The eldest daughter of pop culture’s spookiest family will be the subject of a Netflix original movie titled Wednesday, which will debut during Thanksgiving weekend.
The new version of The Addams Family focuses on Wednesday Addams, who finds herself in the middle of a murder mystery investigation after being sent away to boarding school at the mysterious Nevermore Academy.
The new version of The Addams Family is directed and executive produced by Tim Burton, the beloved director who specializes in creepy but entertaining reimaginings of classic characters. The title role in the horror comedy will be played by Jenna Ortega (You).
It is true to the comics that Wednesday has never been depicted by a Latina actress before. The series is described as a detective-driven, supernaturally infused mystery that follows Wednesday Addams’ time as a student at Nevermore Academy.
