More characters could be announced in the coming months, depending on the expansion of the cast and storyline.

Of course, more characters from season one will officially return in the upcoming season. Among them will be the Addams Family, with lead actress Jenna Ortega playing the iconic Wednesday Addams and her mother Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones). Joining them will be Luis Guzman as Gomez, Emma Myers as Enid, and the original 1991 version of Wednesday, Christina Ricci, who played one of the villains in season one.

Ortega also hopes to executive produce the next season, which will include more horror and forget the romance storyline altogether. Westworld has a creepy element to it, and anyone who has seen the series knows that Newton's performance is a standout. So it makes sense why Ortega and the casting directors welcomed her into their creepy, spooky universe.
