solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago

Wait...no Gomez and Morticia?

It doesn't say they'll be dead, just that they couldn't solve a crime or that's how I'm reading it.

[boomstick]

omg. I read "embroiled" like they were broiled alive. wtf is wrong with me

SAME i was like DAMN WHAT??

I'm not excited about this project but I'm excited for her. Loved her on You

ETA: Can they cast (an obviously aged-up) Christina Ricci as Morticia plzzz

[champagnexdream]

Yeah but considering Anjelica Huston was around the same age when she played Morticia in the movies, when Wednesday was like 12, I feel like it'd be weird to not have to age Christina up? Unless she played Morticia in flashbacks or something

who says morticia has to age lol

[sandstorm]

Good for her tbh. I enjoyed "Stuck In The Middle".

[darklitplanet]

unexpected but great casting. my curiosity is piqued.

I wanted a series with the whole family so this is kinda a letdown but I'll give it a chance. I wish we'd be done with the Riverdale/Sabrina/Nancy Drew type teen shows era already.
