Nevermore school pals... Moosa Mostafa as Eugene Otinger, Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams. (Image credit: Netflix) Wednesday on Netflix — director Tim Burton We recap the Netflix series Wednesday season 1, episode 8, “A Murder of Woes,” which contains spoilers and explains the ending. And we've never seen her on screen this much. Any other time you've seen Wednesday, she's been the one-liner, the end of a joke, she always hits it, and I think that's what people really love about her. But in this show, every scene is Wednesday. There's an opportunity to give her a bit more dimension, and she becomes a bit more of a real person, which I don't think we've ever seen before. Christina Ricci, who played Wednesday Addams in the film franchise, has been signed up to play Marylin Thornhill, while Uncle Fester is played by Fred Armisen.

I watched the movies when I was nine years old, but didn’t watch the 1960s TV show until later. I’ve been compared to Wednesday my entire life. I think it's because I tend to be very dry and monotone. But I was so nervous about playing her because I just wanted to do her justice. She’s also a Latina character and that’s never been represented, so I had an opportunity to give other girls that look like me some relatability."Wednesday’s brother is obsessed with violence but has a big heart and idolises his sister. How will he cope with his partner in crime at boarding school?

Luis says: "Once all the pieces came together – the incredible suit, the teeth, the wig, the moustache – it just came so naturally. It was like I went through my own personal rebirth as Gomez." The charismatic headteacher also happens to be Morticia’s old roommate at Nevermore. Why does she have her beady eye on Wednesday? Wildly passionate about his one true love, Morticia, he’ll stop at nothing to protect his family. But what is his connection to Nevermore’s murky past? Wednesday causing trouble at her new school Nevermore Academy! (Image credit: Netflix) Who's who — our guide to the main cast of Wednesday Luis reveals: It's definitely a pure kind of love. They have a language, which is passionate and full of admiration for each other. Gomez loves Morticia more than anything in this world."

Wednesday season 1, episode 8 ending explained

Catherine says: "Morticia is such an iconic female figure, but I put my own twist on her. I didn't want to play her as a Halloween-costumed caricature; I wanted to find the root of her, in that she’s a mother-of-two and extremely in love with her husband." Much-loved character Thing has a key part in this series so it must have been fun filming with a severed hand. Jenna says: "It was like working with any other actor, but when Victor Dorobantu, who plays Thing, wasn’t on set, we had a suitcase full of severed hands that would stand in. We’d be like, ‘Today, we want the flimsy one, or the stoic one.’ But, honestly, Thing is Wednesday’s best friend and she’d do anything for him. He’s the unsung hero of the show!
