Christina Ricci will return to the Addams Family universe in Tim Burton’s upcoming series on Wednesday.
When you’re an Addams, you’re part of the “creepy” and “weird” families for life.
At least that’s the case with Christina Ricci, who will return to the creepy Addams Family universe in an upcoming Netflix series on Wednesday, according to Variety.
The 42-year-old actress will play the mystery role in the Tim Burton project almost 30 years after she last appeared as Wednesday Addams.

The publication reported that the Speed Racer actress will not be playing the older version of the character she played as a child, although the exact nature of the role has not been revealed at this time.
Wednesday will follow the eponymous character during her high school years at Nevermore Academy.
While at school, the fearless young woman will learn to control her psychic abilities, protect the townspeople, and look into her family’s past as she navigates the new relationships that a burgeoning adulthood brings.

You’re the Glory’s Jenna Ortega will play the title character, Oscar winner Catherine Zeta-Jones will play her mother Morticia, and Boogie Nights actor Luis Guzmán will play her father Gomez.
Ricci played Wednesday in two 1990s films, The Addams Family (1991) and Addams Family Values (1993), when she was 11 and 13 years old respectively.
These films starred Anjelica Huston as Morticia Addams, Raoul Julia as Gomez, and Christopher Lloyd as lovable Uncle Fester.

More on the way: Ricci has several more projects in the pipeline, including films Dresden Sunshine and Unplugged (pictured 2021)
Ricci has appeared in a number of other films and TV shows since leaving The Addams Family, including Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow, Ally McBeal and the recently released The Matrix Resurrections.
The Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas actress has several other projects, including Dresden Sun, which is currently in post-production. The sci-fi movie will be about a botched heist in which Ricci plays a character named Dr. Dresden Corliss.
She’s also in the process of filming a voice-over for Unplugged, about a suicidal rock star who abandons her lifestyle for the much quieter badlands of South Dakota.
