10 biggest questions we have for Wednesday season 2 on Netflix

So you spent this previous Wednesday watching Netflix’s Wednesday, a present about Wednesday Addams, the teenage daughter of the Addams household.

Wednesday (the present, not the lady) whisks Wednesday (the lady, not the present) away to a cool goth boarding college for “outcasts” the place she will get embroiled in quite a bit of plot. From an outdated homicide her dad and mom had been concerned in to some freaky deaths taking place across the small city of Jericho, Vermont, and from a love triangle and highschool cliques to pressure between “outcasts” and “normies,” Wednesday (the present, not the lady) packs a complete lot into the eight-episode first season.

It solely is smart that there are a handful of unanswered questions, unfastened ends for a possible second season to tug on.

[Ed. note: This post contains major spoilers for Netflix’s Wednesday.]

Why aren’t Morticia and Wednesday getting alongside?

From the very second Wednesday kicks off, we study that Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) and her mom Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) are not getting alongside. This appears to be chalked as much as easy teenage riot. Wednesday doesn’t need to be like her mom! But there’s additionally a smidge of internalized misogyny in there too — Wednesday doesn’t need to be like her mom, as a result of her mom is a mom and a housewife who may be very in love together with her husband. Which, like, in case you contemplate goth queen Morticia Addams the epitome of conventional femininity, I have a number of questions for you.

By the center of the season Morticia and Wednesday have come to a shaky, tentative understanding. But their fractured relationship is without doubt one of the many, many plot factors this primary season offers with, particularly as a result of it’s additionally tied to the mysterious homicide that Morticia and Gomez had been concerned in after they had been youngsters.

What is that this cult that Bianca’s mother is a part of?

One of the best characters from each an aesthetic standpoint and a world-building angle is Bianca, a siren performed by Joy Sunday. She’s the college’s queen bee and fencing champion, and she or he has actually cool white-blue glowy eyes. Also, we discover out that sirens can compel folks to do their bidding, although that doesn’t actually get tremendous explored (as a result of the present explores a number of issues). What we do find out about Bianca’s siren powers is that her ex-boyfriend Xavier (Percy Hynes White) thinks she used them on him.

We additionally study that Bianca ran away from residence, as a result of her mother is married to a cult chief who needs to make use of their siren powers to indoctrinate extra members. The cult is disguised as a self-help software, however actually it’s designed to con folks out of their cash. Bianca manages to persuade her mother to let her end up the college 12 months first. This solely actually options in a single episode, nevertheless it’s such a meaty plot level that we’re certain to see it crop up in a hypothetical season 2. You can’t simply point out a cult disguised as a self-help app after which sweep it below the rug!

Who is Xavier’s dad?

Bianca’s ex-boyfriend and one of many factors of Wednesday’s love triangle is tortured artist Xavier Thorpe, whose energy includes making his drawings come to life. His father is a well-known stage magician and psychic and he seems to have a lot of Daddy Issues™. He doesn’t prefer it when folks examine him to his dad, but in addition he consistently talks about his dad. Considering Daddy Thorpe’s fame, it’s probably he’ll make an precise look down the road.

Will Tyler come again?

Speaking of affection triangles, the different love curiosity, specifically softboy barista Tyler (Hunter Doohan) — objectively the higher love curiosity — turned out to really be a murderous creature generally known as a Hyde! As the Hyde, Tyler was accountable for all of the mysterious deaths round city! Now, technically he was being managed and brought benefit of by Marilyn Thornhill (Christina Ricci), a descendant of the fanatical pilgrim who based the city of Jericho and wished to kill all outcasts. So… is there some good in Tyler, or has he been completely brainwashed?

Last we noticed him, he was being carted off to psychiatric care. So he’s not useless. But had been his emotions for Wednesday all a lie from the start? Because they had been actually cute! And additionally, will we study extra about his mysterious mom? There are a number of unfastened ends in terms of Tyler, and it will be a disgrace to simply tuck him away.

Who is stalking Wednesday?

In one of many final scenes of season 1, Wednesday opens a mysterious envelope full of candid photos of her. It’s left by somebody who remains to be on the market, who might nonetheless take an image of her on the final day of faculty (all of them received to go residence due to the #tragedy that occurred), and who has a bizarre vendetta in opposition to her. Is it somebody we’ve already met within the present, or is it a brand new character? We will have to attend to seek out out.

What the hell is Gomez’s outcast skill?

So, all college students of Nevermore Academy are outcasts, which we know as a result of Marilyn Thornhill being the primary normie within the college’s hallowed halls was a giant deal. And most outcasts fall into acquainted fantasy beings, like werewolves and vampires. Except after they have extra idiosyncratic powers, like Wednesday and Morticia’s psychic skills or Xavier’s artwork factor.

As a former Nevermore pupil, Gomez (Luis Guzmán) should’ve had some form of energy. But we by no means discover out what it’s! Probably one thing to discover down the road. The Addams household themselves didn’t actually seem a lot within the present, so there’s quite a bit to dig into later.

What was Edgar Allan Poe’s outcast skill?

One of Nevermore’s most acclaimed alumnus was creator Edgar Allan Poe. And as a result of all Nevermore college students and alumni are outcasts, that implies that Poe positively had powers. I need to know extra.

What even makes an outcast?

Great query! Despite the entire season being targeted on normie-outcast pressure, we truly by no means actually discover out. Are they only magical beings? But then what about Wednesday, who didn’t inform anybody she had powers when she enrolled? Do you have to decorate in black and benefit from the macabre? Then what about plucky werewolf Enid (Emma Myers), who enjoys all issues pink and sparkly? What is the factors?

It’s one factor to go away it intentionally imprecise for college hijinks, however when the entire crux of the plot relies upon on what makes a normie and what makes an outcast, it will make extra sense to have these definitions clear.

What does the remainder of the world take into consideration werewolves and vampires and all that?

Is it simply the city of Jericho that hates outcasts? Xavier’s dad is a well known magician, so absolutely some folks like outcasts. We’ll see simply how far this prejudice extends.

Where does the Addams household reside?

I ask this largely as a result of within the Broadway musical they canonically reside smack dab in the course of Central Park and I simply assume it will be actually humorous in the event that they saved that.

Wednesday is out on Netflix now.
