Why Steve Buscemi’s Casting Could Help Wednesday Season 2
According toVariety,Steve Buscemi is playing the Nevermore Academy principalinWednesdayseason 2. This could be great news for the overall story of the second season of the Netflix series because he will likely follow in the tradition of former principal Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie). This is Nevermore Academy, after all, and every character is hiding something. Since Larissa was a shapeshifter, she had some secrets up her sleeve that made her a more layered character. She was a morally gray character who wanted to help the students who have magical abilities but also did some things that others might not agree with.
WhileWednesdayseason 2 should solve some problemsfrom the first season, it will also introduce some new people in Wednesday’s world who fans are curious about. There aremany compelling possibilities for Steve Buscemi’sWednesdayseason 2 character. He could have powers like Larissa did. He will also likely have to make some tough decisions to make sure that the students of Nevermore are kept safe from the current thread, which seems like it will be the person or creature stalking Wednesday Addams.
