What we know about the new Netflix series "Wednesday"
The project will focus on the eldest and only daughter of the eccentric Addams family. In this review, details of the new TV show.
Wansday Addams looks a little different these days. A teaser of the Tim Burton-directed Netflix family series, "Wansday," published the other day shows 19-year-old Jenna Ortega in the famous role. The only daughter of the iconic family appears on screen as a stern and cold-blooded teenager. However, her famous outfit, a black dress with a white collar, has undergone changes - white "snowflakes" appeared on the fabric, and the corners of the collar were significantly stretched. Which creates more of a pop-punk style than the usual eccentric Addams of Gothic. Wansday's dark makeup and scythe-hanging braids have a modern flavor, and an ominous severed hand rests on her shoulder during the teaser.
What "Wednesday" is all about?
The plot will follow the daughter of Gomez and Morticia Addams, who enrolls in the Nevermore Academy. It is during this time that Wansday will become acquainted with her psychic abilities and learn how to control them. She will also encounter a serial killer holding the local town in fear and try to unravel the tangle of supernatural events in which her parents were involved 25 years ago.
Who acted in "Wednesday" TV series?
The roles of Morticia and Gomez Addams were played by Catherine-Zeta Jones and Louis Guzmán, respectively. Joining them and Ortega on the set are Gwendolyn Christie, Hunter Duane, Thora Birch, Percy Hines White, Joy Sanday, Emma Myers, Ricky Lindhome, Jamie McShane and George Farmer. Christina Ricci, who played Wensday Addams in Barry Sonnenfeld's The Addams Family (1991), will also appear in the new TV show.
The creators of the series "Smallville Mystery" (2001-2011) Alfred Gough and Miles Millar wrote the script of the eight-episode project, and the director's chair, as already mentioned, was taken by Tim Burton. His name speaks a lot to fans of fantasy horror, the director's career is packed with great works shot in this genre. So Netflix producers took Burton's agreement to collaborate on their new TV show as a guarantee of its future popularity.
In April, Ricci, 42, praised Ortega for his performance as Wansday. "Two weeks ago I finished filming, and it was wonderful. Tim Burton did a great job, and Jenna is magical. I think audiences will fall in love with her Wednesday right away," Christina acknowledged. She also noted Gwendolyn Christie's "incredible" acting, adding that "all the kids in the project are fantastic, so I think we're in for a big success."
