Netflix has offered fans a glimpse at Jenna Ortega in her title role as spooky Wednesday Addams in a trailer for a new spin-off series.

The supernatural detective show, directed by Tim Burton and starring Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Luis Guzman as Gomez and Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley, is due for release later this year.

The series follows 16-year-old Wednesday’s years as a student at Nevermore Academy.

The first season will follow Wednesday as she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a killing spree that terrorises the town and solve the murder mystery that her parents were embroiled in 25 years ago.

In the teaser, Zeta-Jones and Guzman appear loved up as members of the Addams family, driving Wednesday to Nevermore Academy after she was expelled from eight schools in five years.

Guzman says: “You will love Nevermore. It is a magical place where I met your mother. Fell in love.”

Zeta-Jones, donning long black hair, pale skin and black lipstick, adds: “Finally you will among peers who understand you. Maybe even make some friends.”

She said: “Little did I know I would be stepping into a nightmare full of mystery, mayhem and murder. I think I am going to love it here.”

On Tuesday, Netflix shared a black-and-white photo of the quartet on Twitter.

“Say hello to Netflix’s Addams Family,” the streaming giant said.

“Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jenna Ortega, Luis Guzman, and Isaac Ordonez star in Wednesday, the new series from Tim Burton.”

Co-creator Miles Millar told Vanity Fair: “It’s not trying to be the movies or the ’60s TV show.

“That was very important to us and very important to Tim (Burton).”
