Prior to Wednesday, Ortega was best known for her role as Ellie Alves in the second season of You, but she actually got her start as a child actress. The California native portrayed young Jane on Jane the Virgin from 2014 to 2019 and was later cast as Harley Diaz in Disney Channel's Stuck in the Middle.

Christopher Lloyd joins “Wednesday” Season 2 as Professor Orloff, the oldest and strictest teacher at Nevermore. The casting marks a return to the Addams Family universe for Lloyd, as he previously played Uncle Fester in the 1991 film “The Addams Family” and reprised the role in 1993’s “Addams Family Values.”

Barry Dort's role in Wednesday season 2 with authoritarian leadership, disdain for Normies, and willingness to manipulate students make him a strong figure in the plot.
