The Addams Family Netflix hit will instead lean into its horror roots.
on June 7, Ortega shared some details about the plot of season two. The 20-year-old said, “We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror aspect of the show a little bit more. Because it is so lighthearted, and a show like this with vampires and werewolves and superpowers, you don’t want to take yourself too seriously.”
She added, “We’re ditching any romantic love interest for Wednesday, which is really great.” It’s a notable admission not only because stories about young women so often center around romance, but becausefirst season was specifically called out for placing its lead in a love triangle that didn’t add much to the character’s development.that the triangle between Wednesday, Tyler Galphin and Xavier Thorpe “made no sense.
Ortega will also be a producer this go around, which she says was a “natural progression” from how hands-on she was on season one. “We had already been throwing out so many ideas, and I’m somebody who’s very hands on. I want to know what’s going on,” she said. “And with a character like Wednesday, who is so beloved and such a legend, I just really didn’t want to get her wrong. So I try to have as many conversations as possible. On set, with the writers and Tim [Burton], we all would get together and decide, ‘Okay, what works and what doesn’t?’ It was naturally already very collaborative.
“So in preparation for a second season, we wanted to get ahead of the curve and make sure that we could start the conversations earlier,” she continued. “And I’m just so curious. I want to see the outfits, new characters that are coming in, scripts, and they were gracious enough to let me put the producer hat on.
