Season 2's Wednesday & Morticia Focus Supports Nevermore Principal Theory

The fact that Wednesday and Morticia's relationship was at the forefront in Wednesday season 2 suggests that the duo will be together more often, which would only plausibly happen if Morticia made more appearances at Nevermore Academy. The story teases back theory that Morticia Addams will be Nevermore's new headmaster in Wednesday season 2, thereby exacerbating Morticia's and Wednesday's problems by placing them in such close proximity once again. Considering Wednesday's season 1 finale saw the tragic death of principal Larissa Weems, Nevermore needed a new leader, and Morticia Addams would be a realistic replacement By.

It's much easier to explore Wednesday and Morticia's evolving relationship when they're actually together, but Wednesday season 2 couldn't re-use the 1992 Gates murder to bring Zeta Jones' character back to Jericho. So the potential for Morticia to serve as interim principal at Nevermore is the most organic way to see the women in the Adams family tree interacting more frequently.

Why Morticia Becoming Nevermore Principal Makes Sense For Wednesday Season 2

Wednesday's Season 1 highlighted the outsized influence that Gomez's ancestry had on Nevermore College's history, so it was only logical that the school's next headmaster would become a member of the Addams family. Morticia may be the Adams of marriage, but she also has two children who will carry on the family legacy at the wandering school, as Pugsley could also attend Nevermore in Wednesday's future. Even without family ties, young Morticia Frump was a legend at Nevermore College because of her extracurricular activities, leadership and devotion to the school, a history that would presumably be prioritized in choosing a successor to Principal Larissa Weems.

Morticia's becoming Nevermore's principal on Wednesdays in season 2 will also ensure a nod to Larissa Weems' memory, as Morticia and Larissa were roommates when they were students at Nevermore. In addition to making up for mistakes in her friendship with Larissa, teaching at Nevermore would allow Morticia to redeem her reputation in Jericho after Gomez was accused of murdering Garrett Gates. With Nevermore Academy's drifters recovering from Laurel Gates' murder plot, the Addams family can use this time to heal rifts in the community while also rekindling their influence over the direction of the school, Morticia is well-qualified to lead the charge on Wednesdays Season 2.
