‘Wednesday’ Spinoff Ideas on Us’ Wishlist: Addams Family Reunion and More on December 25, 2023 at 8:00 pm Us Weekly

Netflix has possible plans to create a Wednesday spinoff around Uncle Fester — but Us has some other ideas about where the story could go.
The series, which premiered in November 2022, is based on the character Wednesday Addams, who was originally introduced in The Addams Family cartoons. The concept later was adapted into a TV series, several feature films and a live musical adaption.
Wednesday reintroduced fans to a new version of the fictional character, played by Jenna Ortega, as she attempted to master her psychic powers at Nevermore Academy while dealing with a murderous monster on the loose. The show also offered a glimpse at Wednesday’s family members including mother Morticia Addams (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and father Gomez Addams (Luis Guzmán).
But apparently it was Wednesday’s Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen) who caught the eye of executives at the streaming service and at production company Amazon MGM Studios. Reports surfaced in December 2023 about a potential spinoff series being considered, which would revolve around the eccentric character.
Creators Al Gough and Miles Millar previously hinted at conversations with Netflix about expanding the Wednesday universe.
“When you create a world like this, the intention is any one of these characters could be the lead in their own show,” Gough told The Hollywood Reporter in November 2022. “Certainly it’s cast that way, when you have Fred Armisen, when you have Catherine Zeta-Jones, when you have Luis Guzmán. It’s certainly something we’ve discussed and would very much like to, in success, really branch out this world beyond just Wednesday.”
Not every fan, however, had an Uncle Fester spinoff at the top of their wishlist when there are so many other stories worth the investment.
Keep scrolling for some spinoff ideas compiled by Us:
Morticia and Gomez’s Prequel Era

Viewers got a glimpse at the early days of Morticia and Gomez’s love story during the first season of Wednesday. Gwen Jones played a teenage Morticia opposite Lucius Hoyos‘ young Gomez — and the resemblance was uncanny. In addition to the strong casting, Wednesday featured flashbacks showing how Gomez got arrested when he took the fall for Garrett Gates’ death (Lewis Hayes) following a duel for Morticia.
Those scenes proved that there was an opportunity to go back in time to show Morticia and Gomez’s love story on screen. Fans could even get the chance to see the origin stories of more members of the Addams Family.

Speaking of the Addams Family, the characters at the center of the series originally became a household name due to the 1991 movie The Addams Family and its sequel, Addams Family Values.
Wednesday mentioned the names of other iconic family members — and had Thing (Victor Dorobantu) by her side throughout season 1 — but that doesn’t compete with a show focused exclusively around the kooky group. Some potential characters who have yet to make an appearance include Gomez’s Cousin Itt, Grandmama, their pets and possibly Wednesday and Pugsley’s (Isaac Ordonez) infant brother, Pubert.
The family’s butler Lurch (George Burcea), Uncle Fester, Pugsley and Thing could also have a larger role to play on the potential spinoff.
Keeping Up With Laurel

As soon as Christina Ricci — who played Wednesday in the ’90s films — was cast on the Netflix series, the theories about who she would be playing took off. She turned out to be the antagonist of the first season after manipulating Tyler (Hunter Doohan) into becoming her Hyde and ordering him to kill people as a way to bring Joseph Crackstone (William Houston) back to life.
Wednesday seemingly killed Laurel Gates but that doesn’t mean Ricci couldn’t somehow return to our screens. The possibilities include a show focused on how Laurel Gates infiltrated Nevermore as Marilyn Thornhil.
An Interview With a Hyde

Season 1 introduced a mysterious monster that was killing people in the nearby town. It took eight episodes for Wednesday to figure out that her boyfriend — and now ex — Tyler was responsible after he figured out how to turn into a Hyde. Putting a familiar face to the name made viewers more invested but there wasn’t much time to show Tyler’s point of view.
A limited series that tracked the months before Wednesday arrived at Jericho could offer some much-needed perspective. Especially since Tyler seemingly returns in the second season.

What We Can Learn Inside 50 Cent’s Explosive Diddy Documentary: 5 Reasons You Should Watch

50 Cent’s new Netflix docuseries about Sean “Diddy” Combs is more than a headline-grabbing exposé; it is a meticulous breakdown of how power, celebrity, and silence can collide in the entertainment industry.
Across its episodes, the series traces Diddy’s rise, the allegations that followed him for years, and the shocking footage and testimonies now forcing a wider cultural reckoning.

1. It Chronicles Diddy’s Rise and Fall – And How Power Warps Reality
The docuseries follows Combs from hitmaker and business icon to a figure facing serious criminal conviction and public disgrace, mapping out decades of influence, branding, and behind-the-scenes behavior. Watching that arc shows how money, fame, and industry relationships can shield someone from scrutiny and delay accountability, even as disturbing accusations accumulate.

