The return of the goth icon.
On Monday, Netflix released the teaser footage of Scream actress Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams for Tim Burton’s Wednesday series during Netflix’s Geeked Week 2022. The clip shows Ortega as Wednesday with a welcomed appearance by Thing, a handy disembodied assistant to the Addams family. The series will drop on the streaming service in late 2022 with an 8-episode season.
Wednesday is described as a supernatural sleuthing mystery following a teenage Wednesday Addams during her time at Nevermore Academy. The show will explore Wednesday’s psychic ability to stop a killing spree and solve a supernatural mystery involving her parents.
