The Addams Family spinoff "Wednesday", that will soon be hitting Netflix, has found the parents of the eponymous protagonist of the show.
Veteran actors Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán will be filling the roles of the matriarch and patriarch of the classic macabre and oddball Addams Family.
Addams Family origins
The Addams Family is the brainchild of Charles Addams, created in 1938. It started off as a regular feature in The New Yorker, which is a long-running American weekly magazine. Cartoonist Charles Addams usually presented them as one-panel gags in the magazine.
Often, it would be via a satirical look at modern Americana (of the time), with the odd, almost horror-like interests of the Addams Family as a metaphor for such.
The members of the Addams Family were Gomez and Morticia, their children Wednesday and Pugsley, Gomez's brother Uncle Fester, Grandmama (originally named Granny Frump), and the family's attendants, the towering Lurch and the sentient hand, Thing. The family is independently wealthy, living in an age-old mansion that looks like a haunted house.
