Netflix’s Wednesday Season 2 has added a new face to its roster, with Steve Buscemi set to join the cast, according to Variety.
While specific character details remain undisclosed, sources reveal that Buscemi will portray the new principal of Nevermore Academy.
Both Netflix and Buscemi’s representatives have chosen not to provide further comments on the matter.
Buscemi’s versatile talent, known for seamlessly transitioning between drama and comedy, brings a wealth of experience to the screen. Renowned for his roles in iconic films like “Reservoir Dogs,” “Fargo,” and “The Death of Stalin,” as well as his television work in shows such as “Boardwalk Empire” and “Miracle Workers,” Buscemi’s addition to “Wednesday” Season 2 is anticipated to inject new energy into the series.
A recipient of eight Emmy nominations, including wins for “Boardwalk Empire” and “Park Bench with Steve Buscemi,” the actor’s contribution to the entertainment industry has been widely celebrated.
“Wednesday” made its debut on Netflix in November 2022, quickly rising to become one of the streaming giant’s most-watched shows. Garnering 12 Emmy nominations and four wins, the series’ success solidified its status as a fan favorite.
Despite setbacks caused by industry strikes in 2023, production on Season 2 is poised to commence in late April in Ireland.
Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, who also serve as co-showrunners and executive producers, “Wednesday” boasts Tim Burton as an executive producer and director. With a talented ensemble cast and an acclaimed creative team, anticipation is high for the next chapter of “Wednesday” to captivate audiences once again.
