Gwendoline Christie’s Ghostly Return to Wednesday Marks Career Evolution

A Supernatural Return to Nevermore

Gwendoline Christie has made a dramatic return to Netflix’s hit series ‘Wednesday’ Season 2, which released its Part 2 on September 4, 2025. Though her character Principal Larissa Weems died in Season 1, she has returned as a specter, serving as a spirit guide for Wednesday Addams.

In this new supernatural incarnation, Weems maintains her characteristic wit and fashion sense, but is only visible to select characters. While this ghostly state offers some liberation, she’s confined to witnessing events without the ability to intervene directly.

Career Achievements and Current Projects

Christie’s performance continues to garner recognition, as she received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series in 2025. The acclaimed actress has also joined the cast of Season Two of ‘Severance,’ the Ben Stiller-directed Apple TV+ series, expressing ‘unbridled excitement’ for the project.

Evolution as an Artist

Working with director Tim Burton has been particularly significant for Christie’s artistic growth. As she revealed, ‘Tim has given me a lot of confidence’ by welcoming and integrating her ideas, providing her with experience that she now carries into other work. While continuing to support British independent film through various projects, Christie has also become recognized for her distinctive fashion choices, often collaborating with high-profile designers. Her unique presence has established her as an influential figure within the television and film communities.

As Season 2 of ‘Wednesday’ concludes with numerous lingering questions, the future of Weems remains appropriately ambiguous. However, with Wednesday still experiencing premonitions and dangers lurking around Jericho, future supernatural assistance might be required.
