All the explanations on the end of season 2 of Wednesday and what it means for season 3
What does all this mean for season 3 of the Netflix series, already ordered? The showrunners provide after-sales service.
Nothing could prepare Addams on Wednesday for what was waiting for him in the finale of season 2.
Attention spoilers!
While leafing through the journal of her supposedly disappeared aunt, Ophelia Frump, the girl is sucked in a psychic vision. She saw her aunt, very lively, locked up in a dark room, scribbling on a wall the worrying message: “Wednesday must die.” Nice.
The place is none other than the basement of the Grandmama Hester Frump manor (embodied by Joanna Lumley), who therefore knows how to be held back.
What’s going on with Ophelia?
Questioned by the Netflix Tudum site, Al Gough, co-creator of the series, explains: “We hope that fans will be both surprised and satisfied by this final.” His accomplice Miles Millar adds: “This revelation is a small stowed pebble to launch season 3 on Wednesday and the new adventure on Wednesday.”
Because throughout this season 2, Ophelia is described as “missing”. The truth is much more disturbing: she has always been there, captive in the maternal house. The mystery remains whole on the duration of his detention, his jailer and his true intentions, even if her flowers of flowers and her fatal mantra are enough to make her a potential enemy. The showrunners assure him, the plan was wedged:
“It has always been planned to show it at the end, but in an unexpected way, and that it serves as a engine in a row”?
This reappearance will not fail to upset the Addams family. MORTICIA (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has long worried resemblances between her daughter and her sister.
“The re -emergence of Ophelia will strike the family as a bomb,” warns Millar.
The Ophelia newspaper, offered on Wednesday by Morticia, is also a crucial point in the final. “It is a sign of truce, of acceptance, the proof that Morticia recognizes that her daughter grows,” explains Millar.
On the power side, season 3 will start with a private Wednesday of its mental gifts. Ortega details: “She had improved so much in the use of her abilities, but she abused this power and lost it. She has her intelligence, but everything becomes more difficult.”
Ophelia’s vision suggests that her powers are gently reactivated. For Millar, this is not just a supernatural question: “This is proof of Wednesday’s growth. Once the relationship with Morticia is repaired, its gifts can come back.”
Where is ENID?
Another revelation of the season: Enid turns without moon and discovers that it is an alpha louve, dreaded by his own. “He is a super-leader, but also a fearful creature. She finally found a pack, and this new status isolates her again,” Gough analysis. Actress Emma Myers finds this evolution both tragic and logical:
“Enid has always fought to find her place. Now she may become a lonely again. But I hope it will bring her closer to Wednesday, because they are both marginal among the marginal”.
Who will be the new director of Nevermore?
And a final question hovers: who will be the new director of Nevermore after the death of weems at the end of season 1, then that of the awful sleeps at the end of season 2?
The creators maintain the mystery but promise: “You will be very surprised!”
One thing is certain: between the return of Ophelia, the awakening of Enid and the psychic rebirth of Wednesday, season 3 looks more mystical than ever.
