Anjelica Huston: The Perfect Addams Family Cameo For Wednesday Season 3

Addams Family at Nevermore in Wednesday season 2

Wednesday season 3 can continue the show’s Addams Family cameo trend in the perfect way. By the time of Wednesday season 2’s ending, it became more clear than ever that the show is not afraid to include cameos. Outside of Wednesday season 2’s main cast members, the show included several surprise appearances.

Be it Haley Joel Osment as the Kansas City Scalper or Lady Gaga as Rosaline Rotwood, Wednesday continued a trend born in season 1. This naturally turns the attention to Wednesday season 3’s story, with many wondering which big actors could pop up. Concerning a certain Addams Family trend, the perfect person for a Wednesday season 3 cameo is already evident.

After Christina Ricci & Christopher Lloyd, Anjelica Huston Needs To Cameo In Wednesday Season 3

The trend in question is casting members from the 1990s Addams Family movies as characters in Wednesday. In seasons 1 and 2, Christina Ricci, who played Wednesday herself in the 90s movies, appeared as Marilyn Thornhill. Wednesday season 2 then cast Christopher Lloyd, who played Uncle Fester in the original movies, as Professor Orloff.

With those cameos in mind, the perfect person to cast in Wednesday season 3 is Anjelica Huston. Huston played Morticia Addams in 1991’s The Addams Family and its sequel, 1993’s Addams Family Values. Given that Wednesday season 3 is expected to continue the show’s Addams Family cameos, Huston would be the next big name after Ricci and Lloyd.

As such, it makes perfect sense for Huston to return to the world of the Addams Family, only this time as a new character, just as Ricci and Lloyd did before. Moreover, Huston is still a prominent Hollywood actor, having had roles in franchises like John Wick and Star Wars in recent years.

Wednesday Season 3 Needs A New Addams Family Movie Actor After Season 2Killed The Others Off

Aside from Huston’s recent acting credits and her well-known status, Wednesday season 2’s shocking character deaths rendered the need for a new Addams Family cameo all the greater. In Wednesday season 2, episode 4, Marilyn was killed by Tyler after failing to take advantage of his parental issues once more.

Professor Orloff then met a similarly bleak fate after Puglsey’s zombie, Slurp, later revealed as former Nevermore student Isaac Night, ate his brain. Therefore, there is no representation of the Addams Family movies from the 1990s for the first time in Wednesday‘s history.

Casting Huston, or anyone else from the series, in Wednesday season 3 would avoid this reality. Also, Wednesday did not see Ricci and Lloyd on screen together. A proper, on-screen Addams Family reunion would delight fans of the older movies, meaning Wednesday season 3 has the chance to bring this to fruition via Huston’s potential role and anyone else brought over from the 1990s universe.

In terms of who Anjelica Huston could possibly play in Wednesday season 3, the possibilities are nearly endless. The obvious answer would be another Nevermore teacher, given that Ricci portrayed Marilyn, who was a botanical sciences teacher, and Lloyd played Orloff, a professor of elderly biology.

Following on from this, Huston could be introduced in a similar role. Nevermore’s teachers tend to be occupied by big actors, from the aforementioned Addams Family cameos and Gwendoline Christie and Steve Buscemi as the school’s deans to Gaga’s appearance as a former teacher and Billie Piper’s role as a music teacher.

As a result, Huston’s appearance as yet another one of Nevermore’s teachers would make a lot of sense and fit with the show’s prior seasons. Finally, Huston could play a role linked to Wednesday‘s Opehlia Frump. Ophelia, the presumed-dead sister of Morticia and daughter of Hester, will seemingly be the villain of Wednesday season 3.

This promises a deeper exploration of the Frump family than has been provided in the first two seasons. Given that Huston portrayed a former Frump in Morticia Addams, it would be a solid, meta Easter egg to cast her as another Frump in Wednesday season 3. Regardless of who she plays, Huston is the perfect choice to continue the show’s Addams Family cameo trend.
