Great casting! But honestly, I hope the show focuses more on the core Addams Family dynamics and Wednesday's personal growth. Season 2 felt a bit stretched with so many new characters. Adding more stars is fun, but the story shouldn't suffer.

As someone who grew up watching Winona Ryder in the 90s, this feels like a full-circle moment. Her gothic aesthetic is perfect for this show. Jenna Ortega must be thrilled to work with her 'movie mom' again!

Winona Ryder is the GOAT, no doubt. But I just hope her role is substantial and not just a cameo for hype. The creators have a great setup, they should use talent like hers properly. Fingers crossed!
