Series two sees Jenna Ortega return at the lead character as she heads back to Nevermore Academy, which is now led by new principal Barry Dort, who is played by Steve Buscemi.

Joanna Lumley is also a new addition to the cast for the second series, which sees Wednesday’s little brother Pugsley, played by Isaac Ordonez, joining her at the school for the first time.
