Wednesday, a coming-of-age supernatural horror comedic TV series, will premiere on Netflix on November 23, 2022. It is based on Charles Addams’ cartoon The Addams Family’s fictitious character Wednesday Addams. The titular character is played by Jenna Ortega, who has previously been in Jane the Virgin, Stuck in the Middle, You, and The Fallout. Meanwhile, Catherine Zeta-Jones will play her mother, Morticia Addams. The series represents Zeta-Jones’ first collaboration with the streaming service. She was last seen as Claremont Psychiatric Hospital’s resident medical doctor, Vivian Capshaw, in season two of Prodigal Son (2019-2021).
Morticia is a well-known female character: Zeta-Jones on her Wednesday character
In a recent interview with the TV Times, the performer praised Morticia as “an iconic female figure,” but stressed that she wanted to put her own spin on the role. She expressed a desire not to portray Morticia as a “Halloween-costumed caricature.” Zeta-Jones said that she wanted to get to the heart of the character since Morticia had two children and was madly in love with her husband. According to the actress:
“We didn’t want to modernize Morticia by putting her in pants; we wanted to do the original appearance.”
She continued, saying:
“So when I initially put on the outfit, hair, and make-up, I was so into it that I could have passed for Morticia at a gas station!”
The sitcom has enormous shoes to fill since the Addams Family series is a cult favorite. In response to the concerns, Zeta-Jones said that the series will be popular because it took the narrative into the twenty-first century and “the family is dealing with all of these challenges that are important today.”
