The creative part of the new Addams Family Wednesday on Netflix series will be directed by Tim Burton, focusing its plot on Merlina and her early years as a student at Nevermore Academy. This focus can be seen in Wednesday’s first images revealed.

Merlina plays the eldest daughter of Morticia and Gomez. The series must learn to control her nascent powers and psychic powers, in addition to trying to find the truth about a murder spree involving her parents. This character will be played by an American actress of Puerto Rican and Mexican descent, Jenna Ortega. 

She has extensive experience in horror and dark productions. She was part of the first X and Scream cast in 2022. In this regard, Vanity Fair magazine tells us that Merlina’s relationship will be key in the series, especially with her mother Morticia and her brother Pericles.

Addams Family Wednesday on Netflix first images revealed that actress Catherine Zeta-Jones will play Morticia. Known in Hollywood for works such as Red 2, No Reservations, and The Mask of Zorro. This beautiful and elegant wife of Gómez brings us a tragi-comic plot, next to her children Merlina and Pericles, where we may find very intense demonstrations of affection as in other adaptations.

Father Addams (Gómez) is Luis Gúzman, an actor of Puerto Rican origin who is well known for the extensive trajectory in different series such as Netflix’s “Narcos”. He will be presented to us with an unusual appearance for fans. But will retain the elegance and poise that characterize him.

The publication of the magazine mentioned above gives us a hint of what that relationship will be like, with Merlina joking about how she used a stretcher on her brother, not achieving the effect she hoped for, a noticeable growth in the boy.

That’s why we hope Addams family fans will receive it well. No doubt Addams Family Wednesday on Netflix first images have pleased fans, and the series promises to be a product up to standards.
