Fans craving the lighthearted chaos of WHAT’S UP WARTHOGS can mark their calendars, because new episodes arrive tomorrow at 5pm ET on Family Channel for viewers across Canada and the United States.
Season two is packed with surprises, and Eduard Witzke, the actor better known as Charlie, offers a glimpse of what’s ahead.
Charlie has grown more confident in his role. He sports a refreshed look and wardrobe, and this season he gets to pull off some truly outrageous moments. He earns a promotion to on-location reporter, putting him at the heart of the action, and his unique take on each situation adds a distinctive spark that complements WHAT’S UP WARTHOGS.
Though Charlie’s conspiracy theory humor remains, it’s woven into the story rather than taking over. He still flashes his quirky ideas, but he’s now more connected with the group. His randomness serves the plot, his jokes are sharper, and a season two storyline introduces the moment when a girl develops a crush on Charlie, which was a lot of fun to explore.
As for the show overall, season two feels like a brand-new program with upgrades across the board. The chemistry among the cast is stronger, and several directors have helped elevate moments beyond what the script laid out. The production design has improved, with hair, makeup, and wardrobe looking sharper. The episodes deliver moments that frequently spark genuine laughter on set.
One standout moment for Charlie across the series so far is a retirement-home sequence in which he pitches life after work to his classmates. That scene captures the tone and energy the cast brings to the show and remains a memorable highlight.
On-set dynamics are famously positive. The four leads share a tight working relationship, with personal bonds that deepen the on-screen chemistry. Eduard notes closeness with Ana and Karissa, and his rapport with Tiago feels earned, translating into authentic performances. Off-set, the laughter is just as plentiful as on-set.
Improv is a regular feature of the process. The production environment encourages quick thinking, and the executive producer grants the cast freedom to test jokes at just the right moment. Sometimes a line is written in later, or decided moments before filming, and the team loves that creative latitude to shape a scene. Charlie’s moments thrive when everyone’s voice is heard, and the team shares a common goal: to make the show shine.
After two seasons, some aspects of Charlie slip into Eduard’s daily life. He might drop a witty line or act with a touch of Charlie in ordinary moments, while also weaving in elements of Ed that enrich the character.
In his downtime, the actor says rest is essential—sleep, kick back, and a break from memorizing pages. He looks forward to recharging and notes that season three will likely bring the team back to Toronto for filming.
If Charlie could be another character on the show, he would enjoy exploring the world of Victoria or Eric to relish their on-air segments. He also admires Mr. Denovi for his strong storytelling and the chemistry he shares with the rest of the cast, which would be a lot of fun to explore.
Looking ahead, the actor describes season two as a totally different feel and says he’s excited for audiences to see the upgrade. He believes viewers will be impressed by how much the show has evolved.
The conversation concludes with a reminder to catch the season two premiere of WHAT’S UP WARTHOGS tomorrow at 5pm ET on Family.
