I will be tuning in to check it out. As a kid I watched reruns of the Addams Family and I remember wanting to be Wednesday. No shock I ended up with black clothes dominating my wardrobe for life.

Tim Burton didn’t write, direct, or produce the 90’s Addams family movies. Netflix

I swear if she’s not older Wednesday or Morticia.....

Hire Katie McGrath as Morticia Adams

Expected Tim Burton's next project to be this

Sounds truly awful
