The Charles Addams-created property The Addams Family has endured after all these years, taking on many different forms throughout the decades. The latest is of course Netflix’s live action series “Wednesday” starring Jenna Ortega, which came along in the wake of two animated feature films that were released in theaters by United Artists in 2019 and in 2021.
But the animated Addams Family saga is now getting a reboot from “Wednesday” creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, the duo has revealed on Deadline’s Crew Call podcast.
While the new animated movie is from the team behind “Wednesday,” it will not be connected to the Netflix series, and also not connected to the 2019 and 2021 animated movies either.
Gough and Millar reveal, “We’re working on it with Amazon MGM and Kevin Miserocchi who runs the Addams Foundation – he knew Charles Addams and the keeper of the Addams flame – and with Gail Berman and John Glickman. We’re rebooting the animated film franchise.”
“So it won’t have anything to do with the two films before it, nor is it connected with this show,” Gough and Millar make crystal clear. “It will be a brand new Addams feature. There’s not really much we can say about it, because it’s in the very early stages.”
“Wednesday” Season 2: Part 1 is now streaming on Netflix.
