Unveiling The Cast Of Wednesday Season 2 Episode 3: 'Call Of The Woe' And The New Nevermore Faces
The highly anticipated second season of Wednesday is set to deliver a darker, more intense chapter for Nevermore Academy's most macabre student, and new details about the cast, especially for Episode 3, have finally emerged. As of December 22, 2025, production has officially wrapped, and the series is slated for a two-part premiere in 2025, introducing a host of new, high-profile actors and confirming the return of fan-favorite characters. The specific focus on Episode 3, reportedly titled 'Call of the Woe,' gives fans a tantalizing glimpse into the next mystery Wednesday Addams will unravel, featuring a core ensemble alongside a major new addition.
The shift in focus for Season 2 promises to lean further into the horror elements, with Jenna Ortega taking on a producer role to ensure the narrative stays true to Wednesday's isolated and gothic roots. The move of production to Ireland has also provided a fresh, eerie backdrop for Nevermore Academy's return. While the full episode-by-episode breakdown remains under tight wraps, the confirmed cast list for the season and specific mentions for 'Call of the Woe' paint a clear picture of the thrilling ensemble.
Wednesday Season 2 Core Cast & Character Profiles
The heart of Wednesday remains the dynamic between the titular character and her eclectic circle of family and friends. The following main cast members are confirmed to be returning for Season 2, with strong indications of their presence in the pivotal third episode, "Call of the Woe."
- Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams: The star of the series, returning as the deadpan, psychic student at Nevermore Academy. Ortega's increased creative control promises a deeper, more gothic portrayal of the iconic character.
- Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair: Wednesday's cheerful, werewolf roommate, whose burgeoning friendship with Wednesday was a centerpiece of Season 1. Their contrasting personalities are a key element expected to continue in Episode 3.
- Hunter Doohan as Tyler Galpin: The former love interest revealed to be the Hyde monster. His return, confirmed for Season 2, suggests his storyline and redemption, or lack thereof, will be a major plot point, potentially resurfacing in a significant episode like 'Call of the Woe.'
- Joy Sunday as Bianca Barclay: The siren and rival-turned-ally of Wednesday. Her powerful abilities and complex relationship with Nevermore's social hierarchy are set to be further explored.
- Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams: Wednesday's younger brother, who often finds himself a target of her "affection." His appearances typically ground Wednesday in her family life.
- Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams: Wednesday's mother, a powerful and elegant Addams family matriarch. The family's involvement is expected to be more central in Season 2.
- Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams: Wednesday's father, the passionate and devoted patriarch of the Addams clan.
The New Faces Confirmed for 'Call of the Woe' and Nevermore Academy
The most exciting aspect of the Season 2 cast announcement is the influx of veteran and high-profile actors stepping into new roles. Specific cast lists for Episode 3, 'Call of the Woe,' highlight one major addition who will be a central figure in Nevermore’s new academic year.
Steve Buscemi as Barry Dort (Principal Dort)
The most prominent new character confirmed for Season 2, and specifically listed in the cast for Episode 3, is Barry Dort, played by the acclaimed actor Steve Buscemi. Buscemi’s character is widely rumored to be the new principal of Nevermore Academy, taking over from the previous headmistress, Larissa Weems, played by Gwendoline Christie, whose fate was left ambiguous at the end of Season 1.
Buscemi’s signature blend of quirkiness and intensity makes him a perfect fit for the Addams universe. The character's name, Barry Dort, suggests a departure from the gothic names of the previous staff, hinting that he may be a normie attempting to impose order on the school for outcasts. His immediate involvement in 'Call of the Woe' suggests Episode 3 will be a crucial turning point in the new school year, likely featuring a major conflict between Wednesday and the new administration. This new dynamic is a fresh twist that will drive much of the season’s internal conflict.
