30 years since Christina Ricci played Wednesday Addams in a pair of early 90s 'Addams Family' films, the actress will be back as a new character in Tim Burton's upcoming Netflix series, 'Wednesday'.

The Young Adult series will follow Wednesday's coming of age as a student at Nevermore Academy and is described as a “sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery.” Jenna Ortega ('You,' 'Scream 5') will play the title character while Catherine Zeta-Jones & Luis Guzman will play Morticia and Gomez Addams.
