Wednesday season 2 is here – the first half, at any rate – with more deliciously dark and spooky shenanigans in the accursed Vermont town of Jericho.
Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) is back at Nevermore Academy for more lessons of the deeply alarming kind. This time, it’s werewolf roomie Enid (Emma Myers) under threat from a mysterious force. There’s dark deeds and even darker magic – and that’s just the official school syllabus.
The task of soundtracking these dark and dismal goings-on fell to music supervisors Jen Malone and Nicole Weisberg – and the pair have gone big with some knowing, surprising and tonally spot-on new musical choices. ‘We took the energy of what we did for Season 1 and opened another door,’ says Weisberg. ‘So now season 2 feels more expansive musically.’
Look out for tracks from pre-emo alt rockers Sixpence None the Richer, goth rock legends Sisters of Mercy, K-pop girl group Mamamoo, and even classical OGs Mozart, Wagner and Prokofiev.
There’s also a classic movie cue from Bernard Herrmann’s Vertigo score and a couple of zombie-themed bangers to make Pugsley Addams’s pet shuffler Slurp feel right at home.
