The company has high hopes for the series. In typical Addams Family style, Jenna Ortega . performs in the spotlight as everyone’s favorite ghoulish teenage goth, Wednesday Addams. Tim Burton heads the goth girl spin-off series. Looking at the first images, we see sleek braids down to the winged rose details on her dress. Everything seems tailor-made to introduce a fantastic new series of murder mysteries.
We don’t know much about the series yet. It looks like Wednesday Addams will be taking on the teen role with a deliciously dry twist. The show will be a coming of age comedy. Wednesday will also have psychic powers to contend with, in addition to the other haunted happenings in her haunted home away from home, Nevermore Academy. Eight episodes will be made.
