Piper will play new character Isadora Capri in season 2.
Some new first-look images have been revealed for Wednesday season 2, giving us a glimpse at Doctor Who star Billie Piper’s new character.
Piper’s character, Isadora Capri, is seen to have bright ginger hair. In one image, she is seen wearing a leopard-print dress, while another sees her walking alongside Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair.
On Tudum, a description for Piper’s character Isadora Capri says: “Nevermore’s staff is getting a little bit bigger. Isadora is the Academy’s new head of music. A former child prodigy, Isadora is brilliant, intense, and enigmatic.
“She takes a special interest in Wednesday’s musical gifts and becomes a mentor to fellow werewolf Enid Sinclair.”
In a post on Instagram, alongside one of the new images of Piper’s character, a caption said: “Ms Capri went from Julliard to Nevermore. That’s either redemption. Or exile.”
The new season of Wednesday, which also sees Steve Buscemi, Joanna Lumley, Thandiwe Newton and Christopher Lloyd joining the cast, will be released in two parts, with the first arriving on Wednesday 6th August and the second on Wednesday 3rd September.
The synopsis for season 2, which once again stars Jenna Ortega, says: “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.”
Piper was most recently seen returning to Doctor Who, after Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor regenerated into her.
It is not currently clear whether she is playing a new incarnation of the Doctor, reprising her role as Rose Tyler, or whether something altogether different is going on.
