BREAKING: Robert Plant Joins “Wednesday” Season 2 as Magnus Blackthorne — When Darkness Begins to Sing Its Own Song**
*Hollywood, Netflix Studios* — In a casting move no one saw coming, Netflix has just confirmed that rock legend Robert Plant, the iconic frontman of Led Zeppelin, will make his dramatic acting debut in *Wednesday* Season 2. Plant will portray **Magnus Blackthorne**, an enigmatic and ancient sorcerer who wields the eerie ability to manipulate minds through sound — a character whose power blurs the line between music and magic.
Described by showrunner Miles Millar as “a force of nature cloaked in velvet and shadows,” Blackthorne is set to become both mentor and menace to Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega). A spectral composer with a haunted past, Blackthorne’s arrival at Nevermore Academy stirs the darkest corners of its history — and hints at a deeper, more mystical threat rising from beneath the school’s foundations.
“Robert Plant is not just a music icon — he *is* mythic,” said co-creator Alfred Gough. “His presence, his voice, his mystique — it’s everything Magnus Blackthorne needs to be. The moment he walked on set, it felt like he stepped out of another century.”
Plant, 77, is no stranger to dark poetry and mysticism. Led Zeppelin’s catalog is steeped in cryptic symbolism, Norse mythology, and esoteric references — themes that will now breathe life into his portrayal of Blackthorne. Fans can expect his character to communicate as much through haunting melodies and spoken incantations as traditional dialogue.
Plant himself expressed enthusiasm about the role in a brief statement: “I’ve spent a lifetime exploring the magic of sound. This is just another chapter — a darker one, perhaps, but no less thrilling.”
Season 2 of *Wednesday* promises a deeper dive into the supernatural underworld teased in Season 1, with fresh faces, returning favorites, and now, a literal rock god joining the fray. Whether Magnus Blackthorne is friend, foe, or something far stranger remains to be seen.
One thing is certain: when darkness begins to sing its own song, Wednesday Addams may face her most enigmatic challenge yet.
*Wednesday* Season 2 is currently in production and set to premiere in Spring 2026, exclusively on Netflix.
