While Wednesday was very much a film about outcasts and belonging, at face value, it is a creature feature. The outcasts of Nevermore Academy are far from typical teenagers. In fact, they are monstrous. But, among whom else would a dark, rich, and charming character such as Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) find her place? After all, she is the offspring of the creepy and spooky Morticia and Gomez Addams (Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán, respectively).

There would be no story if not for the beloved humanoid creatures. That is what makes Wednesday a signature, not a knockoff teenage drama. These dastardly yet sublime characters were entertaining and kept viewers glued to the screen, boosting the Tim Burton series to the number one spot. As Variety notes, “two weeks after its debut, Wednesday was Netflix’s most popular series of all time.” Furthermore, the first season was so successful reportedly it leapfrogged new releases to reclaim its number one spot during the holiday season. So, it was not so surprising when a season 2 was confirmed.

The most pertinent characters driving the action in the drama-filled feature included Bianca Barclay (Joy Sunday), Ajax (Georgie Farmer), Enid (Emma Myers), Yoko (Naomi J. Ogawa), Tyler (Hunter Doohan), and Principle Weems (Gwendoline Christie), and each are compelling monsters. Bianca slayed as a striking siren. Ajax was an undeniable charmer of a gorgon. Sweet Enid turned out to be a viciously loyal werewolf. Tyler was an aloof but horrifying Hyde. Yoko was the sultry and secretive vamp. And Ms. Weems was a sly shape-shifter. So, with season one done and a season two on the horizon, one wonders what beings could be introduced in the next chapter. Here’s a breakdown of characters we believe fans will want to see in a riveting second season.

Vampires Should Have a Larger Role

Vampires should play a more prominent role in the second installment. In the initial season, the young Wednesday helped the rowing team clench a victory they so much deserved. An enchantingly beautiful vampire named Yoko Tanaka led the rowing team, but an unfortunate accident left her incapacitated. At the last minute, Wednesday stepped up in the capacity of pinch hitter.

It’s safe to assume Yoko might now see Wednesday as a friend. This and her ties to Enid surely increase the likelihood she, and perhaps more of her kind, will appear in a second season. If Wednesday ever needs someone to have her back or return a favor, Yoko could greatly assist in continuing adventures. This is certainly something fans wouldn’t mind seeing it.

Demon, Death, or a Hell’s Angel Would Make Sense

One of the greatest mysteries of Wedensday is what happened to the covert “Normie” behind the facade of Ms. Thornhill, played by Christina Ricci. Some theorize she died. Other theories leave her very much alive. Regardless of her presumed outcome, It is rumored that there is a possible return for Christina Ricci. If she returns, one can assume that she didn’t die or somehow returned from death. If it is death from which she returns, viewers will get a kick out of seeing her return as a demon or a dark angel. Or perhaps audiences can see her battle Death itself to return to Nevermore. It would certainly make for an intriguing storyline.

A Succubus or Incubus Could Shake Things Up

One thing that most high schools have in common, whether private or otherwise, is popularly attractive students. In the first season, a siren and a gorgon took on the roles of Nevermore heartthrobs. In continuing in that vein, the only creature that could be more alluring than a siren and a gorgon is a succubus or the male counterpart, an incubus. Not only are they considered extremely attractive, but they are also very deadly. And nothing says teenage drama and upset like unseating the most popular students in school.

The Pombero Would Make a Great Rival

A pombero is a natural enemy to the siren. A siren uses their undeniable lilt to capture their prey. According to lore, the pombero is a creature with the power to steal a siren’s voice. On Wednesday, it was revealed that Bianca had family issues that needed attending. Nerdist notes, “She’s torn between her new life at Nevermore and her mother’s cult-like world.”

However, that subplot still needs to be fully explored. Thus, it is a storyline that could gain traction in season two. This is especially a possibility now that Wednesday and Bianca are friends. And if so, a pombero might appear and throw a monkey wrench into things. That is a plot fans could indeed sink their teeth in.

Zombies and Witches Should Appear

While viewers saw many of the most popular creatures in horror featured in the series, there was a noticeable absence of a zombie and a witch. However, given that it is also rumored that Wednesday’s family will play more of a role in the second season viewers could probably get a witch and a zombie. But why? Those familiar with the Addams Family know that Wednesday’s grandmother is a witch. And Lurch is zombie-like. Or if one wants to be more precise he is a human chimera, think Frankenstein’s monster. So perhaps a visit from Granny Addams or Lurch will be in order.

It will be interesting to see where season two will take viewers. At the moment, a potential plot is as clear as a muddy lake one thing remains a fact there will be monsters. The only question is what kind. Given that logical tie-ins are usually pertinent in a story, it’s more than probable fans will see a vampire, witch, zombie, succubus (incubus), demon, death, hell’s angel, or pombero. Regardless given the success of the first season, a second will be a must-see.
