The supporting cast features Emma Myers (Enid Sinclair), Joy Sunday (Bianca Barclay), Catherine Zeta-Jones (Morticia Addams), Luis Guzmán (Gomez Addams), Isaac Ordonez (Pugsley Addams), Fred Armisen (Uncle Fester), Joanna Lumley (Grandma Hester Frump), George Burcea (Lurch), and Steve Buscemi (Principal Barry Dort).
“Your family at school is the worst thing possible, isn’t it?” director and executive producer Burton told Netflix’s website Tudum. “I never wanted my parents to come to school. Wednesday is an even more extreme version of that. Poor Pugsley. He’s kind of an outcast among outcasts, so I feel for him. He comes into Nevermore for the first time, so we get to see his experience at school. Everybody has their own specialty power, and he’s new to his own. He’s just exploring his newfound teenage powers.”
Here is a brief logline via Netflix/Tudum:
This year, Wednesday is joined at school by a new member of the Addams family: her little brother Pugsley (Ordonez), who begins his own Nevermore journey. Their parents, Morticia (Zeta-Jones) and Gomez Addams (Guzmán), will also have an increased presence on campus — a rare new form of torture for the fiercely independent amateur sleuth.
