10 biggest questions we have for Wednesday season 2 on Netflix

So that 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 faculty for “outcasts” the place she will get embroiled in so much of plot. From an previous homicide her mother and father 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 rigidity between “outcasts” and “normies,” Wednesday (the present, not the lady) packs an entire 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 rebel. Wednesday doesn’t wish to be like her mom! However there’s additionally a smidge of internalized misogyny in there too — Wednesday doesn’t wish to be like her mom, as a result of her mom is a mom and a housewife who may be very in love along with her husband. Which, like, for those who take into account goth queen Morticia Addams the epitome of conventional femininity, I’ve numerous questions for you.

By the center of the season Morticia and Wednesday have come to a shaky, tentative understanding. However 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 many coolest characters from each an aesthetic standpoint and a world-building angle is Bianca, a siren performed by Pleasure Sunday. She’s the varsity’s queen bee and fencing champion, and she or he has actually cool white-blue glowy eyes. Additionally, 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 numerous 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 house, 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 utility, however actually it’s designed to con folks out of their cash. Bianca manages to persuade her mother to let her end up the varsity 12 months first. This solely actually options in a single episode, however it’s such a meaty plot level that we’re certain to see it crop up in a hypothetical season 2. You’ll be able to’t simply point out a cult disguised as a self-help app after which sweep it underneath the rug!

Who’s Xavier’s dad?

Bianca’s ex-boyfriend and one of many factors of Wednesday’s love triangle is tortured artist Xavier Thorpe, whose energy entails 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 Points™. He doesn’t prefer it when folks examine him to his dad, but additionally he consistently talks about his dad. Contemplating Daddy Thorpe’s fame, it’s doubtless he’ll make an precise look down the road.

Will Tyler come again?

Talking of affection triangles, the different love curiosity, particularly softboy barista Tyler (Hunter Doohan) — objectively the higher love curiosity — turned out to really be a murderous creature generally known as a Hyde! Because the Hyde, Tyler was liable 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?

Final we noticed him, he was being carted off to psychiatric care. So he’s not lifeless. However had been his emotions for Wednesday all a lie from the start? As a result of they had been actually cute! And in addition, will we study extra about his mysterious mom? There are numerous unfastened ends in relation to Tyler, and it could be a disgrace to simply tuck him away.

Who’s stalking Wednesday?

In one of many final scenes of season 1, Wednesday opens a mysterious envelope stuffed with 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 college (all of them received to go house due to the #tragedy that occurred), and who has a bizarre vendetta towards her. Is it somebody we’ve already met within the present, or is it a brand new character? We should wait to search out out.

What the hell is Gomez’s outcast means?

So, all college students of Nevermore Academy are outcasts, which we all know as a result of Marilyn Thornhill being the primary normie within the faculty’s hallowed halls was an enormous deal. And most outcasts fall into acquainted fantasy beings, like werewolves and vampires. Besides 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 type of energy. However we by no means discover out what it’s! Most likely one thing to discover down the road. The Addams household themselves didn’t actually seem a lot within the present, so there’s so much to dig into later.

What was Edgar Allan Poe’s outcast means?

One in all Nevermore’s most acclaimed alumnus was creator Edgar Allan Poe. And since all Nevermore college students and alumni are outcasts, that implies that Poe positively had powers. I wish to know extra.

What even makes an outcast?

Nice query! Regardless of the entire season being targeted on normie-outcast rigidity, we truly by no means actually discover out. Are they simply magical beings? However then what about Wednesday, who didn’t inform anybody she had powers when she enrolled? Do you need to costume 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 standards?

It’s one factor to depart it intentionally imprecise for college hijinks, however when the entire crux of the plot is determined by what makes a normie and what makes an outcast, it could 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 certainly some folks like outcasts. We’ll see simply how far this prejudice extends.

The place 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 could be actually humorous in the event that they stored that.

Wednesday is out on Netflix now.
