Thank you, Thing!
Netflix has finally debuted a teaser for Tim Burton's Wednesday, and while it doesn't actually feature any footage from the Sleepy Hollow director's The Addams Family spinoff show, it does give us an amusing look at the creepy, kooky family's "pet" hand Thing as he signs-out the trailer's premiere date.
Expect a proper look at Wednesday during Netflix's Geeked Week on June 6!
We recently learned that Christina Ricci, who played Wednesday Addams in the '90s Addams Family movie and its sequel Addams Family Values, has been cast in an undisclosed role. She joins Game of Thrones alum Gwendoline Christie as Larissa Weems, the principal of Wednesday's school, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia, Luis Guzmán as Gomez, and Scream star Jenna Ortega in the title role of Wednesday.
The coming-of-age comedy series, which has Al Gough and Miles Millar (Smallville, Into the Badlands) on board as showrunners, is said to be "a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy. Wednesday’s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships at Nevermore."
Burton will make his TV directing debut with the show, and will also executive produce alongside Jonathan Glickman, Andrew Mittman, Kayla Alpert, Gail Berman, Steve Stark, and Kevin Miserocchi. Production is currently underway, but no premiere date has been announced.
