Netflix’s ‘Wednesday’ Introduces Uncle Fester & Christina Ricci’s Character
Fester has been missing from previous trailers, but don’t worry – the whole family is getting together in Netflix’s Wednesday.
Tim Burton is bringing the family back to the small screen with a focus on the Addams’ homicidal daughter, Wednesday. The Addams’ only daughter has been kicked out of multiple schools for her homicidal tendencies. Maybe she’ll fit in at Nevermore Academy. A school that holds a mystery and a monster for the cynical pre-teen.
The trailer debuted at NYCC reveals another Addams family member, a monster, and a teacher with a familiar face. Plus blood splatter… from somewhere. Take a look…
I don’t think we’re getting a Granny Frump, so I’ll count this as the family being complete. I’m not a giant Fred Armisen fan, but he fits right in with the rest of the cast and will make a great Uncle Fester. Curious to see what Miss Thornhill’s role is in this mystery and what kind of relationship she’ll have with Wednesday.
