Gwendoline Christie discusses her role as a ghost in the upcoming season 2 of 'Wednesday'
In the gripping season finale of Wednesday, Principal Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie) met her untimely demise. However, the surprise twist of the supernatural world came to light in season two, as Weems returned as a spectre.
Christie, known for her role as Brienne of Tarth in Game of Thrones, found the unconventional role of a ghost appealing. She expressed that the unique acting experience of being ignored as Weems was a blessed relief, providing a beneficial aspect for her character's development.
In season two, Weems serves as a reluctant spirit guide for Wednesday Addams, offering a dynamic that gives an overarching feeling of deep, almost painful and eternal solitude, according to Christie. The dynamic between Weems, Wednesday, and Morticia provides an alienating and isolating feel, further emphasizing the character's loneliness.
Christie also delved into the idea of ghosts, being in a graveyard, and the feeling of being haunted for her role as Weems. She discussed Weems' return from the dead, stating that it would be enthralling but painful to view life continuing without her.
Gwendoline Christie worked on getting back into character as Weems by spending time around elderly people and those in liminal spaces. Her dedication to the role was evident, as she reprised the role in the first episode of Wednesday season two part two.
Fans of Wednesday can now stream season two, featuring Gwendoline Christie as Principal Weems, on Netflix. Weems can only interact with Wednesday Addams and Morticia in her ghostly state, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the series.
Despite the isolation, Christie loved the unique acting experience despite the isolation. She found the character's invisibility and longing to be someone else relatable, reflecting her own desires at times.
In a surprising turn of events, Principal Weems dies in the season one finale but returns as a spectre in season two, offering a captivating twist to the series. Christie's portrayal of the character is both enthralling and haunting, adding depth to the supernatural elements of Wednesday.
