Who are the new cast members and guest stars in Wednesday season 2?
Season 2 introduces fresh faces that expand the Addams universe. Besides the high-profile additions, the show brings in Evie Templeton as Agnes DeMille, a new Nevermore student with invisibility powers. The most talked-about new character is Agnes, whose role is detailed below.
Who plays Grandmama in Wednesday season 2?
As of now, no actress has been officially announced for the role of Grandmama Addams. While the character is part of classic Addams Family lore, she does not appear in any released cast lists from Netflix Tudum, Wikipedia, or IMDb. It remains possible that Grandmama appears in a later episode or cameo, but there is no evidence yet.
Who plays Agnes in Wednesday season 2?
Evie Templeton has been confirmed to play Agnes DeMille, a Nevermore “vanisher” with invisibility powers. According to Addams Family Wiki reports, Agnes is Wednesday’s obsessive stalker-turned-friend and self-proclaimed number one superfan. She becomes Wednesday’s assistant in investigations, orchestrates a Prank Day kidnapping of Enid and Bruno, and first appears fawning in the courtyard seeking autographs. Templeton previously appeared in Pinocchio, Criminal Record, and Silent Hill 2. Her role adds a fresh dynamic to Wednesday’s world.
Agnes is described as a giggly fan who evolves into an ally – a stark contrast to Wednesday’s typically dark demeanor. Her “vanisher” power (invisibility) makes her uniquely useful in solving supernatural puzzles.
What is the cast for each episode of Wednesday season 2?
Detailed per-episode cast lists have not been officially released beyond the main and recurring names. However, IMDb and TMDB are expected to publish full credits as episodes air. Based on the show’s structure, the main cast appears in every episode. Episode 1 will likely introduce new characters like Agnes and Barry Dort (Steve Buscemi), while later episodes may bring Joanna Lumley’s role into focus. Grandmama’s appearance, if any, would likely occur in a single episode.
Wednesday season 2 releases in two parts: Part 1 on August 6, 2025, and Part 2 on September 3, 2025. Episode-level credits should appear on IMDb within days of each part’s premiere.

- Early 2025 – IMDb and Wikipedia updates begin listing season 2 cast, still incomplete.
