Netflix shares spooky first-look at Wednesday with new teaser trailer
The Tim Burton series stars Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams.
Netflix has given fans a sneak peek at Wednesday – the streamer's upcoming comedy horror based on The Addams Family – with the show's very first teaser.
Directed by Tim Burton, the series is set to follow teenage Wednesday as she navigates high school whilst trying to master her psychic powers and stop a monstrous killing spree of the town citizens.
Ahead of Netflix's virtual event Geeked Week, the streamer released a 30-second teaser, showing Scream star Jenny Ortega in character as the death-obsessed teen, donning her signature braids, black dress and the permanent deadpan expression she's become best known for.
You's Ortega stars in the titular role, while Catherine Zeta-Jones will play Morticia Addams and Luis Guzmán will guest star as Gomez Addams.
The rest of the cast includes Riki Lindhome, Thora Birch, Jamie McShane, Percy Hynes White and Gwendoline Christie, while Christina Ricci – who played Wednesday Addams in 1991's The Addams Family and its sequel – is also expected to make an appearance.
