Wednesday stars Jenna Ortega as the titular macabre young woman, while Catherine Zeta-Jones plays matriarch Morticia and Luis Guzmán is the amorous Gomez. Fans will first get to see Armisen in episode seven, joining his melancholy niece’s quest to uncover a killer at her remote boarding school.
Armisen shows up in episode 7. He has been in hiding due to disturbing polite society.
"He’s someone on the run, but he has a strong link to the family and to Wednesday. They have a really good time together, and they help each other,” Armisen says. “It’s a real family thing, but they’re friends as well.”
Armisen said the selling point was Tim Burton.
“He didn’t direct my episode, but I met with him and hung out with him. You could even say that was one of the main reasons to go all the way to Romania, to get to meet Tim Burton and hang out with him,” Armisen says. “He’s a huge part of my life. I think he’s a huge part of everybody’s life, the way that he’s made that aesthetic really part of the mainstream.”
Wednesday debuts on Netflix on November 23rd.
