Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán Cast as Morticia and Gomez Addams in Netflix 'Addams Family' Series

Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán Cast as Morticia and Gomez Addams in Netflix ‘Addams Family’ Series. The new Addams Family live-action series, named ‘Wednesday‘ will primarily focus on the character Wednesday Addams as she navigates a more modern world in the 2020s with her unique outlook on life and death.

Previously, Netflix had shared Jenna Ortega (Stuck in the Middle, Elena of Avalor, and Jane the Virgin) would be starring as the series lead. This week, the popular streaming service announced that Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán would star as Wednesday’s parents, Morticia and Gomez Addams. The news was shared with headshots of the new cast members along with the caption:

“Our Addams family is expanding! Catherine Zeta-Jones will step into the iconic silhouette of Morticia Addams while Luis Guzmán will bring to life the debonair Gomez Addams in the upcoming TV series Wednesday, starring Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams and directed by Tim Burton.“
