With the time nearing until its premiere, Tim Burton is keeping the actor portraying Uncle Fester in Netflix’s Wednesday series a secret. Premiering on November 23, it will follow Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams during her time at Nevermore Academy, where she attempts to control her psychic abilities and solve a mystery that involved her family 25 years ago. In addition to Ortega, the cast of Wednesday includes Luis Guzmán, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Isaac Ordonez, Riki Lindhome, Jamie McShane, Gwendoline Christie, and more.
Who Could Play Fester In Wednesday?
Given how Uncle Fester played an important role in both of The Addams Family live-action films, some feel as though it would be a good way to honor the actress’ work as Wednesday in those projects. The series could flip the script and have her character be the sister of Gomez or Morticia, which would allow Ricci to interact more with Ortega’s version of Wednesday on-screen.
The director has a working relationship with Ricci with 1999’s Sleepy Hollow movie, making it all the more possible it could be her, but if it is not, it will still be interesting to learn what kind of role she takes on. Those looking forward to seeing Uncle Fester and Burton’s depiction of the Addams family can be sure to check out Wednesday when it hits Netflix next month.
