As Wednesday season 2 approaches, followers could also be questioning: will there be any romance for the goth icon this time round? In spite of everything, season 1 featured a love triangle between Xavier (Percy Hynes White) and Tyler (Hunter Doohan). However in keeping with the present’s creators and star Jenna Ortega herself, don’t anticipate Wednesday Addams to be swooning over anybody this time.
So what’s the rationale behind the shift? The creators of Wednesday, Al Gough and Miles Millar, not too long ago shared that eradicating romantic drama from Wednesday’s storyline simply made sense following her season 1 expertise.
Based on Miles, it “felt like Wednesday had dipped her toe into romance in the primary season and it ended terribly badly when she found the boy she had fallen for was a monster and a serial killer,” he instructed (*2*). “So it felt like she wouldn’t enterprise into romantic territory once more so quickly. She’s not somebody who’s actually in that proper now anyway; she wandered down that path reluctantly. But it surely wasn’t like we thought it was a mistake in season one to go there.”
Translation? She’s not speeding again into courting after that complete serial killer boyfriend factor. Truthful.
That doesn’t imply season 2 will likely be completely love-free. Gomez and Morticia will nonetheless carry their signature ardour to the display and Emma Myers‘ Enid Sinclair can even be crushing on somebody, however Wednesday’s storyline will steer far-off from romantic entanglements when the present returns to Netflix in two components: Half 1 on August 6 and Half 2 on September 3, 2025.
Jenna, who performs the titular character and can also be an govt producer this season, echoed that sentiment in a latest interview with Entertainment Tonight. When requested how she felt about focusing extra on private progress as an alternative of romance, she made it clear that wasn’t actually a change from season 1 — at the least not in her thoughts.
“To be honest, I really feel like the primary season I form of performed it that method anyway,” Jenna stated. “I didn’t assume I gave both one of many boys that a lot… So you understand it wasn’t that completely different for me. It was good to perhaps focus somewhat bit extra on the horrific points of Wednesday and, you understand, somewhat bit extra of the violence. In order that was enjoyable for me.”
Jenna has additionally been vocal in the previous about not loving the love triangle in season 1. In a earlier Actors on Actors interview with Elle Fanning for Variety, she revealed: “We’ve determined we need to lean into the horror side of the present somewhat bit extra. As a result of it’s so lighthearted, and a present like this with vampires and werewolves and superpowers, you don’t need to take your self too significantly.”
“We’re ditching any romantic love curiosity for Wednesday, which is absolutely nice,” she added, referring to the choice to drop the Xavier and Tyler dynamic in season 2.
