SERIES PREMIERE
She’s creepy and she’s kooky, and more than a little droll, as we encounter Wednesday Addams of the notoriously macabre family at the center of her own series. (What, you thought they’d wait until Thursday to launch it?) With a helping hand from the disembodied Thing, snark princess Wednesday (
Scream’s Jenny Ortega) deadpans her way into Nevermore Academy, the alma mater of her parents Gomez (Luis Guzmán) and Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones). Amid a student body of ghouls and freaks, Wednesday gets her Nancy Drew on to solve a rash of grisly slayings while probing a mystery involving her parents and the school’s weird headmistress (
Game of Thrones’ Gwendoline Christie). Visionary Tim Burton is director and producer, so you know this will also be fun to look at.
