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.

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!

Ricci is playing a new character, who is similar to the one originally played by [Thora] Birch and will replace it on the show.
