Fred Armisen to Star on Hulu’s “Deli Boys” for Season Two

Fred Armisen has landed a deli-ghtful role…

The 58-year-old half-Venezuelan American actor, comedian and former Saturday Night Live star, has joined the cast of Hulu’s Deli Boys for the show’s second season.

Fred ArmisenArmisen will join the series regular cast alongside Asif Ali, Saagar Shaikh and Poorna Jagannathan.

Deli Boys follows Mir and Raj Dar (Ali and Shaikh), a pair of pampered Pakistani American brothers who lose everything and are forced to reckon with their Baba’s (Iqbal Theba) secret life of crime as they attempt to take up his mantle in the underworld.

Jagannathan stars as Naveeda “Lucky,” Baba’s confidant and a crime boss auntie.

Armisen will play a legendary gambling savant with an uncanny ability to read people like cards in the half-hour series. His casino empire is global, but his crown jewel is in Philly. He is uniquely brilliant and deeply unhinged — a deadly combo if you cross him.

Deli Boys was created by Abdullah Saeed and developed by Jenni Konner and Nora Silver under Jenni Konner Productions.

Michelle Nader will return as showrunner and executive producer of Season 2. She will EP alongside Saeed, Konner, and Silver. Nisha Ganatra served as executive producer and director of the pilot.

20th Television produces the comedy series.

Armisen most recently reprised the role of Uncle Fester in Season 2 of Netflix’s Wednesday, starring opposite Jenna Ortega. In May, he concluded his time voicing Elliot Birch in the eighth and final season of Netflix’s Big Mouth.

Armisen is perhaps best known for his 11 seasons on NBC’s Saturday Night Live, as co-creator and co-star of IFC’s Portlandia, and co-writer, co-star, and EP of HBO’s Spanish-Language series Los Espookys.

On the film side, he recently voiced a character in The Super Mario Bros. Movie and starred in Judd Apatow’s The Bubble.

He’s currently touring “Comedy For Musicians But Everyone Is Welcome” and just wrapped his Broadway debut in All In: Comedy About Love.

Netflix Releases New Trailer for Second Half of Season Two of Jenna Ortega’s “Wednesday”

Jenna Ortega has a new guiding force…

Netflix has released the trailer for Part 2 of Season 2 of the 22-year-old Mexican and Puerto Rican actress,’ hot series Wednesday, which arrives on September 3.

Jenna Ortega, WednesdayIn the teaser clip, Gwendoline Christie’s Principal Larissa Weems is back, at least in Wednesday’s post-Episode 4 regaining of consciousness, asking her if she’s ready for her sponge bath.

As the titular main Addams Family character, Ortega asks if she’s in hell, but no.

In a shocking turn of events, Weems is Wednesday’s new spirit guide, or figure from beyond death who’ll help Wednesday with her psychic visions.

Ortega portrayed Goody Addams, Wednesday’s father’s ancestor who helped her with her ability in Season 1.

The good news is: Wednesday’s not dead.

“Tyler’s still out there. He has plans to kill both of us. I’m going to fix it,” Wednesday tells Enid (Emma Myers), her werewolf roommate whose death came to Wednesday in a vision alongside a crow with a vitreous eye.

“You’re the reason he escaped,” Enid says to Wednesday back in their dorm room.

“She’s got a point,” Weems says walking around the pair, to which Wednesday responds “Stay out of this.”

Enid asks who she’s talking to because she can’t see Weems.

“Every family has dark chapters, Wednesday,” Wednesday’s mother Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) tells her daughter.

“If there’s never a time to unburden yourself with the truth, now is it,” Wednesday says. “A life hangs in the balance.”

“If you don’t hurry, you’ll have nothing left to save,” Weems’ word linger until one last sentence is uttered.

“Beware, there will be a price to pay,” an unknown voice says in the trailer’s final moments. While there’s still no sign of Lady Gaga, could it be her speaking these words?

Come September 3, viewers will find out.

Netflix to Release Season Two of Jenna Ortega’s Hit Series “Wednesday” in Two Parts

Jenna Ortega is splitting her (Wednes)days

Netflix will release season two of the hit series Wednesday, starring the 22-year-old Mexican American actress, in two parts. It’s the first time in awhile that Netflix has employed the split-season release pattern, which it has used on some of its biggest shows

Jenna Ortega, WednesdayPart 1 will be released on August 6, while Part 2 will follow on September 3.

Netflix also released a teaser trailer with a first look at what’s ahead for the second season.

Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, Wednesday follows the titular Addams child to Nevermore Academy, where she learns to master her emerging psychic abilities.

In Season 1, she uncovers a killing spree that was connected to her parents, Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Gomez (Luis Guzmán), who met at the school 15 years earlier.

