Tim Burton is back with “Wednesday,” which is coming to Netflix on November 23, 2022. The live action Addams Family series will feature the return of Fester, Netflix announced tonight at New York Comic Con, revealing that Fred Armisen is playing the iconic character!

Uncle Fester was first played by Jackie Coogan in the original live action “Addams Family” series, with Christopher Lloyd taking over the role in the 1990s live action movies.

Nick Kroll more recently voiced Fester in the animated movies.

Head over to Vanity Fair for the full reveal and to learn more. And also watch the brand new trailer from Netflix below, which reveals our first look footage of the show’s Uncle Fester.

Christina Ricci will also appear in the show, playing a brand new role. The first footage of Ricci’s return to the world of the Addams Family is also featured in this new trailer!

Jenna Ortega stars in the new series as Wednesday Addams, with Luis Guzmán playing Gomez and Catherine Zeta-Jones playing Morticia in Tim Burton’s Netflix series.

“Wednesday” is described as “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.” It’s said to follow…

“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 writing and showrunning. Burton is directing.

Wednesday Addams has most recently been played by Chloë Grace Moretz in 2019’s animated movie, and earlier in live-action by Lisa Loring on TV and Christina Ricci in the films.

Looking for New Episodes of “Chucky” on Peacock? Here’s What Changed

We’ve been getting a lot of questions about this week’s episode of “Chucky” Season 3, which aired on USA and SYFY last night and was expected to be available on Peacock today. After all, we had previously been told that all new episodes of “Chucky” would be available for streaming the day after they aired, an exciting change from previous seasons of the hit horror series.

And while last week’s mid-season premiere of “Chucky” indeed did arrive on Peacock last Thursday, this week’s episode – titled “Panic Room” – is currently missing from the service.

So what’s going on here? The official @PeacockTVCare customer service account over on Twitter has been responding to fans who are wondering why they can’t stream this week’s episode of “Chucky” on Peacock, and their answer indicates a shift from the original plan.

They write, “New episodes of ‘Chucky’ Season 3 will be available on Peacock 7 days after they air on Syfy.”

That means that “Panic Room” won’t be available for streaming on Peacock until Wednesday, April 24, the same day the second-to-last episode of Season 3 arrives on USA and SYFY.

This a huge bummer for all the cord cutters out there, and anyone who’s unable to watch new episodes of “Chucky” as they air live on USA and/or SYFY. The show’s Peacock strategy has been wildly all over the place from the beginning, but it’s especially strange to have been promised next-day streaming only for the plan to suddenly change without any warning.

Just two more episodes remain in the back half of “Chucky” Season 3, which was split in half as a result of last year’s WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. The final two episodes, “There Will Be Blood” and “Final Destination,” will be airing on April 24 and May 1, which means you can expect “There Will Be Blood” on Peacock May 1 and “Final Destination” on Peacock May 8.

A shame, considering these final three episodes are BONKERS in the best of ways.
