Deadline confirmed the report.

They have been franchise hungry for some time.

 

[ComicChick]

are audiences clamoring for a Fester series though?

if anything, i want a prequel of Morticia, Gomez and Gwendolyn's character ( i can't remember the name!) and their time at school

....idk. i feel like the strength of The Addams Family is the family.

It's like spinning off each of the Brady Bunch kids

 

[Gee]

Each member will get their solo series before the inevitable team-up in The Addams Family.

I think it could be fun when done right...but im not sure if its 8 or so episodes fun.
A prequel about Morticia and Gomez could be interesting...but in general i would rather see a Addams Family spin off in general instead of spreading this out to every family member or so.

im kinda curious what happened with Puggsly and his bullies once Wednesday left

That's great news. I always appreciate when these streaming platforms go the extra distance to put their shows on physical media. I get that they want to draw folks to the platform, but you just can't beat physical media.

No season 2 release in 2024 — mainly due to the actors' and writers' strikes.

‘Stranger Things’, ‘Ginny & Georgia’, ‘Wednesday’ & ‘Virgin River’ Among Hit Netflix Series Not Returning Until 2025

Netflix has unveiled its 2024 TV slate, and some of the streamer's biggest series are not on the list, delayed by the writers and actors strikes.

Begins in late April according to one report. But Deadline suggests it would have started sooner if not for the twin strikes. Which, in turn, might have meant a 2024 release...?

And they've tried:

Centered around Wednesday in today's time reminds me of that web series "Adult Wednesday Addams," which I really liked.

But as has been said and always will be said, this is right up Burton's alley. Looking forward to another live-action series, as I really liked the original 60s show. I also really really love Carolyn Jones as Morticia.

With an adult Wednesday and Christina Ricci if she played her, who would be her Gomez is the better question? Or if she were to have any kids, then Pugsley would basically be in that Uncle Fester role

And Morticia would basically be in the Grandmama role

Again that Morticia and Gomez prequel series is going to be some wild, wild stuff.
