Netflix unveiled first trailer for 'Wednesday Addams' spin-off series and we love the 'modern' twist

If you’re a fan of the 90s flick The Addams Family, then this is for you.

Netflix has unveiled the first official teaser for the upcoming Wednesday Addams series.

Straight from the imagination of Tim Burton, the new spin-off show is a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery following Wednesday Addams' years as a student at Nevermore Academy.

The new show stars the likes of starring Jenna Ortega in the title role, alongside Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzman, Gwendoline Christie, and even Christina Ricci – who originally played Wednesday in 1991 movie The Addams Family.

The teaser trailer comes after Christina – who is set to appear in several episodes - told Variety: "It’s super fun. I loved working with Tim (Burton) ...  And Jenna is incredible. I saw some of the wardrobe photos before I went (to set) so I knew (what she looked like in character) and I was like, it’s such a great modern take on Wednesday. "

She added: "It's so true tonally to the heart and soul of (the original), but it’s then it’s incredibly modern and it’s great."

Wednesday appears as a child in previous incarnations, including the two films Christina starred in, but the new TV show portrays her as a teenager.

According to Netflix: "Wednesday's attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorised the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships at Nevermore."

Christina, 42, was just 11 years old when she made the 1991 movie The Addams Family and reprised her role as Wednesday in 1993's Addams Family Values.

She also admitted the role shaped her life as it made her fall in love with acting.

During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, she explained: "I did (fall in love with movies). I think The Addams Family, one, those movies were so sort of formative for my career. "Because the first thing I did that was really successful was all about me being allowed to do something that was not conventional. "So it really sort of shaped everything for me in so many ways and then also I remember I kind of fell into being a kid actor. It was brought to me, and then I was like, 'Okay, sure. I'll do this.'' But I had always planned on doing something different."
