Who Play the Addams Family in "Wednesday"?
Ortega is starring as Wednesday. Catherine Zeta-Jones plays her mother, Morticia Addams, and Luis Guzmán is her father, Gomez. And don't worry — other members of the Addams gang will be around, too. Fred Armisen is Uncle Fester, Isaac Ordonez is Pugsley Addams, George Burcea is Lurch, and Victor Dorobantu is Thing.
Who Is Gwendoline Christie's Character, Larissa Weems?
Gwendoline Christie will play an original character named Larissa Weems, the principal of Wednesday's school and Morticia's teenage Nevermore classmate. At NYCC, where POPSUGAR was on hand, Christie revealed her character was roommates with Morticia when they attended Nevermore together, and she always resented being in Morticia's shadow, so Wednesday's arrival at Nevermore presents a "discombobulating" dynamic between the former rivals.
Who Is Christina Ricci's "Wednesday" Character, Miss Thornhill?
Ricci iconically played Wednesday in the 1990s Addams Family movies, and she will appear in the new Netflix series as an original character named Miss Thornhill. Not much is known about Ricci's new character. She appears at the end of the "Wednesday" full-length trailer to greet our protagonist when she's moving into her Nevermore dorm, which suggests she's a staff member at the academy.
The rest of the cast includes Riki Lindhome, Thora Birch, and Moosa Mostafa.
