The first season follows quick-witted and slightly terrifying Wednesday Addams (played by Jenna Ortega), who transfers to Nevermore Academy and discovers a string of mysterious killings have been happening on campus. One of the show's creators, Miles Millar, hinted that season two will explore Wednesday and Morticia's relationship a bit more.
He told TV Line, "We felt like we just touched the surface with those characters and the actors are so amazing in those roles. Catherine is, I think, an iconic Morticia. The relationship between Wednesday and Morticia is also essential to the show, and the idea that Wednesday is trying to forge her own path outside the family is so important."
Millar also noted that while he wants to focus on Wednesday's character, he still wants to incorporate the family. He added, “We definitely want to feature the family as we did this season in a couple of episodes if we were to get a second season.”
Jenna Ortega, who plays Wednesday, also shared that she wants her character's story arc to take a darker turn in season two. She told Entertainment Tonight, "I kind of want her to be darker. I want her to get more in the nitty-gritty of things and not play things so safe, because there are a lot of lines about her saving the school and doing whatever, but for me, her main drive with the monster is of a competitiveness. Kind of, 'Man, how's this guy doing this?' I think I want it to continue down an antihero stream rather than a typical hero."
