It’s 2025, and the second season of Netflix’s hit show Wednesday is on its way! Filming wrapped up in Ireland recently, and the show is set to return later this year. While we already know quite a bit about the upcoming season, there are some new cast members to look out for, as has been revealed officially.

Over the holiday break, more details about supporting and minor characters were revealed. The cast lineup is expanding, with several new actors joining Jenna Ortega and the rest of the crew.

Netflix is already ramping up its marketing for the season, though we don’t have an official release date yet. A teaser was even featured during the NFL Games on Christmas Day.

We now know that Liv Spencer from Kaos and Knightfall will play a character named Varicose. Neri Zaccardelli steps in as Stassa, while Andrew Macklin, known from Doctor Who,...

Bianca Barclay (Joy Sunday) is one of Wednesday's most important characters, with both her backstory and powers being important elements of the Netflix series. When introduced in season 1, Bianca already had a reputation of being one of the most popular students at Nevermore Academy and became a rival of Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega). However, Bianca and Wednesday gradually put aside their differences and began to trust and respect each other, and even worked together during Wednesday season 1's ending.

Some of the tension between Bianca and Wednesday in season 1 was due to Xavier Thorpe (Percy Hynes White). He and Bianca previously dated, while Xavier became interested in Wednesday, although Wednesday did not feel the same way about him. Both Sunday and Ortega reprise their roles as Bianca and Wednesday in season 2, which will likely explore more of their newfound friendship. Bianca will continue to be an important part of Wednesday season 2's story,...

Taking on the role of siren Bianca Barclay in Netflix’s Wednesday was a “no-brainer” for Joy Sunday, a rising star who previously appeared in Netflix’s Dear White People, Freeform’s Good Trouble, and most recently, the MGM film Dog.

Following the show’s hit debut, Sunday reveled in the moment and all the care that went into crafting the popular character during a recent call with Deadline.

“When Bianca came into my life, I was honestly so happy to play her because, in a lot of ways, it was an opportunity to get to soften and to expand on a character like her,” she recalled while sitting in a New York cafe. “I was just elated to be able to put my own spin on it and to really provide a nuanced take on the mean girl, the strong girl. I feel lucky to have been able to play her.
