Jenna Ortega’s portrayal of Wednesday in the upcoming Addams Family spinoff gets a first tease by Netflix on Twitter.

Netflix has just teased the star of its new show Wednesday. The upcoming show is a spinoff of the Addams Family franchise that follows Wednesday, who will be played by Jenna Ortega. Christina Ricci, who played Wednesday in the 90s The Addams Family movie, is also set to make an appearance in the show, which will please fans who were captured by her portrayal of Wednesday from 30 years ago.

Tim Burton is set to direct the eight-episode series, which will cover Wednesday’s time at Nevermore academy as she attempts to grapple with her burgeoning psychic powers while solving a mystery that plagued her parents some 25 years ago.
