Fred Armisen Confirms WEDNESDAY’s Uncle Fester Spinoff Series Is Moving Forward

by

As a self-proclaimed Addams Family enthusiast, let me spill the beans about my chat with Jimmy Fallon regarding the upcoming Uncle Fester spinoff. Now, I can’t give away too many secrets, but let me tell you this – it’s nothing short of extraordinary! It’s an absolute blast to be a part of it, and there’s something incredibly natural about the whole thing.

With all due respect to the hype around it, that’s as much as I can reveal about the project at this point. What I can say is that I’m thrilled to be a part of it and to bring this iconic character back to life. The joy I get from stepping into his shoes and continuing his legacy is simply indescribable!

In a delightful surprise, Uncle Fester graced the screen on the show Wednesday for a short yet impactful visit during season one, leaving fans elated. Then, in an even more significant turn of events, he reappeared in season two with a slightly larger part. This included his character being committed to a mental institution and coming back to collect Wednesday in the finale, planning a summer road trip further north in search of Enid, who had transformed into a wolf-like figure.

As a devoted fan, I find myself constantly drawn into the intriguing world of this cunning, enigmatic, and daredevil character portrayed by Fred Armisen in the series. Essentially, he’s a criminal genius who possesses the extraordinary ability to fire lightning from his fingertips, and let me tell you, he never blends in with the crowd. To top it off, this evasive figure is always eluding capture for a multitude of misdeeds.

On Wednesdays, there are numerous intriguing storylines that could potentially support a spin-off series focused on Armisen’s character, akin to Uncle Fester. The show would likely depict his current situations, but it might also delve into flashbacks. We’re curious about his experiences at the Zurich Institute for the Criminally Insane in 1983, or perhaps the events that transpired during his five-year stay at a Tibetan monastery. This character certainly seems to be leading an extraordinarily adventurous life.

Currently, no additional information has been released regarding the upcoming spinoff of the Uncle Fester Wednesday television series. However, since Fred Armisen confirmed its progression, we can expect to learn more about this project soon. By chance, if they could also develop a prequel focusing on Grandmama Frump, that would be fantastic! Netflix, no need to hurry, but we’re definitely looking forward to it!
