Curious to learn more about Ortega and the other cast members of the new show?
We’ve got you covered.
Ortega’s performance will probably be a little different, but it already has Ricci’s stamp of approval.
Even though she had been planning on focusing on film, Burton quickly changed her mind.
If that’s not fate, we don’t know what is.
Luis Guzman as Gomez Addams
As Wednesday’s father, Gomez Addams, is Luiz Guzman.
Guzman probably looks familiar to many TV fans already.
“The definition of Gomez [is] he’s a lover,” said Guzman toDaily Dead.
“He’s a passionate man, loves his wife, loves his family.”
After all, she’s also an icon of the screen Catherine Zeta-Jones.
So far, the 12-year-old actor is still fairly new to Hollywood.
In 2018, he was the double for Derick McCabe, who played the young Charles Wallace.
He then appeared in several short films and a music video by Chromeo.
Pugsley marks his first major role in a large-scale production.
The young boy appears carefree, happy, and normally dressed in the comics.
Either way, we can’t wait to see what he does with the character.
Larissa Weems, the headmistress of Wednesday’s new school, Nevermore Academy, is played by Gwendoline Christie.
As she toldThe Guardianin 2019, “That character has changed my life.
I feel emotional.”
Instead, she’ll be playing a character called Marilyn Thornhill.
For Ricci, starring in “Wednesday” meant reuniting with Burton.
“It was so great.
It was amazing,” she gushed toSlant Magazine.
“Tim is such an incredible director and so creative and visionary and smart.
We can’t wait to see what Ricci brings to this new version of “The Addams Family.”
One thing’s for sure her performance is sure to be pretty different!
Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester
The final member of the infamous Addams family is Uncle Fester.
Since his days on “SNL,” Armisen has become a familiar face in film and TV.
By the sounds of things, Armisen has fit right into the cast.
“He’s a delightful little freak,” said Jenna Ortega toET Online.
Added Gwendoline Christie with a laugh, “A living nightmare.”
She started with a small uncredited role in the 2010 film “Letters to God.”
She will also appear in the upcoming film “Southern Gospel,” alongside Max Ehrich.
According toIMDb, Sunday was born and raised in New York.
She got her start in 2018 with a role on the Lucas Till show “MacGyver.”
According to her CV onActor’s Access, Sunday has also done some stage and voiceover work.
On stage, she appeared at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in a play called “Intelligence.”
it’s possible for you to even catch her in an Xfinity commercial.
One thing’s for sure we’ll probably be seeing a lot more of Sunday after “Wednesday.”
While we don’t know much about the character, we know that McShane is no stranger to television.
With almost 150 credits to his name, you’ve likely come across him before.
You may also remember him from movies like “Argo” and “Gone Girl.”
Instead, he worked for his father’s company in New Jersey.
“I also taught tennis and strung rackets.
It took me about 12 years of acting before I made a living at it.”
Well, it’s clear that his perseverance really paid off.
That’s because she has appeared in almost 100 projects since beginning her career two decades ago.
You may also know her as one-half of YouTube-famous musical comedy duo Garfunkel and Oates.
Sounds like “Wednesday” will be right up her alley.
“I couldn’t narrow it down to one piece of advice.”
Hynes White even acted alongside his father in the film “Cast No Shadow” in 2014.
Talk about a talented family!
Based on his artisticInstagramfeed, White is interested in photography.
Hunter Doohan plays Tyler Galpin, “a townie who strikes up an unlikely friendship with Wednesday Addams.”
He’s also produced some short films with his friends and done some writing.
As Doohan toldDaMan, he grew up in Fort Smith, Arkansas.
When asked about his goals, he said, “I have absolutely no idea.
It’s safe to say that a project like “Wednesday” definitely fits the bill.
More recently, you may have spotted her in “The Walking Dead” or “Overleaped.”
As Birch later told Entertainment Tonight, she had decided to leave over artistic differences.
