Who Plays Morticia Addams And Young Gomez On Wednesday?

The exploits of the scary, quirky, and generally ooky Addams Family, or more specifically, one of them, are continued in the new Netflix series Wednesday. Daughter Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) is taken by the Tim Burton-produced and directed television series and separated from the rest of the family. She is then sent to Nevermore Academy, where she quickly begins looking into some macabre secrets.

That is not to suggest that the remaining Addamses are not shown to us. Wednesday’s parents Gomez and Morticia, played this time by Luis Guzman and Catherine Zeta-Jones, as well as Uncle Fester, performed by SNL veteran Fred Armisen, and Wednesday’s sibling Pugsley, portrayed by Isaac Ordonez, all make appearances on the program.

In actuality, Wednesday has two sets of Addams parents; through a series of flashbacks in one episode specifically, viewers get to see the younger versions of Gomez and Morticia for the first time, back when they were just a young couple in love at Nevermore, and discover more about the history of how this enigmatic and spooky dynasty first came to be.
