Animated Addams Family film under development by Wednesday producers, disconnected from the popular Netflix series
The iconic Addams Family is set to return to our screens in a brand-new animated reboot, developed by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, the creative minds behind Netflix's "Wednesday." This project marks a fresh start for the Addams Family franchise, separate from the Netflix series and the 2019 and 2021 animated films[1][2][3][4].
Key figures involved in the project include:
- Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, who will be serving as writers and producers.
- Kevin Miserocchi, a member of the Addams Foundation and a close acquaintance of Charles Addams, the original creator of the Addams Family.
- Producers Gail Berman and John Glickman are also involved.
- The reboot is being developed with Amazon MGM Studios[1][2][3][4].
At present, the film is in the early stages of development, and an official release window has not been announced[1][2][3][4]. The team has expressed their intention to create a theatrical release rather than a film exclusively for streaming platforms[3].
Charles Addams, an American cartoonist, is credited with bringing the Addams Family to life. His creations graced the pages of The New Yorker from 1938 until his passing in 1988[5][6]. The Addams Family animated series, which first appeared in The New Yorker, has since spawned numerous live-action and animated TV shows, movies, video games, and a Broadway musical[7].
For those eagerly awaiting the return of "Wednesday" on Netflix, season 2, part 1 is now available[8]. If you're interested in learning more about the latest developments in the world of entertainment, be sure to check out our review of Wednesday season 2 part 1.
