Looking at the First advance of ‘Wednesday’ that Netflix has released, it seems that we are facing the Tim Burton plus the Tim Burton of the decade. After the appetizer of the first images of the entire Addams family that the platform released less than 24 hours before the premiere of this trailer, we already have Wednesday (‘Scream’) of Jenna Ortega in action, more gothic and macabre than ever.
The characters were created by Charles Addams in 1938 in cartoons for the New Yorker and in 1964 they went on television from ABC in the family series “The Addams Family”. Now, and after several adaptations to cinema and the small screen in real image and animation, Burton introduces us to his vision of the family, putting the teenager Wednesday at the center of the plot., who doesn’t like interacting with others, martyring them alone or experimenting with his brother trying to kill him. Of course, as the trailer makes clear, Pugsley is just being tortured by her.
The series, described by Netflix as “a thriller with paranormal elements” She takes us back to her high school years on Wednesday and her time at Never Again academy after being expelled from eight centers in five years, as the voice of Gwendoline Christie tells us. There he will try to harness his incipient psychic powers to solve a series of murders. and understand a mystery that has haunted her family since before her birth.
Mystery, chaos and murders
The teaser features a Wednesday that haunts the corridors of Nancy Reagan High School in her gothic look with her two black braids tied together before filling the pool with two bags of piranha during water polo practice: “I did the world a favor, people like Dalton shouldn’t procreate”, he says as the water is stained with blood. Her parents will then take her to the place where they met, the Never Again academy, in the hope that she will find classmates who understand her and maybe even make friends between fencing lessons, explosions and bloody dances. It is clear that Burton wants to make a darker and more mature version of the Addams of the latest installments aimed at children, and in the process recover the macabre style of films like ‘Sweeney Todd, the evil barber of Fleet Street’, “Sleepy Hollow” or “Bitelchus. “, which in recent years had changed for bets like” Dumbo “,” Big Eyes “or” Miss Peregrine’s home for peculiar children “.
Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Miller, The first season of “Miércoles” will have 8 episodes and will premiere on Netflix presumably throughout the year. The cast is completed by Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia, Luis Guzmán as Gomez, Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley and Christina Ricci in an undisclosed role of which there is no trace in the trailer.
