We now know who's playing Uncle Fester in *Wednesday,* the highly anticipated *Addams Family* spin-off on Netflix.

In a trailer released by the streaming service today, it's been revealed **Fred Armisen** will take on the role of the iconic, bald uncle. During the clip, we see Uncle Fester surprise his niece, Wednesday Addams (played by **Jenna Ortega**), in the woods as they set off to figure out the mysteries of her new school, Nevermore Academy.

"Come on let's roll!" he says as they take off in a Dalmatian-print motorcycle with a side-car attachment.

"What other surprises are in store?" Wednesday says in a voiceover. "Nevermore continues to be a place where the questions far outweigh the answers. I won't stop until I find the truth. I know the suspense is killing you."

The film also stars **Catherine Zeta-Jones** as Morticia and **Luis Guzman** as Gomez with original Wednesday actor **Christina Ricci** as a Nevermore Academy faculty member, Ms. Thornhill.

Netflix [previously shared](https://celebritykind.ghost.io/content/files/2026/09/jenna-ortega-to-star-as-wednesday-in-new-addams-family-series.html) that the eight-episode series will be a live-action, coming-of-age, comedic take on the life of the Addams Family’s goth daughter, directed by **Tim Burton.** It's out November 23.
