Thandiwe Newton has joined the cast of Wednesday season 2.
PerVariety, Newton is set to star alongside newly added cast member Steve Buscemi in an undisclosed role. The ball is finally rolling on season 2 after production was delayed due to theWGAandSAG-AFTRA strikes.
“It’s still coming together, but we’ve decided we want to lean into the horror more,” Ortega told Elle Fanning in a conversation forVarietylast year. No other plot details about the new season have been released.
Newton is perhaps best known for starring as Maeve Millay on Westworld, with the role earning her several Emmy and Golden Globe nominations. Her credits include a wide (and absolutely stellar) variety of films including Mission: Impossible 2 andSolo: A Star Wars Story. Newton most recently starred opposite Chris Pine in the spy thriller All the Old Knives, and lent her voice to Ginger inChicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget.
