith Malina in the aforementioned films.
The returning cast includes Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Joy Sunday, Georgie Farmer, Hunter Doohan, Emma Myers, Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo, and Isaac Ordonez.
“We are thrilled that the entire Addams family will be enrolling in Nevermore Academy this season along with a dream cast of icons and new faces,” said showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar. Tim Burton, of course, returns to direct.
