Michael Gross Confirms That He Sadly Won’t Be in the “Tremors” TV Series

You’re breaking our heart, Syfy.

The one main staple of the five-film Tremors franchise over the years has been Graboid hunter Burt Gummer, played by Michael Gross across all the films as well as the original spinoff television series. He’s still the lead of the film franchise, with a sixth on the way next year, but will he be part of Syfy’s small screen reboot?

Unfortunately, it looks like Gross won’t be starring alongside the returning Kevin Bacon for the forthcoming series. Gross took to Facebook last night to break the news.

For Tremors fans who have been asking, ‘Will Kevin Bacon return to do the films?’ or ‘Is your Burt Gummer character going to be in Kevin’s series?’ I think we can say with a good deal of certainty that the answer to both questions is NO,” Gross wrote. “The series is currently shooting in and around Albuquerque, New Mexico, and I have no other details.”

If Burt Gummer appears, [he] will be played by another [actor],” Gross added.

Last week we learned that Steve Buscemi had joined the cast of “Wednesday” Season 2 at Netflix, and Variety lets us know that Thandiwe Newton (“Westworld”) has also signed on.

Jenna Ortega is back as Wednesday Addams in the upcoming second season of Netflix’s “Wednesday,” with Steve Buscemi playing the new principal of Nevermore Academy.

Jenna Ortega stars in the hit series as Wednesday Addams, with Luis Guzmán playing Gomez and Catherine Zeta-Jones playing Morticia in Tim Burton’s Netflix series. Christina Ricci also appears in the show, playing a brand new role, with Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.

“Wednesday” is described as “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.” The series follows…

“Wednesday’s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships.”

Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) are the writers and showrunners, with Tim Burton executive producing and directing several episodes of the show’s debut season.

We don’t know much about “Wednesday” Season 2 at the moment but Jenna Ortega has promised that the new season will be “bolder” and darker than the first season of the series.

“We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror more,” Ortega said last year.
