Will We See More Gomez In Wednesday Season 2? Luis Guzmán Chimes In [Exclusive]

This post contains mild spoilers for the first season of "Wednesday."

After its first season became a surprise smash hit for Netflix, it's no surprise that more "Wednesday" is already on the way. The streamer has ordered a second season of the goth girl reimagining of "The Addams Family," and while fans wait around, questions about where the show will go next are already beginning to pile up. Will Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) abandon the love triangle and possibly strike up a romance with her roommate and bestie Enid (Emma Myers)? Who started stalking the psychic teen in the finale's final moments? And of course: Will our favorite members of the Addams family make return appearances?

The last question was one /Film's Ryan Scott asked actor Luis Guzmán when he caught up with the "Story Ave" star ahead of that movie's festival premiere this week. Scott asked Guzmán if audiences should expect more appearances from his Gomez Addams, the loving patriarch and unabashed wife guy of the Addams family. The answer sounds promising. "That's been requested. Not by me, but by the fans," Guzmán said. After answering, "We'll see," he explained that he was open to returning if the story suits it. He told /Film:

"Listen, however I fit in, I fit in. I mean, you've got to bring that back, that character, because that character's iconic to the story. You know what I mean? So whatever will be will be, but I'll be there."

It sounds like Luis Guzmán either hasn't gotten the call about season 2 yet or is compelled to play coy about it if he did, but the actor seems keen to see the "iconic" character of Gomez return. The show is set largely at Nevermore Academy, where a teenaged Wednesday overcomes her hatred for pretty much everything long enough to solve the mystery of who's been killing off students. Even with the boarding school setting, Guzmán appears in several episodes of the first season alongside Catherine Zeta-Jones, who plays Morticia Addams. In one significant plot, Gomez is arrested for a murder committed three decades earlier, only to be released when he is proven innocent.

Guzmán and Zeta-Jones aren't the only Addams family members who could make a return appearance. Isaac Ordonez plays younger brother Pugsley, while George Burcea is Lurch, the Frankenstein-like family butler. Fred Armisen, meanwhile, made a nearly unrecognizable guest appearance as Wednesday's Uncle Fester. A few classic Addams family characters, like Grandmama and Cousin Itt, have yet to appear in the show at all.

Hopefully, season 2 of "Wednesday" will be able to course-correct some of the first season's problems, including an extremely dull love triangle that Jenna Ortega has openly criticized. The star, who's having a major moment with her turn in the new "Scream" sequel and a possible starring role in a "Beetlejuice" sequel, has been promoted to executive producer for the show's sophomore season. Guzmán, meanwhile, stars in the coming-of-age film "Story Ave" premiering at SXSW and will appear in the upcoming Netflix film "Havoc" alongside Tom Hardy, Forest Whitaker, and Timothy Olyphant.

No news yet on when we'll see the second season of "Wednesday" on Netflix.
