Christina Ricci Is Returning To The Addams Family Universe In Netflix’s ‘Wednesday’
Not only is there going to be a new Addams Family universe show, Wednesday, on Netflix, but Christina Ricci is going to have a “major part.”
GAH!! I’m so stinkin’ excited!!
If you recall, Christina Ricci flawlessly played Wednesday Addams in the movie Addams Family Values. You can’t think of Wednesday Addams without picturing a younger Christina Ricci in that jet black wig.
The live-action Addams Family spinoff is going to be directed by Tim Burton. I mean, that’s reason enough to watch it right there!
But, it’s going to have the OG (movie) Wednesday Addams, Christina Ricci, as one of the characters.
Okay, I must see this show NOW.
The coming-of-age comedy, written by Smallville creators Al Gough and Miles Millar and directed by Burton, stars Ortega as Wednesday Addams during her years at Nevermore Academy. It’s described as a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery.
Deadline
Now, Ricci won’t be playing Wednesday Addams in this spinoff — but, never fear, she will be included in the cast. AND, she is being called a series regular!
Christina Ricci Is Going To Be A Regular On The Netflix Series, Wednesday.
Not much is known about Christina’s new role amongst The Addams Family universe. The creators are wanting to keep that a surprise for the show.
Ricci is playing a new character, who is similar to the one originally played by [Thora] Birch and will replace it on the show.

We do know that Wednesday is going to be an 8-episode series, and it is a Netflix Original.
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.
