Horror Weekly News: Wednesday gets a teaser. Vampire Academy series coming soon.

 They’re creepy and they’re kooky, mysterious and, spooky…

The Addams Family are back, but this time in an adaptation where Wednesday takes center stage. 

Coming this October, Netflix will release a new show titled WEDNESDAY that stars Jenna Ortega in the titular role. The series follows Wednesday’s journey in finding her true self while discovering a mystery in the new school she’s sent to. 

In the teaser we see Wednesday in true Addams Family fashion, using piranhas to deal with some boys hassling her. Chances her they bullied her brother too which is why Wednesday has come for revenge. After all, no one is allowed to torture Pugsley but her. 

Unfortunately, one of the boys doesn’t escape in time and has a small part of him eaten. Wednesday is quite possibly expelled after which she is driven by her parents to Nevermore Academy where she discovers mayhem and even murder. 

Just what exactly is going on at the new school? We do see Wednesday enjoying herself and fitting right in. 

The series is directed by Tim Burton and will have eight episodes. Cristina Ricci, who famously played Wednesday in the original movies is listed in the cast as well although her character is yet to be revealed.
