We can all take a deep breath now that Netflix has announced when Wednesday will become available to stream. The frightening series developed by Tim Burton, Alfred Gough, and Miles Millar will be available on November 23. Hopefully, you’re the type of Halloween season enthusiast that celebrates all the way through the month and even beyond Thanksgiving. The revelation was announced this morning in a tweet by the serial killer in question. Wednesday, Jenna Ortega’s character, is shown here in her Nevermore Academy outfit while standing in the rain with an umbrella over her head.
In addition to her trademark long black pigtails, this figure is also easily recognisable by her eerily blank expression and perfectly polished black nails. We’ve been eagerly anticipating this fresh spin on an old classic ever since the casting announcements started coming out at the end of last summer. Wednesday Addams, the daughter of Morticia and Gomez, will be the protagonist of the film directed by Tim Burton. The plot centres on Wednesday’s journey to Nevermore, an institution dedicated to developing psychic talents.
While she is there, intriguing events unfold, and she becomes embroiled in the resolution of a secret that has haunted her family since before her birth. In addition to Ortega, the cast also includes Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams, Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley, the youngest member of the Addams family, Riki Lindhome as Dr Valerie Kinbott, Jamie McShane as Sheriff Donovan Galpin, Joy Sunday as Wednesday’s classmate and rival Bianca Barclay, Victor Dorobantu as Thing, George Bur Christina Ricci, who played Wednesday in Barry Sonnenfeld’s remakes of the iconic horror family in 1991 and 1993, will also be a part of the cast.
Right now, Ricci’s position in Netflix’s show is being kept under wraps. The arrival of today’s highly anticipated news follows many weeks’ worth of material and sneak peeks focused on Wednesday. The people working on the show have gone to great lengths to get us as enthusiastic as they are about it, with promotional tools like trailers and interactive websites. Who wouldn’t be excited about a film with as stellar of a cast, plot, and helmer?
It may seem like forever until November 23, but that gives you plenty of time to catch up on everything related to the Addams family.
