Though the original series began airing a year before I was even born, I can truly say that I grew up watching the original black and white series “The Addams Family” based on it being in syndication and broadcast during hours that I was allowed to watch television. So with such a tenured exposure to these zany characters, I just love seeing them expanded upon. With all of us “knowing” Wednesday as a little girl, it will be interesting to see how this story progresses into the future. Netflix has released the first teaser from their upcoming original series “Wednesday”. Take a look at the trailer and learn some more about the series.
The Premise:
The series will be a coming-of-age supernatural mystery comedy focusing on Wednesday Addams and her years as a high school student at Nevermore Academy, where she attempts to master her psychic powers, stop a monstrous killing spree of the town citizens, and solve the supernatural mystery that affected her family 25 years ago—all while navigating her new relationships.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: This looks like it might be fun and I just love some of the casting we get to see. I admit I never expected Luis Guzman as Gomez or Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia but that works for me as I am a fan of both actors. I guess there will be a lot of tonque in cheek macabre humor in this one and I’m game since I already subscribe to Netflix anyway. This wasn’t a bad teaser and while I don’t usually chime in too deeply on those I was compelled to speak a little more. That’s it for now of course so I will see you next time and don’t worry I shall be keeping tabs on this since its the kind of Pop Culture content I like us to feature. See you next time, please stay safe out there.
