TV Review: Wednesday
The latest revival of The Addams Family centers on the eldest child, Wednesday Addams.
On November 23, 2022, Netflix released the new streaming series Wednesday, starring Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams. The series is co-created by Alfred Gough and Miles Milar, while the art style and primary director is the world-renowned Tim Burton. The series follows a teenage Wednesday as she attends the functional boarding school for outcasts, Nevermore.
Jenna Ortega leads the latest version of the Addams Family. Cathrine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán play Morticia and Gomez Addams. Isaac Ordonez as her brother Pugsley. And fans of the family's favorite hand, Thing, will be glad to know that Thing is Wednesday's number two.
For more on how Thing is brought to life, check out my article describing the special effects dating back to the 1960s series.
Before we dive in, this review will contain minimal to no spoilers. Nothing more than what can be seen in promotional material, trailers, and TikTok.
