Netflix’s hit gothic series Wednesday has brought back many famous Addams Family figures, and one season 2 appearance can perfectly replace a major season 1 presence. The Wednesday cast and characters include Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), the series’ main character, Morticia, Gomez, Pugsley, Uncle Fester, Thing, and even classic Addams Family actress Christina Ricci. Each of these beloved characters has moved the plot forward, whether helping Wednesday solve the mystery at Nevermore Academy or uncovering more of the family’s dynamics.
Some famous Addams Family characters did not have a prominent role in season 1, but could in Wednesday season 2. There is the popular hirsuite character, Cousin Itt. A portrait of him is featured in season 1, promoting the potential of his character to appear down the road. However, while Itt is arguably a more peripheral presence, another as-yet-unseen presence is Grandmama Addams. Her character is confirmed to appear in the show’s second season and could easily have a significant role in Wednesday’s life as she attends Nevermore Academy by acting as another character’s replacement.
Grandmama Addams Can Replace Goody As Wednesday Season 2’s Witch Family Member
Witch Characters Are Essential To The Series Storyline
Wednesday season 1 introduces Goody Addams (Ortega), Wednesday’s ancestor from the 1600s who participated in witchcraft. Throughout the season, Wednesday sees Goody in several of her visions, and she ultimately helps Wednesday solve the mystery at Nevermore Academy. However, she would never have appeared in Wednesday’s visions if she was not a witch. Ultimately, her character proves that witches are essential to the mystery plot. Supernatural resources are the only way to unlock the truth entirely.
Like Uncle Fester, (Grandmama Addams) could show up at Nevermore Academy to help Wednesday figure out crucial information about the next mystery she will endure.
Knowing that Grandmama Addams is a witch in previous Addams Family movies and television shows, she could easily replace Goody as the show’s go-to witch. After all, Jenna Ortega explained “We’re definetly expanding” on new supernatural characters for the series. Her abilities have so much potential for the plot. Like Uncle Fester, she could show up at Nevermore Academy to help Wednesday figure out crucial information about the next mystery she will endure. Whatever her role, however, Grandmama Addam’s witch background makes her the ideal Goody stand-in.
Grandmama Is The Answer To Uncovering More Of Wednesday’s Addams Family History After Goody
The Addams Family Is Notoriously Known For Their Long Family History
Goody’s appearance in Wednesday’s visions in the show’s first season uncovered many family secrets of the Addams family. Because of her, Wednesday discovered that Goody founded the Nightshade Society. This was a key fact for Wednesday’s mystery, as the society existed at Nevermore Academy. Without this information about Wednesday’s family history, she would not have been able to uncover the murders taking place at Nevermore Academy. This knowledge was not just for her character development.
Given that Grandmama Addams is the oldest Addams family character alive, she knows secret aspects of family history that Wednesday has yet to discover. Even if she does not know much, she certainly has the power to uncover it. Such a storyline would make even more sense if the series goes to the Addams family mansion in Wednesday season 2. Since the past played such a crucial role in Wednesday season 1, it’s likely that the show will continue exploring this theme – with Grandmama Addams perfectly placed to play a major role.
Will Goody Addams Return In Wednesday, Season 2?
She Did Play A Pretty Important Role In Season 1
Goody tells Wednesday after their last encounter that they will not be able to see each other anymore from then on. Her role on the show ends there. This does not officially mean that the showrunners will never allow her to reappear. She could easily appear in a flashback to the Addams’ family history to defeat Wednesday season 2’s villain. Or, since Grandmama is a witch, perhaps she had her visions with Goody before and will explain them to Wednesday. Nevertheless, it appears Wednesday and Goody will specifically not have an encounter with each other again.
Despite Wednesday and Goody’s interactions ending in the first season, she played a crucial role in all her appearances. Wednesday would not have survived without her, and some of the information she told Wednesday may continue to be helpful in future seasons. Her insight may even save other characters. This detail could even open the door for more supernatural storylines in Wednesday season 2.
With the success of Wednesday season 1, Grandmama’s confirmed appearance in the follow-up is even more exciting. All the potential her powers could bring to the plotline will draw in more long-time fans of the Addams Family thanks to her iconic reputation. However the show uses her character, Grandmama Addams has the potential to become even more important than Goody was in Wednesday season 1.
