Last year Netflix announced that Jenna Ortega would be playing the lead role of Wednesday Addams in its new series “Wednesday,” helmed by Tim Burton. Since then, not much has been unveiled about the series, but as its first reveal of Geeked Week, its virtual event celebrating all things genre entertainment at Netflix, Netflix gave us our first look at Ortega in her role as Wednesday in a quick tease of the series.
The new coming of age comedy series is a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy. Wednesday’s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships at Nevermore.
Unfortunately, we still don’t have a set release date for the series, but the new teaser reassures us that we’ll be seeing “Wednesday” premiere sometime this fall.
