He joins a cast that includes Jenna Oretega as Wednesday Addams, Riki Lindhome, Jamie McShane, Hunter Doohan, Percy Hynes White, Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Georgie Farmer, Naomi J. Ogawa, Christina Ricci, and Moosa Mostafa, with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzman as Morticia and Gomez, respectively. Apart from the immediate Addams family, it is unknown precisely who will all be returning for the second season.

Wednesday is created and directed by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, with Tim Burton serving as a director for several episodes as well as executive producer.

Filming for Season 2 is scheduled to start this month in Ireland.
