New Wednesday Trailer Reveals Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester, Christina Ricci
Wednesday has dropped a new trailer for the upcoming dark and irreverent Netflix series. It features the reveal of Uncle Fester, who will be portrayed by Fred Armisen, and teases Christina Ricci's role within the series.
Wednesday is Tim Burton's take on The Addams Family. Set to premiere November 23 on Netflix, the series will explore Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) as she is sent off to Nevermore Academy, a place where misfits and oddballs gather to learn and congregate with their own kind. The series seeks to explore Wednesday as she's rarely been explored: as a teenage girl among her peers. With Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia and Luis Guzman as Gomez, the series will feature a fresh, updated take on the creepy, kooky family.

The trailer, posted on Netflix's Twitter account, reveals the clearest look at Wednesday yet. The trailer particularly shows off Jenna Ortega's version of Wednesday. «I act as if I don't care if people dislike me,» Ortega's Wednesday intones in a voiceover. «Deep down… I actually enjoy it.» The character is just as dark and cantankerous as previous renditions of the character. She does smile once, however: when Uncle Fester is revealed. As played by Fred Armisen, Fester looks just as he always does: pale, with dark circles under his eyes, with a mischief about his character that makes him adored by the other members of the Addams family. This version also appears to have a slightly different take on the character's ability to make light bulbs light up in his mouth: he seems to have full-on electric abilities.
