‘Wednesday’: Tim Burton’s Addams Family Series Gets November Premiere Date On Netflix
Netflix has announced Tim Burton’s upcoming Addams Family-inspired series ‘Wednesday‘ will premiere this November on the streaming service.
The eight-episode series is described as a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday’s years as a student at the peculiar Nevermore Academy. 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 of the strange and diverse student body.
Jenna Ortega (‘Jane the Virgin’, ‘You’) stars in the title role of Wednesday, with Catherine Zeta-Jones as her mother Morticia, Luis Guzmán (‘Godfather of Harlem’, ‘Narcos’) as her father Gomez, Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams, George Burcea as Lurch, and Victor Dorobantu as Thing, the family’s non-verbal disembodied hand.
Other cast includes Gwendoline Christie (Principal Larissa Weems), Jamie McShane (Sheriff Galpin), Percy Hynes White (Xavier Thorpe), Hunter Doohan (Tyler Galpin), Emma Myers (Enid Sinclair), Joy Sunday (Bianca Barclay), Naomi J Ogawa (Yoko Tanaka), Moosa Mostafa (Eugene Ottinger), Georgie Farmer (Ajax Petropolus), Riki Lindhome (Dr. Valerie Kinbott), with Christina Ricci (Marilyn Thornhill).
The series comes from Al Gough and Miles Millar, the duo behind ‘Smallville’, ‘Into the Badlands’, and ‘The Shannara Chronicles’. The acclaimed director of all things creepy, Tim Burton, is set to make his tv directorial debut on the series and will serve as showrunner alongside Gough and Millar. The team also includes Andrew Mittman for 1.21 (‘The Addams Family’, ‘Alphas’), Kevin Miserocchi (Tee and Charles Addams Foundation), Kayla Alpert (‘Code Black’, ‘Up All Night’), Jonathan Glickman for Glickmania (‘RESPECT’, ‘Addams Family 2’), and Gail Berman (‘The Addams Family’, ‘Alphas’).
