The Jenna Ortega-starring “Wednesday” has proven to be a massive hit for Netflix, and it looks like the streaming service is planning their very own Addams Family Universe.
In addition to the upcoming “Wednesday” Season 2, which is said to “lean into the horror more,” Bloomberg reports that an Uncle Fester spinoff series is being considered.
Bloomberg reports, “… the company has also started talking about another Addams Family program, one built around Uncle Fester, played on the series by Fred Armisen. As with any TV show in development, there is no guarantee the Uncle Fester show will ever happen.”
“The writers have to figure out the story, the company needs to negotiate contracts with talent, and the schedules of the individuals must align,” the report continues. “But Netflix is eager to establish a pipeline of Addams Family programs to build off the success of Wednesday.”
Uncle Fester has long been a beloved figure in the world of “The Addams Family,” so it makes sense that Netflix is considering a series centered entirely on the oddball character.
Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
Jenna Ortega stars in the new series as Wednesday Addams, with Luis Guzmán playing Gomez and Catherine Zeta-Jones playing Morticia in Tim Burton’s Netflix series.
Christina Ricci, the Wednesday Addams of the 1990s, also appears in the series.
“Wednesday” is described as “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.” The series follows…
“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.”
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) are the writers and showrunners.
