Netflix just revealed the first look and main cast of their upcoming Adam’s family spin-off series Wednesday. The black and white photo of the maincasts was shared by the streaming’s official social media accounts.
Jenna Ortega will play the title role Wednesday, who previously shared a short video of her character on her Instagram account. Ortega will be joined by Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán, who will play her bizarre but lovable parents Morticia and Gomez, and Isaac Ordonez will take the role her brother Pugsley.
Netflix said that “the new series, the iconic spawn of the Addams family is on her own for the first time — and things get predictably gothic. After she’s expelled from her “normal” human high school over an incident involving piranhas (yes, you read that correctly), Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) is sent away to Nevermore Academy, a school for, shall we say, unique students. What she discovers there is a tantalizing, bloody murder mystery — and maybe, just maybe, a few friends as odd as she is.”
Other cast members of the Wednesday series includes;
- Gwendoline Christie as Nevermore Academy school administrator Larissa Weems
- Christina Ricci as Nevermore dorm mom Marilyn Thornhill (who played Wednesday in the ’90s Addams Family films)
- Riki Lindhome as Dr. Valerie Kinbott
- Jamie McShane as Sheriff Donovan Galpin
- Hunter Doohan as Tyler Galpin
- Georgie Farmer as Ajax Petropolus
- Moosa Mostafa as Eugene Otinger
- Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair
- Naomi J. Ogawa as Yoko Tanaka
- Joy Sunday as Bianca Barclay
- Percy Hynes White as Xavier Thorpe
- Gwendoline Christie as Larissa Weems
- Victor Dorobantu as Thing
Wednesday Addams and the Addams Family is created by American cartoonist Charles Addams, the series was created by Michael Gough and Miles Millar, the first season of the series were directed by Tim Burton. Wednesday will be available for stream on Netflix this coming fall.
