Catherine Zeta-Jones: Morticia Addams in Tim Burton's Wednesday

Anjelica Hudson and Carolyn Jones (as well as Charlize Theron's voice) were her predecessors. Now it is Catherine Zeta Jones turn to play the role of Morticia, the Addams family matriarch. Following the supernatural adventures of Wednesday Addams, the Oscar winner is the latest addition to Tim Burton's series on Netflix.AdvertisementOther details are not yet available. Zeta-Jones plays Morticia, Luis Guzmn plays her husband Gomez, and Jenna Ortega plays Wednesday. Based on what we know, it is possible that the Morticia or Gomez characters will be more prominent in this story. The eight-episode series is not called The Addams Family. It will air on Wednesday. Variety reminds us that Burton will be focusing the story on one character. We will see a supernaturally-infused mystery about Wednesday Addams time at Nevermore Academy. Wednesday's efforts to master her psychic ability, stop a murder spree that has terrorized her local town, and solve a supernatural mystery that engulfed her parents 25 year ago, all while she navigates her new and very complicated relationships at Nevermore.It's clear that there are Chilling Adventures of Sabrina-type vibes in this description. After some career detours that saw Johnny Depp covered with special effects and a live-action Disney flying animal, it's exciting to think about what Tim Burton could do if he truly embraces his goth roots. Hell will executive produce and direct the show alongside Al Gough and Miles Millar, but there is no information yet about when it might be available on Netflix.Are you curious about where our RSS feed went.
