The Addams Family reboot Wednesday adds Thora Birch and more

August 31, 2021 by Gary Collinson

Having already brought on You and Yes Day actress Jenna Ortega in the title role alongside Luis Guzman as Gomez and Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia, Netflix’s Tim Burton-produced The Addams Family reboot Wednesday has now filled out its supporting cast.

Joining the new live-action series are Thora Birch as Wednesday’s dorm mother Tamara Novak, Riki Lindhome as Wednesday’s therapist Dr. Valerie Kinbott and Jamie McShane is Sheriff Donovan Galpin, along with Nevermore Academy classmates Hunter Doohan as Wednesday’s friend Tyler Galpin, who happens to also be the sheriff’s son; Georgie Farmer as shy Nevermore Academy student Ajax Petropolus; Moosa Mostafa as beekeeping club president Eugene Otinger; Emma Myers as Wednesday’s roommate Enid Sinclair; Naomi J. Ogawa as vampire Yoko Tanaka; Joy Sunday as popular girl Bianca Barclay, and Percy Hynes White as artist and rich kid Xavier Thorpe.

Wednesday is described as “a coming-of-age comedy that follows Wednesday as she studies and develops relationships at Nevermore Academy while also trying to master her psychic abilities, stop a local killing spree and solve a supernatural mystery.”

Tim Burton is on board to direct and executive produce, while Al Gough and Miles Millar (Smallville) are serving as showrunners.
