Ortega expressed her enthusiasm to see Cousin Itt, while other actors indicated interest in introducing Grandmama Addams, a character who will be played by Joanna Lumley.
The cast for the upcoming season includes renowned actors such as Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams, Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley, and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo as Sheriff Deputy Ritchie Santiago.

This integration of new talent like Gaga not only excites fans but signifies the show’s commitment to enhancing its narrative depth and entertainment value.
