Jenna Ortega plays the titular role and is joined by Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams and Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams.

The Scream actor already shared her hopes for season two, a mere few days before Netflix made it official.

"I kind of want her to be darker," she said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. "I want her to get more in the nitty-gritty of things and not play things so safe.

"Because there are a lot of lines about her saving the school and doing whatever, but for me, her main drive with the monster is of a competitiveness. Kind of, ‘Man, how’s this guy doing this?’"

"I think I want it to continue down an antihero stream rather than a typical hero."
