Netflix kicked-off this year's Geeked Week yesterday with a teaser promo (via Fear HQ) for Tim Burton's upcoming The Addams Family spinoff series, Wednesday, giving us a first look at Jenna Ortega in the title role.
The brief video introduces the eldest child of the creepy, kooky family as she steps towards the camera with Thing perched on her shoulder. Of course, they get a couple of finger clicks in there for good measure!
Ortega was a major highlight of Scream, so we're looking forward to seeing her take on this iconic character.
Check out the promo below, and let us know what you think.
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, and Luis Guzmán as Gomez.
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.