A Deep Dive into the Season 2 Newcomers and Their Potential Episode 3 Roles
Beyond the core ensemble and Steve Buscemi, Wednesday Season 2 has expanded its cast with numerous celebrated actors, many of whom are expected to make their debut in the early episodes, including 'Call of the Woe.' These additions significantly boost the show's topical authority and star power, promising complex new storylines.
- Thandiwe Newton: Her role is currently undisclosed, but her talent suggests a major, possibly antagonistic, figure. She could be a new Nevermore teacher, a member of the mysterious morning-star society, or a powerful outcast from Wednesday's past.
- Christopher Lloyd as Professor Orloff: In a delightful nod to the original Addams Family films, where he played Uncle Fester, Lloyd is confirmed to appear as Professor Orloff. While Uncle Fester's return is also confirmed (played by Fred Armisen in Season 1), Lloyd's new role as a professor could be a recurring guest spot, perhaps in a flashback or as a mentor character in 'Call of the Woe.'
- Joanna Lumley: The legendary actress has joined the cast in an undisclosed role. Given her esteemed career, many speculate she could be a relative of a main character, perhaps a powerful and eccentric Addams family member or a figure from Morticia's past.
- Billie Piper as Isadora Capri: Confirmed to be a new main cast member, Piper's character, Isadora Capri, is expected to play a significant role throughout the season. Her character name suggests a flamboyant and possibly dangerous personality, a perfect foil or ally for Wednesday in her new mysteries.
- Evie Templeton as Agnes DeMille: Another new main cast member, Agnes DeMille, will likely be a new student at Nevermore. Her interactions with Wednesday and Enid will be key to establishing the new social dynamics in Season 2.
- Haley Joel Osment: The Oscar-nominated actor joins in an undisclosed capacity. His casting adds to the show's growing list of seasoned performers, suggesting a multi-layered and potentially dark character arc.
The Darker Tone and Filming Locations: Setting the Stage for 'Call of the Woe'
The production details for Wednesday Season 2 confirm a major shift in setting and tone that will directly influence the narrative of episodes like 'Call of the Woe.' Jenna Ortega has consistently stated that the romantic subplots will be minimized in favor of a deeper exploration of Wednesday's solitary nature and the show's inherent horror and mystery elements.
A New Eerie Backdrop: Ireland
Season 2 production moved from Romania to Ireland, providing a fresh, gothic landscape for Nevermore Academy. Specific filming locations included:
- Charleville Castle: Used as the primary exterior for Nevermore Academy.
- Trinity Business School: Reimagined as the setting for various internal scenes, including a recreation of Newark Airport.
- County Wicklow: The surrounding countryside offers a more rugged and ancient feel, perfect for the darker mysteries promised in the new season.
This new, atmospheric backdrop will undoubtedly enhance the visual storytelling in 'Call of the Woe,' which, given its title, suggests a supernatural or ancestral summons. The Irish folklore and ancient castles could easily be woven into a new mystery involving the school's history or a curse, a perfect vehicle for a new principal like Barry Dort to struggle with.
The Split Release Date Strategy
Netflix has opted for a split release for the eight-episode season, a strategy that maximizes anticipation and engagement.
- Part 1 Premiere: August 6, 2025.
- Part 2 Premiere: September 3, 2025.
Since 'Call of the Woe' is Episode 3, it will fall within the first part of the season, meaning viewers will see the new cast members and the episode's plot unfold shortly after the August 6 premiere. This early placement suggests that the events of Episode 3 will be crucial in setting up the major conflicts that will carry through to the mid-season break and the final episodes of Part 2.
The convergence of a confirmed episode title, a major new cast member (Steve Buscemi), and the promise of a darker, more focused mystery ensures that Wednesday Season 2 Episode 3, 'Call of the Woe,' will be a must-watch episode. The new ensemble cast, including Thandiwe Newton and Christopher Lloyd, alongside the returning favorites, guarantees that the second season will be a massive hit, further cementing the show's place as a global phenomenon.
