Tim Burton is surely the maestro of all things eerie and quirky. He made his TV debut with Wednesday, The Addams Family spinoff. It was a smash hit where people loved seeing these oddballs strut their stuff solo-style. With the buzz around Wednesday Season 2 buzzing louder than a haunted house, it looks like the Addams Family is setting up camp for more ghostly shenanigans on the screen.

Rumor has it that another spinoff is being planned, maybe even bigger and spookier than before. This spinoff will not be Jenna Ortega’s playground. It is about someone else who has grown to be loved from the show. Here is the extra spice in the Addams Family stew.

Wednesday spinoff with this character?

Netflix is revving up for the second installment of Wednesday, their colossal hit inspired by The Addams Family characters. With a staggering 250 million views last year and a consistent spot in the top 10 during the year’s first half, the show’s wild success sparked talks about another Addams Family venture. As per Bloomberg, this time it is centered around Uncle Fester, as brought to life by Fred Armisen. However, while plans were brewing, the Uncle Fester show was still in the oven, pending storylines, securing talent contracts, and aligning schedules.

The streaming juggernaut aimed to expand its Addams Family world and cash in on Wednesday’s triumph. In cahoots with Amazon, which nabbed The Addams Family rights through its MGM acquisition, Netflix was eager to cook up a series of Addams Family-related programs. This trend mirrored the industry’s obsession with franchises as various streaming platforms and networks scrambled to whip up spinoffs, prequels, and sequels of established shows.

Why pick Uncle Fester out of the bunch for a spinoff? Indeed, he is the real diamond in the rough.

Why Uncle Fester for the spinoff?

In the depths of Wednesday’s Season 1, Episode 7, Fred Armisen brings Uncle Fester to life in a quirky, on-the-run role. This seasoned TV talent, famed for his SNL and Portlandia stints, injected a new spark into the character, stealing scenes even amidst Jenna Ortega’s brilliance as Wednesday. Armisen’s knack for captivating audiences sets the stage for a promising solo adventure for the oddball Fester.

Uncle Fester’s unconventional escapades and Armisen’s magnetic portrayal create the perfect recipe for a spinoff. In Wednesday’s world of spotlighting individual characters, Fester’s lonesome persona becomes a magnetic draw. A potential spinoff could unfold Fester’s globetrotting adventures, diving into his encounters with various criminal circles and potentially unveiling elusive Addams Family members, like the ever-elusive Cousin Itt. More so, promising an unexplored arena.
