Wednesday Creators Plan New Addams Family Animated Movie With Amazon MGM

The creators of Netflix's Wednesday, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, are developing a new animated Addams Family movie in collaboration with Amazon MGM Studios, marking a complete reboot of the animated film franchise. This project is separate from both the Netflix Wednesday series starring Jenna Ortega and the previous Addams Family animated movies released in 2019 and 2021. The new film, intended for theatrical release, involves Kevin Miserocchi, head of the Addams Foundation who personally knew Charles Addams, ensuring the film aligns closely with the original creator's vision. Meanwhile, Netflix is expanding the Addams Family universe by producing a spin-off series centered on Fred Armisen's character, Uncle Fester. The dual development of these projects underscores the commercial strength of the Addams Family IP, with multiple adaptations across major studios simultaneously in progress. Gough and Millar also shared insights into their creative process for Wednesday, emphasizing the unique worldview of the titular character and the enduring appeal of the franchise.
