After the success of the 1960s series and the 1990s films, The Addams Family gained such popularity that it was no surprise that the spin-off dedicated to Merlina was a hit on Netflix.
‘Merlina’: The Addams family’s hit series of the eldest daughter
In 2022, “Wednesday” was among the most anticipated series as fans were excited to learn that Tim Burton was the director, in addition to seeing the casting of Jenna Ortega as the eldest daughter of Homer and Morticia Addams.
In its premiere week, “Merlina” was a success, taking the record from “Stranger Things 4” as the most viewed fiction on the platform. Due to this phenomenon, Netflix renewed the fiction in January 2023.
Although they waited 3 months to make the official announcement, the creators of the series waited and already planned how they wanted to develop the story.
While Alfred Gough, the second showrunner, assured “Empire” that there are still many stories to explore regarding the Addams, so it would not be surprising if the fiction had more than two cycles.
Which actors will return for ‘Merlina’ season 2?
There is no doubt that Jenna Ortega will return for season two, as will Emma Myers, who won millions of followers with her portrayal of Enid Sinclair.
There is also speculation that Xavier Thorpe, played by Percy Hynew White, now that Tyler will no longer be around. George Farmer, Naomi J Ogawa, Jamie McShane, Luis Guzman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Issac Ordóñez and Fred Armisen could join the cast.
According to the portal ‘Sensacine’, another member of the Addams family will be joining the series, although they haven’t said who it is yet, but fans believe it could be Uncle Thing or Merlina’s grandmother.
When does ‘Merlina’ season two premiere on Netflix?
Due to the Hollywood writers’ and actors’ strike, the second season of “Merlina”, as well as other Hollywood productions, had to delay production.

In November 2023, it was confirmed that new episodes would begin recording in Ireland in April 2024, so the fiction could arrive on the streaming platform by 2025.
The plot of the second episode remains a secret, as they want to keep the mystery for the fans, so Jenna Ortega was limited only to say that it will be more impressive than the first season.
