Wednesday is one of the most highly-anticipated series coming to Netflix this fall and the streaming giant just got us even more excited about it. The first look at the main cast is here and it offers a glimpse at the members of the Addams Family.

Netflix previously shared a look of Jenna Ortega as the titular character Wednesday Addams, but they decided to take things up a notch. The new photos also offer a look at Catherine Zeta-Jones as matriarch Morticia, Luis Guzmán as her loyal husband Gomez, and Isaac Ordonez as Wednesday’s hapless brother Pugsley.

Co-creators Miles Millar and Alfred Gough worked closely with executive producer and director Tim Burton on this project, drawing inspiration from Charles Addams’ original cartoons and trying to make something completely unique.

“That’s something that was very important to the show—that it didn’t feel like a remake or a reboot… It’s not trying to be the movies or the ’60s TV show. That was very important to us and very important to Tim,” Millar told Vanity Fair.

This series will center on Wednesday Addams during her time as a high school student at Nevermore Academy, where she attempts to master her psychic powers. It’s set to premiere in the fourth quarter of 2022, but Netflix is yet to confirm its official release date.

Gwendoline Christie became a household name during her time on Game of Thrones, and she’s getting ready to star in another high-profile series. The Emmy-nominated actress landed a key role in the upcoming Addams Family-inspired Netflix series Wednesday.

This coming-of-age comedy, directed by Tim Burton, will chart Wednesday Addams’ mystery-infused years as a student at Nevermore Academy. Christie will play Larissa Weems, described as “the principal of Nevermore Academy who still has an ax to grind with her former classmate Morticia Addams.”

Christie will be in a pretty good company when this series premiers on Netflix since its main cast includes Jenna Ortega in the titular role, Luis Guzmán as Gomez, and Catherine Zeta-Jones will star as Morticia Addams. The supporting cast will include Thora Birch, Riki Lindhome, Jamie McShane, Hunter Doohan, and Moosa Mostafa.

Christie made a name for herself with the Emmy-nominated role on Game of Thrones and later went on to play Captain Phasma in the Star Wars franchise. She most recently appeared in movies The Personal History of David Copperfield and Our Friend and is currently attached to Netflix’s adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s iconic comic book series The Sandman.

Academy Award-winning actress Catherine Zeta-Jones landed the role of Morticia Addams in the Addams Family-based Netflix’s television series Wednesday. Zeta-Jones joins a cast that already includes Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams and Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams, the patriarch of the Addams family.

The news was recently confirmed by Netflix on streamer’s official social media.

Wednesday will be directed and executive produced by iconic director Tim Burton. The series, which will have eight episodes, focuses on Wednesday Addams and chronicles her years as a student at Nevermore Academy. It will follow Wednesday as she “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 at Nevermore.”

The quirky Addams family originates from The New Yorker cartoons created by Charles Addams in 1938. His works later served as a basis for a movie and television franchise that spanned several live-action and animated projects.

The most famous works featuring the Addams family are a pair of 1990s movies directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. The 1991’s The Addams Family was a big commercial success, while its 1993’s sequel Addams Family Values received an Academy Award nomination and was considered one of the best movies of the year by critics.

A Wednesday Addams series has been ordered by Netflix with Tim Burton set to direct and executive produce.

Netflix has given the coming-of-age series an eight-episode order. The series, created by Al Gough and Miles Millar, will be based on the character originally created by Charles Addams.

Wednesday is a supernatural mystery that follows Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy. She tries to mater her psychic ability, stop a monstrous killing spree, and solve the supernatural mystery that her parents faced 25 years ago, while dealing with her relationships at Nevermore.

Lisa Loring originally playing the character in the 1960s Addams Family TV series and since then, Wednesday has been portrayed onscreen many times over the years. Christina Ricci played the character in two Addams Family features in the 1990s and Chloë Grace Moretz voices Wednesday in the animated films.

This will be one of the few television projects of Burton’s career. He’s best known for his film work including Edward Scissorhands, Batman, Batman Returns, Ed Wood, and Mars Attacks. His TV work includes Alfred Hitchcock Presents and Beetlejuice.

The movie is scheduled for release on October 11, 2019, with Sausage Party duo, Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan, directing from a script written by Matt Lieberman.

“Greg and I have always been a fan of the Addams Family in past versions, so when we set out to make this movie, we were excited to do something new,” said Vernon in a statement. “With that in mind, I drew from the brilliantly original Charles Addams New Yorker cartoons for the look of the film and decided to tell the story of how Gomez and Morticia meet, find their house and start their family.”

According to the short synopsis provided by MGM, the movie will see the family getting into a face-off with the crafty reality-TV host while hosting a major celebration for their extended family at the same time.

The Addams Family was created by cartoonist Charles Addams as a cartoon featured in The New Yorker. The cartoon saw several adaptations in the past, including three feature films and a television series.
