Anthony Michael Hall Cast in 'Wednesday' Season 2

The Wednesday universe just got a little bit bigger. Anthony Michael Hall, the 80s film star known for his roles in The Breakfast Club and Weird Science, is officially joining the cast of Wednesday Season 2. With Netflix’s gothic comedy-horror series becoming a breakout hit thanks to Jenna Ortega’s spellbinding portrayal of Wednesday Addams, the addition of Hall signals is a nice direction for the show's sophomore season.

Anthony Michael Hall and Tim Burton of course have worked together before on films like Edward Scissorhands,

his return to a Tim Burton project over three decades later brings a sense of a full-circle moment, one that fans of both Burton and Hall are sure to appreciate. Hall’s inclusion adds gravitas to a cast already brimming with talent, including returning stars like Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Luis Guzmán.

No news on who or what Hall will be playing but fans are sure to post their predictions. Could he be playing a teacher at Nevermore Academy, a supernatural antagonist, or even a new parental figure in the Addams family world? The possibilities are endless. 

Given Hall’s recent choices playing more intense, morally ambiguous characters, we suspect he could bring a darker, more cerebral energy to Wednesday Season 2. His casting alongside new additions like Steve Buscemi and Billie Piper have us high fiving Thing.

Set to premiere in two parts on August 6 and September 3, 2025, Season 2 of Wednesday is right around the corner. With the first season ending on a cliffhanger fans are eager to see what’s next.

According to early reports, the creators aim to delve deeper into the Addams family lore while introducing new characters that shake up Nevermore Academy. Hall's character is expected to be a key player in this new direction, possibly serving as a mentor—or menace—to Wednesday herself.

As we await more tea, one thing’s for sure: Season 2 of Wednesday is one of the most anticipated TV events of 2025.
