Wednesday is a very popular series on Netflix. One of the actors has now confirmed that his character will get its own spin-off series. This brings joy to some fans, while others express concerns.
Which character is it about? Uncle Fester has always been part of the Addams Family universe and is thus an important part of the Netflix series Wednesday. While it tells the story of the titular daughter of the family, Uncle Fester is also part of the action.
Especially in the second season, which just started at the beginning of August, the character has gained some new, exciting abilities. This led to a high placement in our ranking of the strongest characters from Wednesday.
But that’s not all: The actor Fred Armisen, who portrays Uncle Fester, has now confirmed on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon what some fans have already hoped for (via gamesradar.com). His character will receive its own series.
The strange uncle divides the fans
What did Armisen reveal? Unfortunately, not much. He only said to Jimmy Fallon that the series is currently in development and that it would be great.
This means that production is just getting started and it will take some time before the series makes its way to the streaming platform Netflix. In the meantime, fans are eagerly discussing what they think of the idea and what they would like to see in the series.
What do the fans think? On Reddit, the spin-off series is discussed by users and fans of the Addams Family. It quickly becomes clear that opinions are divided. While some are pleased that Uncle Fester will get his own series, others express concerns.
The user Enriquelgoni writes on behalf of many other users: “The idea seems strange to me. Fester has always been my favorite character from the Addams Family, but I don’t know if he can carry the weight of a spin-off on his own. Still, I think it could be interesting if it’s not too long or complicated.”
Since there are no details about the plot of the series yet, users also share their thoughts here:
- The user swoonyaboutclooney writes: “I don’t know, maybe it will be fun to watch him rob banks, being on the go and pulling all the crazy pranks he comes up with, but I’m not sure how they could stretch that over more than one season.”
- “A little backstory, some intrigue, a lot of world-building. Where does he get his supplies from? Who gives him tips on heists? Does he team up with outcasts?” khorispy27 shares his ideas.
- “Maybe a prequel with Fester’s escapades and Thing under Fester’s other aliases,” speculates paulsclamchowder.
- “He joins the Marine Corps to fight crime in the brand new series NCIS: Fester,” suggests Aglet_Green with a wink.
Apart from the plot, it will be exciting to see who from the original cast of the main series will be involved. Whether someone like Jenna Ortega shows up or if the series takes place much earlier in the past. What do you think about it? Are you looking forward to a spin-off with Uncle Fester? Feel free to write it to us in the comments. At least for Wednesday, there has been no good news for Netflix lately: The second season of Wednesday will get new episodes in 2 days, but almost half of the audience seems to have no desire for it.
