Despite her character meeting a tragic end in the first season, Gwendoline Christie teased that she might also return as Principal Weems. “We didn’t see her buried in the ground, did we?” Christie said Digital spy. “I feel that Larissa Weems would not be willing to entertain or be dominated by something as common as death.”

While the official synopsis for the new season has yet to be revealed, the showrunners previously revealed that they plan to further explore Wednesday’s growth as a character.

“The show is really about a girl who sees the world in black and white and learns that there are shades of grey,” Gough said TV Line. “I think like any relationship or friendship, it can be complicated by other factors. It’s never going to be smooth sailing. And it’s really her learning to navigate the ups and downs of friendship.”

During a conversation with Elle Fanning for DiversityCast on cast, Ortega added that the show is also “rejecting any romantic love interest for Wednesday” in the new season. “We decided we wanted to focus a little more on the horror aspect of the show,” added Ortega. “Because it’s so lighthearted, and a show like this with vampires and werewolves and superpowers, you don’t want to take yourself too seriously.”

In an interview with in 1883, Emma Myers, who plays Enid in the series, shared her hopes that her character will find her confidence in the new episodes.

“She’s finally grown into her wolf abilities and I’d like to see her use that instead of being scared and upset about it. I’d like to see her be the one to drive things instead of just being dragged along,” Myers said.

Speaking to Variety, Millar revealed that they have already mapped out several seasons for the show. “For us, it’s always looking to the future, and when we sit down to create a series, it’s ideally looking at multiple seasons,” he explained.

“It was never expected, but it’s an expectation that we hope the show will be successful. So you always set up at least three or four seasons worth of potential storylines for the characters. It can evolve and change,” he said, adding, “We certainly have a pretty clear runway of what we want to do in future seasons.”
