Collage of Jenna Ortega in Wednesday and Thandiwe Newton in Westworld
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Wednesday season 2 has added Thandiwe Newton to its cast, and not only will she be a great addition to the hit Netflix show; it’ll make up for the controversial cancelation of the actor’s last TV series. While the details of Newton’s character are being kept under wraps, it’s been confirmed that she’ll appear alongside Jenna Ortega in the highly anticipated second season of the Addams Family spin-off show.
Wednesday Is A Great New Replacement Show For Thandiwe Newton After Westworld's Cancelation Close Landing a role in Wednesday season 2 gives Newton the perfect replacement show for the last TV series she starred in. HBO’s serialized adaptation of Westworld was widely praised by critics and amassed a large fan base with its deep, complex exploration of artificial intelligence.
Newton has always given a hilarious performance in the role of Mona, especially in her chaotic relationship with Missy in Big Mouth, but since both shows featuring the character are concluding their run, her remaining time with that character is limited. Being cast in Wednesday will give Newton a chance to dive into a new role and round out a whole new character for a lengthy episodic run.
Newton isn’t old enough to play Grandmama and she doesn’t have the towering build to play a gender-swapped Lurch, so it’s likely that Newton’s Wednesday character is an original creation and not a familiar face from the Addams Family franchise. She might play a counselor who’s sent to talk to the kids who were traumatized by the events of season 1. Whoever she’s playing, her long history of great performances suggests she’ll knock it out of the park.
