Star Wars fans, if you’re not already watching Wednesday on Netflix then get season one watched and come back for season two as joining the fun are two GFFA stars. The prequel trilogy, Willow and The Acolyte star Joonas Suotamo will make a guest appearance in the second season, while The Mandalorian season 3 guest star Christopher Lloyd – no stranger to the Addams Family having starred as Uncle Fester in the two early 90’s Barry Sonnenfeld big screen movies – will return.
Netflix announced Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, and Noah Taylor have also joined the show as full-time cast members. Piper will portray a character named Capri. The streamer also confirmed previous reports Steve Buscemi has signed on for a big role as Barry Dort. (He’s expected to play Nevermore Academy’s new principle but perhaps he’s someone else altogether.) The newbies will join Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Hunter Doohan, Victor Dorobantu, Moosa Mostafa, and Isaac Ordonez on the series.
Season two will also feature a litany of guest stars headlined by Lloyd. He played Uncle Fester in the 1991 and 1993 big screen Addams Family installments. (The show’s own Fester, Fred Armisen, is also set to appear.) Joanna Lumley, Frances O’Connor, Haley Joel Osment, Heather Matarazzo, and Joonas Suotamo will also pop up during season two in guest roles. Lumley will portray Grandmama, a character we hoped to see this season. Netflix also confirmed Thandiwe Newton will round out the list of guest stars as someone named Dr. Fairburn. Now that sounds like a Nevermore Academy leader.
What roles they’ll be playing we don’t know, but if that’s not enough to get you interested, we don’t know what is.