In the teaser trailer, Wednesday (Ortega) is at an airport walking through security when she sets off the alarm, prompting a TSA agent to alert the teen that she must empty her pockets. She puts her brass knuckles on the conveyor belt, naturally, her pepper spray, knives, nunchucks, taser gun,and a twin-spiked ball flail, among other weapons she casually carries on her person. Additionally, Thing is found in her bag with a mysterious yellow container. That’s what set off the alarm: her sunscreen.

Further, it’s revealed that Wednesday is returning to school, where she is reunited with her roommate Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers).

Zeta-Jones previously teased that their sophomore turn will “be bigger and more twisted than you could ever imagine.”

Ortega has shared that the new episodes will lean more into horror, unlike the teen romance storyline focus from the show’s freshman season.

Season 2 will shine brighter on Wednesday and Morticia’s mother-and-daughter relationship, with new family members to be introduced.

Zeta-Jones, Guzmán, and Isaac Ordoñez, who plays Wednesday’s brother Pugsley, were all upped to series regulars for the show’s sophomore season.

A spinoff expanding the world of Wednesday with a focus on Uncle Fester (played in Season 1 by guest star Fred Armisen) is in the works from Netflix and MGM Television. Uncle Fester appears in Season 2.

Additional casting for Season 2 includes Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo (Sheriff Deputy Ritchie Santiago) being upped to series regular, who will star alongside newly added Billie Piper, Steve Buscemi, Joanna Lumley, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, and Noah Taylor. Lady Gaga will appear as a guest star.

Luis Guzman Upped to Series Regular for Season Two of Netflix’s “Wednesday”

There are more Wednesdays in Luis Guzmán’s future…

The 67-year-old Puerto Rican actor has been promoted to series regular for season two of Netflix’s supernatural mystery Wednesday.

Luis Guzman, Gomez Addams, WednesdayGuzman, who portrays Wednesday’s father Gomez Addams on the series, is among the main cast and guest stars announced by Netflix for the upcoming season, which will once again be headlined by Jenna Ortega.

Production has started in Ireland for a 2025 premiere.

Promoted alongside Guzman as series regulars are Catherine Zeta-Jones, who plays Wednesday’s mom Morticia Addams; Isaac Ordonez (Wednesday’s younger brother Pugsley Addams); and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo (Sheriff Deputy Ritchie Santiago).

Joining Wednesday as new series regulars are Billie Piper, previously revealed Steve Buscemi, Evie TempletonOwen Painter and Noah Taylor.

A teaser, featuring Thing delivering scripts to the cast, reveals the characters for Piper, who will play Capri, and Buscemi, who will portray Barry Dort.

Wednesday creators/executive producers Al Gough and Miles Millar had previously hinted that we might see more Addams family members in Season 2 and explore further Wednesday’s relationship with her mother and the rest of her family. Expanding Jones, Guzmán and Ordonez’s presence next season would fit into that plan — along with delighting fans who had been asking to see more of these characters.

Season 2 will introduce at least one new Addams family member, Grandmama, who will be played by Joanna Lumley in a guest-starring turn, with Fred Armisen set to reprise his guest role as Uncle Fester.

Christopher Lloyd, who played Uncle Fester in the Addams Family film franchise, will also guest star in Season 2 in an undisclosed role, the second cast member from the films to appear on the series after Christina Ricci’s turn last season. Other new Season 2 guest stars include Thandiwe Newton, who will play Dr. Fairburn; Frances O’ConnorHaley Joel OsmentHeather Matarazzo; and Joonas Suotamo.

Returning series regulars are Ortega as Wednesday, Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Hunter Doohan, Victor Dorobantu, Moosa Mostafa and Georgie Farmer.

Meanwhile, Season 1 series regulars Percy Hynes WhiteJamie McShane and Naomi J Ogawa will not be returning in that capacity next season.

Of the three, only McShane is slated to reprise his Sheriff Donovan Galpin role as a guest star, likely to wrap the story of his character. Galpin’s duties may be taken over by his deputy, Santiago, with Lewis-Nyawo now promoted to series regular.

White played psychic Nevermore student Xavier Thorpe, one of the two main Season 1 male leads and a romantic interest for Wednesday (Ortega), who saved his life in the season finale.

Rumors started circulating last fall that his character may be written off. White last June issued a statement, hitting back at since-deleted anonymous January 2023 social media posts that accused him of sexual assault. In his message to fans, White vehemently denied any allegations.

As for Ogawa, her vampire student character Yoko Tanaka spent Season 1 largely in the background, with diminishing screen time as the season went on and no major storylines.

The teaser, which you can watch below, also reveals that the first episode of Season 2 is titled “Here We Woe Again.” It was written by Millar and Gough and is being directed by series director/exec producer Tim Burton.

“We are thrilled that the entire Addams family will be enrolling in Nevermore Academy this season along with a dream cast of icons and new faces,” Millar and Gough said in a statement.

