Netflix Pegs Wednesday For November 23

[Peter Paltridge]

Netflix has revealed when we can expect Tim Burton’s eight-episode Wednesday series — November 23! Our first thought was, “that date better fall on a Wednesday.” We checked, and it does. So it has that going for it, but it’s strange Netflix would put this out around Thanksgiving instead of Halloween. Until now everyone assumed an October release.
Jenna Ortega, the latest actress to play the Addams daughter, commented to EW.com that the role was different because “We’ve never seen her as a teenager girl.” I would argue that it shouldn’t make THAT much of a difference — Rachel Hunter’s YouTube series Adult Wednesday Addams portrayed her as a grown-up, and there was virtually no difference in her sardonic, cold-as-a-gravestone personality.

While I enjoy the trailer overall, the scene where Wednesday releases friggin piranhas into a pool filled with chlorine is just silly. Fish would suffocate to death if that happened. One of two things is true: either the show's writers are idiots who don't bother to do their homework, or Wednesday is an idiot. Maybe I'm being too picky, but I imagine the show's writers felt it would be a fun scenario. However, shows with more realistic writing, even if set in an impossible environment, are more likely to be enjoyable.

Since it's directed by Tim Burton, I'm automatically interested in seeing it. The casting Jenna Ortega is the chef's kiss. Absolutely both, and now we have a release date! I will be sleepless from excitement.

LOL at Wednesday saying she is the only one who have the rights to torture her brother.

Cristina Ricci is the Wednesday that I grew up with but I am pretty much open to changes. November 23 is a Wednesday , What a smart release date they had chosen.