2. Never-Before-Seen Footage Shows How Narratives Are Managed
Exclusive footage of Diddy in private settings and in the tense days around his legal troubles reveals how carefully celebrity narratives are shaped, even in crisis.
Viewers can learn to question polished statements and recognize that what looks spontaneous in public is often the result of strategy, damage control, and legal calculation.
3. Survivors’ Stories Highlight Patterns of Abuse and Silence
Interviews with alleged victims, former staff, and industry insiders describe patterns of control, fear, and emotional or physical harm that were long whispered about but rarely aired in this detail. Their stories underline how difficult it is to speak out against a powerful figure, teaching viewers why many survivors delay disclosure and why consistent patterns across multiple accounts matter.
4. 50 Cent’s Approach Shows Storytelling as a Tool for Accountability
As executive producer, 50 Cent uses his reputation and platform to push a project that leans into uncomfortable truths rather than protecting industry relationships. The series demonstrates how documentary storytelling can challenge established power structures, elevate marginalized voices, and pressure institutions to respond when traditional systems have failed.
5. The Cultural Backlash Reveals How Society Handles Celebrity Accountability
Reactions to the doc—ranging from people calling it necessary and brave to others dismissing it as a vendetta or smear campaign—expose how emotionally invested audiences can be in defending or condemning a famous figure. Watching that debate unfold helps viewers see how fandom, nostalgia, and bias influence who is believed, and why conversations about “cancel culture” often mask deeper questions about justice and who is considered too powerful to fall.

South Park’s Christmas Episode Delivers the Antichrist

A new Christmas-themed episode of South Park is scheduled to air with a central plot in which Satan is depicted as preparing for the birth of an Antichrist figure. The premise extends a season-long narrative arc that has involved Satan, Donald Trump, and apocalyptic rhetoric, positioning this holiday episode as a culmination of those storylines rather than a stand‑alone concept.
Episode premise and season context
According to published synopses and entertainment coverage, the episode frames the Antichrist as part of a fictional storyline that blends religious symbolism with commentary on politics, media, and cultural fear. This follows earlier Season 28 episodes that introduced ideas about Trump fathering an Antichrist child and tech billionaire Peter Thiel obsessing over prophecy and end‑times narratives. The Christmas setting is presented as a contrast to the darker themes, reflecting the series’ pattern of pairing holiday imagery with controversial subject matter.
Public and political reactions
Coverage notes that some figures connected to Donald Trump’s political orbit have criticized the season’s portrayal of Trump and his allies, describing the show as relying on shock tactics rather than substantive critique. Commentators highlight that these objections are directed more at the depiction of real political figures and the show’s tone than at the specific theology of the Antichrist storyline.
At the time of reporting, there have not been widely reported, detailed statements from major religious leaders focused solely on this Christmas episode, though religion-focused criticism of South Park in general has a long history.
Media and cultural commentary
Entertainment outlets such as The Hollywood Reporter, Entertainment Weekly, Forbes, Slate, and USA Today describe the Antichrist arc as part of South Park’s ongoing use of Trump-era and tech-world politics as material for satire.
Viewer guidance and content advisory
South Park is rated TV‑MA and is intended for adult audiences due to strong language, explicit themes, and frequent use of religious and political satire. Viewers who are sensitive to depictions of Satan, the Antichrist, or parodies involving real political figures may find this episode particularly objectionable, while others may view it as consistent with the show’s long‑running approach to controversial topics. As with previous episodes, individual responses are likely to vary widely, and the episode is best understood as part of an ongoing satirical series rather than a factual or theological statement.

Sydney Sweeney Finally Confronts the Plastic Surgery Rumors

Sydney Sweeney has decided she is finished watching strangers on the internet treat her face like a forensic project. After years of side‑by‑side screenshots, “then vs now” TikToks, and long comment threads wondering what work she has supposedly had done, the actor is now addressing the plastic surgery rumors directly—and using them to say something larger about how women are looked at in Hollywood and online.

Growing Up on Camera vs. “Before and After” Culture
Sweeney points out that people are often mistaking normal changes for procedures: she grew up on camera, her roles now come with big‑budget glam teams, and her body has shifted as she has trained, aged, and worked nonstop. Yet every new red‑carpet photo gets folded into a narrative that assumes surgeons, not time, are responsible. Rather than walking through a checklist of what is “real,” she emphasizes how bizarre it is that internet detectives comb through pores, noses, and jawlines as if they are owed an explanation for every contour of a woman’s face.
The Real Problem Isn’t Her Face
By speaking up, Sweeney is redirecting the conversation away from her features and toward the culture that obsesses over them.
She argues that the real issue isn’t whether an actress has had work done, but why audiences feel so entitled to dissect her body as public property in the first place.
For her, the constant speculation is less about curiosity and more about control—another way to tell women what they should look like and punish them when they do not fit. In calling out that dynamic, Sweeney isn’t just defending herself; she is forcing fans and followers to ask why tearing apart someone else’s appearance has become such a popular form of entertainment.