The Season 2 cast photo is taken in the room Wednesday shared with Enid. There is no official logline for next season, but at least some of the action is expected to again take place at Nevermore Academy as the series is charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at there. It is unclear whether that would include Wednesday’s parents. There is a vacancy at the helm of the Academy after the principal (and Morticia’s former roommate) Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie) was killed.

Wednesday‘s first season ranks as Netflix’s most popular English TV series with 252.10 million views. The black comedy spent 20 weeks on the Global Top 10 and reached the top 10 in 93 countries.

Burton, Gough and Millar executive produce with Steve Stark, Andrew Mittman, Tommy Harper, Karen Richards, Kayla Alpert, Jonathan Glickman, Gail Berman and Meredith Averill. Other Season 2 directors include Paco Cabezas and Angela Robinson. MGM Television is the studio.

As the series is starting production in its new location, after filming Season 1 in Romania, Netflix is launching a TikTok channel dedicated to all things Wednesday from Thing’s perspective.

Jenna Ortega Stars in Doritos’ Dinamita Super Bowl Commercial

Jenna Ortega will be bringing the action, and her abuelas, to your television screen during this year’s Super Bowl.

The 21-year-old Mexican American actress and Wednesday star is appearing in DoritosSuper Bowl ad for the snack brand’s new rolled chip brand, Dinamita.

Jenna OrtegaOrtega appears alongside her fictional grandmothers, Dina and Mita, for a grocery store trip.

When the Scream actress walks to another aisle, a feud begins between Dina, Mita and another Doritos Dinamita fan played by Danny Ramirez.

The grandma-duo duke it out with the Top Gun: Maverick actor over the last chip bag — motorized scooters and all.

Ortega, oblivious to her grandmothers’ high-speed chase, calls out for them at the grocery store.

Dina and Mita karate chop and kick their opponent but still have grandmother-like tendencies, including taking a break from the action to coo at a baby. While fawning at the infant, Ramirez escapes in an elevator with the chips. But he can’t get away that easily. Dina and Mita create a makeshift zipline to knock him out and take back the snack.

“It’s not dynamite,” the ladies correct Ramirez. “It’s Dinamita.”

“Abuelas!” Ortega says, taking the chips out of Dina and Mita’s hands. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you.”

Doritos has been a part of Super Bowl commercial breaks for 24 years, according to a release, but this is both Ortega’s and Doritos Dinamita’s first-ever Super Bowl commercial. Ortega told PEOPLE filming the commercial was like “coming home.”

“For the first year of my career, I was only allowed to do commercials,” she explained. “And I did some big ones, but nothing to the level of this or to this extent. So it was like a weird nostalgic, ‘Wow, it’s been 12 years and then this is where I’m at now.'”

Ortega told PEOPLE that, in addition to loving the chip brand, her costars and commercial crew drew her into the project.

“You have Dina and Mita, two Latinas as the lead, and then we got to bring Danny Ramirez on board, who is another really wonderful Latino actor who’s doing so well right now,” she said, adding shout-outs to the director, cinematographer and the other film crew members. “I think that it is just a really, really wonderful celebration of Latin culture.”

Netflix Considering “Wednesday” Spinoff Centered Around Fred Armisen’s Uncle Fester Character

Fred Armisen’s most recent role may be festering a new series…

Netflix is looking to build a franchise around its reigning most popular series, with a Wednesday spinoff centered around the 57-year-old half-Venezuelan American actor/comedian’s Uncle Fester character in early development at the streamer from MGM Television.

Fred ArmisenConversations about the offshoot are happening alongside preparations for Season 2 of Wednesday — a new take of The Addams Family starring Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams — which became a ratings and pop culture phenomenon when it launched in November 2022.

The horror comedy ranks as Netflix’s most popular English-language series with 252.1M views, almost doubling the next most popular television season on the streamer.

Fred Armisen, Uncle Fester

Armisen guest starred in one episode of Wednesday‘s first season in a memorable appearance as Uncle Fester, brother of Wednesday’s father Gomez Addams (Luis Guzman), who used his ability to generate electricity to revive Thing.

Gwendoline ChristieRiki LindhomeJamie McShaneHunter DoohanPercy Hynes WhiteEmma MyersJoy SundayGeorgie Farmer, Naomi J. OgawaChristina Ricci and Moosa Mostafa co-starred in Season 1, with Catherine Zeta-Jones recurring as Wednesday’s mother Morticia.

Season 2 will be filmed in Ireland, with production tentatively slated to begin in late April. Season 1 was shot in Romania.

There is little information about where the mothership Wednesday series would go thematically in Season 2.

Gough and Millar have hinted that we might see more Addams family members — further expanding the universe and potentially setting up new offshoots — and explore further Wednesday’s relationship with her mother while Ortega, who is becoming a producer for Season 2, has indicated that the show would have stronger emphasize on horror over teen romance.
