Wednesday star returning to series despite ‘pointless’ death scene
Gwendoline Christie is returning to Wednesday season 2 part 2
- Gwendoline Christie, who portrayed Larissa Weems in Netflix's Wednesday, is confirmed to return for the final four episodes of season two, despite her character's death in the first season.
- Christie announced her comeback at a promotional event in Sydney, Australia, alongside co-stars Jenna Ortega and Emma Myers, teasing her return by saying, “I was never gone. You just stopped looking.”
- Her character, Nevermore Academy headmistress Larissa Weems, was killed off in the show's first season, a decision that many viewers criticized as “pointless” and “anticlimactic.”
- Showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar had previously stated that Christie was “totally on board” with her character's demise, finding it surprising.
- The new season of Wednesday, which has aired four episodes, will release its remaining episodes on September 3, with fans also anticipating more emotional expression from Jenna Ortega's lead character.
