In typical Addams Family style (darkly humorous, delightfully poised), Jenna Ortega steps into the spotlight as Wednesday Addams. The goth girl from the films is the focus of the spinoff series. This is our first look at her look in full Wednesday stylings, and everything about her look, from the sleek braids to the winged rose details on her dress, seem tailor made to introduce a fantastic new murder-mystery series.
We don't know much about the new show, which will be Tim Burton's television director debut, but we do know that Wednesday Addams will be taking on the role of a teenage snoop. A comedy show, a supernatural mystery, and a locked room whodunit will be part of the show. She will have psychic powers to contend with, along with the other spooky going-ons at her home away from home, Nevermore Academy. The creators of Smallville will serve as both the show's showrunner and writers.
The original Wednesday Addams, Christina Ricci, is in on the whole thing. Ricci will return to the Addams household in a new unseen character role. Louis Guzmn is going to play Gomez Addams, Catherine Zeta-Jones is going to play Morticia Addams, and Gwendoline Christie is going to play another character.
Wednesday will premiere on the streaming service.
