Netflix’s Wednesday confirms Fred Armisen will play Uncle Fester in The Addams Family series
For some reason the creators behind Netflix's Wednesday TV series, a new reimagining of The Addams Family, have been very secretive about who is playing Uncle Fester in the upcoming show. With the official trailer for the series having just been revealed at New York Comic Con however the cat is officially out of the bag with Netflix confirming that Portlandia star Fred Armisen will be playing the part in the new series.
With the confirmation of Armisen's role we know have a full idea of the Addams Family Tree in the new series, including: Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams, and naturally, Jenna Ortega as Wednesday and Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester. Two other key role will also appear with Victor Dorobantu credited as"Thing," the anthropomorphic hand from the series, and George Burcea playing the family butler, Lurch.
"We've never seen her as a teenager girl," Ortega said previously about the new version of the character."You know, it's funny and sweet and almost charming to hear this eight-year-old's obsession with murder and blood and guts.
Netflix describes Wednesday as"a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams' years as a student at Nevermore Academy, where she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the murder mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships at Nevermore.
Ortega leads a cast that includes Gwendoline Christie as Nevermore Academy Principal Larissa Weems, Jamie McShane as Sheriff Galpin, Percy Hynes White as Xavier Thorpe, Hunter Doohan as Tyler Galpin, Riki Lindhome as Dr. Valerie Kinbott, and Christina Ricci as Marilyn Thornhill. Also featured are Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair, Joy Sunday as Bianca Barclay, Naomi J Ogawa as Yoko Tanaka, Moosa Mostafa as Eugene Ottinger, and Georgie Farmer as Ajax Petropolus.
