Christina Ricci will reconnect with the universe of “The Addams Family”, since she has just obtained a role in the series of Tim Burton expected on Netflix entitled “Wednesday”, reveals the American site Deadline.
But beware. Those nostalgic for Barry Sonnenfeld’s films – The Addams Family (1991) and Addams Family Values (1993) – in which the actress played the role of the daughter of the family, Wednesday Addams, are warned: Christina Ricci will not play not the character as an adult. His role in the series is kept in the greatest secrecy for the moment, but this one will have a major place in the series, specifies Deadline.
This role was reportedly offered to Christina Ricci after Thora Birch’s decision to leave the cast for personal reasons. The character embodied by the 42-year-old actress will be very similar to that which her predecessor was to play, specifies the American site. It would be weeks since Christina Ricci participated in the filming of Wednesday, which is currently taking place in Romania. And which should end at the end of March.
It is Jenna Ortega (Scream) who will hold the main role of the series. In addition to Christina Ricci, she will star Catherine Zeta-Jones, who will play the character of Morticia Addams, and Luiz Guzman, who will play her husband, Gomez Addams. Season 1 of Wednesday, which will have 8 episodes, is expected on Netflix by the end of 2022.
