Next summer, the wildly popular Netflix series will turn Wednesday (2022– ) Back with a brand new season. As if it is an ordinary civilian family, the Addams family shows their most stately side on a new family portrait. This new family snapshot offers fans a first look at the extensive Addams family and the opportunity to get acquainted with some intriguing new cast members.
Mysterious character
In the portrait of course Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) steals the show with her characteristic elegance, flanked by daughter Wednesday (Jenna Ortega), husband Gomez (Luis Guzmán) and grandmother Hester Frump (Joanna Lumley). We also see Lurch (Jonas Suotamo), Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen) and the young Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez). Between Lurch and Fester there is an unknown character that raises quite a few questions. Could this be a heavily disguised version of new cast member Billie Piper? That seems likely, although it was previously announced that Piper plays the role of Isadora Capri, the new head of the music department in Nevermore Academy. What does she do on the Addamen family portrait?
