Lloyd also played Uncle Fester in the 1991 Addams Family film.
Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Isaac Ordonez and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo have been promoted to series regulars from returning actors from the first season.
Other than Wednesday, Ortega will also star alongside Burton on Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, which releases in theatres Sept. 6.
