Secrets, surprises and sparkling black eyeliner - that’s one way to describe Netflix’s new Addams family spin-off.

Tim Burton’s Addams Family series ‘Wednesday’ will premiere on streaming services this month. The coming-of-age show arrives almost sixty years after Wednesday first appeared on our small screens.

Film-lovers’ favourite goth girl is back with her very own show. Jenna Ortega will play the unhinged and bohemian Wednesday Addams, with Fred Armisten, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and more all starring in supporting roles.

The eight-part comedy-drama series steps away from the Addams Family’s Macabre mansion and will focus on Wednesday’s time at Nevermore Academy. The role is being updated for 2022 with a long lineage of actors having played the deranged emo girl, including Chloe-Grace Moretz, Lisa Loring, and Christina Ricci - who is also starring in the new series.

With veteran filmmaker Tim Burton at the helm, the series is bound to be injected with a healthy serving of gothic fantasy. Showrunner Al Gough spoke to Vanity Fair about casting the director.
