Are you ready for Part Two of Season 2 of Wednesday? With Wednesday, you should always expect the unexpected, like a new spirit guide perhaps. What more does fate have in store for Wednesday Addams?
Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), returns to prowl the Gothic halls of Nevermore Academy, where fresh foes and woes await. This season, Wednesday must navigate family, friends and old adversaries, propelling her into another year of delightfully dark and kooky mayhem. Armed with her signature razor-sharp wit and deadpan charm, Wednesday is also plunged into a new bone-chilling supernatural mystery.
This year, Wednesday is joined at school by a new member of the Addams family: her little brother Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez), who begins his own Nevermore journey. Their parents, Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Gomez Addams (Luis Guzmán), will also have an increased presence on campus — a rare new form of torture for the fiercely independent amateur sleuth.
Familiar favorites like Wednesday’s roommate Enid (Emma Myers), frenemy Bianca (Joy Sunday), barista by day and murderous Hyde by night Tyler (Hunter Doohan), Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen) and, of course, Thing (Victor Dorobantu) are returning. They will be joined by a few new faces, such as Grandmama Hester Frump (Joanna Lumley) and Principal Dort (Steve Buscemi).

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do. And that enables you to laugh at life’s realities."
The Finding Nemomusical at Animal Kingdom has been my favorite Disney Worldshow for years. And my favorite scene is Bruce the shark and his pals singing "Fish Are Friends, Not Food". It makes me laugh every time!

The second part of the epic musical Wickedlooks even more spectacular than the first. Taking place both before and after the arrival of Dorothy Gale, the story continues to focus on the friendship between Glinda and Elphaba.
Here's the official synopsis from Universal:
The final chapter of the untold story of the witches of Oz begins with Elphaba and Glinda estranged and living with the consequences of their choices.
Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), now demonized as The Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile, hidden within the Ozian forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz’s silenced Animals and desperately trying to expose the truth she knows about The Wizard (Jeff Goldblum).
Glinda (ArianaGrande), meanwhile, has become the glamorous symbol of Goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and reveling in the perks of fame and popularity. Under the instruction of Madame Morrible (Michelle Yeoh), Glinda is deployed to serve as an effervescent comfort to Oz, reassuring the masses that all is well under the rule of The Wizard.
As Glinda’s stardom expands and she prepares to marry Prince Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey) in a spectacular Ozian wedding, she is haunted by her separation from Elphaba. She attempts to broker a conciliation between Elphaba and The Wizard, but those efforts will fail, driving Elphaba and Glinda only further apart. The aftershocks will transform Boq (Ethan Slater) and Fiyero forever, and threaten the safety of Elphaba’s sister, Nessarose (Marissa Bode), when a girl from Kansas comes crashing into all their lives.
As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, Glinda and Elphaba will need to come together one final time. With their singular friendship now the fulcrum of their futures, they will need to truly see each other, with honesty and empathy, if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz, for good.
"Wicked: For Good" also stars Bowen Yang and Bronwyn James as Glinda’s fawning assistants, Pfannee and ShenShen and Sharon D. Clarke as the voice of Elphaba’s childhood nanny, Dulcibear.
Wicked: For Good arrives in theaters on November 21.
