Christina Ricci returns to The Addams Family in 'Wednesday' trailer. The 2022 series by Tim Burton introduces Jenna Ortega to play the family's eldest daughter, and brings back the original Wednesday in a ...
Uncle Fester returns, played by Fred Armisen, and Burton recruits long-time collaborator and costume designer Colleen Atwood to deck the series in a perfectly skewed tribute to the family’s famous romantic-gothic getup. Like Wednesday says in the trailer: “I know the suspense is killing you.” King of gothic fantasy and horror Tim Burton is the perfect director for the new series Wednesday, which will hit our small screens on November 23rd.
Fred Armisen is cast as Uncle Fester in "Addams Family" spin-off "Wednesday," with Christina Ricci also starring in the Tim Burton series.
The “Portlandia” creator cited his main inspiration as Coogan’s iteration of the character (“that’s the version I can hear”) while calling Llyod’s take “amazing.” It’s a great modern take on the character.” “And as an actor, you basically just do anything he tells you to because he’s so good and you just trust him so much. The role was originally brought to the big screen with Christopher Lloyd in 1991’s “The Addams Family” and 1993’s “Addams Family Values.” Jackie Coogan played Uncle Fester in the original sitcom series. [Jenna Ortega](https://www.indiewire.com/t/jenna-ortega/) as the titular teen Wednesday, along with her parents Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán in the [partially Tim Burton-directed show](https://www.indiewire.com/2022/08/wednesday-trailer-catherine-zeta-jones-jenna-ortega-netflix-1234752697/), streaming November 23. Fellow “Addams Family” alum [Christina Ricci](https://www.indiewire.com/t/christina-ricci/) also appears in the series as a teacher at Nevermore Academy, the school for gifted children where Wednesday taps into her psychic abilities.
Jenna Ortega, Luis Guzman and Gwendoline Christie talk to ET about Fred Armisen's new character and working with Catherine Zeta-Jones.
"I was a bit starstruck and I just wanted to do the best job possible, but she's so charismatic and so hilarious and she is such a proper movie star that you really do learn. "I do feel like this is Tim Burton's version of The Addams Family and I feel like his aesthetic is so rich and so established, it's the perfect marriage. "But what I love is that we are seeing it through the eyes of Wednesday Addams. It’s like a master class acting with Catherine and she is truly sensational as Morticia and brings a freshness to the role." Added Guzman, "She was wonderful as Morticia. I just saw a picture of him!" "He's a part of the family [and] is amazing," Guzman said. "I was a huge fan of her work, I have a lot of respect for her as an actor and to be able to watch something like that in real time, I really think it elevates your own personal performance and truly such a pleasure. "Incredibly exciting," Ortega said when asked what it was like have Zeta-Jones play her fictional mom. "I think people are really gonna love it."
