Tim Burton's "WEDNESDAY" To Premier On Netflix Thanksgiving Weekend!
Fans were bummed out when Netflix released their slate of Halloween programming and Tim Burton’s “WEDNESDAY” Was not among the various shows and movies and all we were told was that the new show, bringing The Addams Family back to the small screen, would be released in the Fall. Now we have a proper premier date for the show focusing on Wednesday Addams.
“Wednesday” comes to Netflix on November 23, 2022!
Jenna Ortega stars in the new series as Wednesday Addams, with Luis Guzmán playing Gomez and Catherine Zeta-Jones playing Morticia in Tim Burton’s Netflix series.
Ortega teases, “Wednesday is currently a teenager, and we’ve never seen her as a teenager before. Her snarky, snide remarks might not necessarily sound as charming when they’re coming from somebody who should probably know better than a 10-year-old girl. That was a balancing act. We didn’t want to make her sound like every other teenage girl, but we also didn’t want to make her too ignorant. And we’ve never seen her on screen this much. Any other time you’ve seen Wednesday, she’s been the one-liner, the end of a joke, she always hits it, and I think that’s what people really love about her. But in this show, every scene is Wednesday.
“There’s an opportunity to give her a bit more dimension, and she becomes a bit more of a real person, which I don’t think we’ve ever seen before.”
“Wednesday” is described as “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.” It’s said to follow…
“Wednesday’s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships.”
Christina Ricci will also appear in the show, playing a brand new role.
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) are writing and showrunning. Burton is directing.
