Netflix is sharing a scary glimpse at its Wednesday series with spooky new photos. The streamer unveiled the first images of The Addams Family spinoff show, which were revealed in all their black-and-white glory on the Vanity Fair website today.
In one photo posted to Vanity Fair‘s Instagram account, the main cast poses in costume with series star Jenna Ortega (Wednesday) front and center. She’s surrounded by Catherine Zeta-Jones (Morticia), Luis Guzmán (Gomez) and Isaac Ordonez (Pugsley).
Other photos shared with Vanity Fair include stills of Wednesday and Pugsley up to no good at school, Guzmán showing his devotion to Morticia and a sullen Wednesday posing between her cheerful parents.
Wednesday comes from executive producer and director Tim Burton, who worked with creators Miles Millar and Alfred Gough on the comedy.
Gough told Vanity Fair that he and Miller saw Burton as “the Mount Everest of directors,” but were pleasantly surprised when he said yes to their project within three days of seeing the pilot script.
“He was interested in where it was going, the mystery of the show,” Gough said. “He had a lot of questions about the previous television work we’d done, like how we were able to achieve it. He really loved that you had time to be with Wednesday and explore the character and you didn’t have to, you know, wrap things up in an hour and 45 minutes.”
Today’s photos only showed a fraction of what’s to come in Wednesday, which also stars Gwendoline Christie, Hunter Doohan, Percy Hynes White, Joy Sunday, Emma Myers, Riki Lindhome, Jamie McShane, Georgie Farmer, Naomi Ogawa, Moosa Mostafa and Christina Ricci, who played Wednesday Addams in The Addams Family.
Wednesday catapults its titular character into her teen years as a student at Nevermore Academy.
“Wednesday attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships at Nevermore,” the series synopsis reads.
Wednesday premieres on Netflix this fall.
