The series is set in Nevermore Academy and the plot will follow Wednesday as she “attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized 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 Ricci, who famously played Wednesday in the 1991 and ‘93 live-action films, will play a yet-unnamed new character. The eight-episode series is directed and produced by Tim Burton, and stars Jenna Ortega as a teenage Wednesday, Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams, and Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams. Meanwhile, Netflix unveiled a first look at its Wednesdayseries, set in the world of The Addams Family. As far as Pride month news, file this under “Fa–boo-lous!” And it frankly contributes much-needed diversity to a genre that has traditionally been dominated by straight, cisgender dudes. This isn’t the first time a show about gay ghost hunters has bounced around, but the high profile power of Stewart and Scout make this not only viable, but it has the potential to pop in a big way. The actor described the show as “the most gayest, most funnest, most titillating queer ghost-hunting show ever.” The post also shared a website where prospective LGBTQ+ investigators, researchers, and mediums can share their experiences to be considered for the show. In a video shared to Instagram by her friend CJ Romero, Stewart announced she’ll executive produce the project with Scout, the producers of Queer Eye.

The nine-month research will be led by astrophysicist David Spergel and operate independently of the Pentagon.

Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA’s associate administrator for science, said the study to begin this fall “will focus on identifying available data, how to best collect future data, and how NASA can use these data to move the scientific understanding of U.A.P.s forward.” Fun, and perhaps even a bit unnerving when it begins to seem like yesterday’s spooky tabloid fodder is today’s reputable headline, such as with the first story in our paranormal pop culture news round up this week…įollowing the House subcommittee hearing a few weeks back (which we discussed extensively in the video above), NASA announced yesterday that it will finance “high-risk, high-impact” research into UAP sightings.
Plus, it’s just fun to talk about the paranormal and supernatural. From my perspective as a journalist, I have always found that paranormal stories, and the discussion of what’s “out there,” reveal as much about us as a people and can highlight commonalities across cultures. Meanwhile, anthropologist Jack Hunter recently said in a virtual talk at Harvard that there is academic value in exploring complex “supernormal” experiences. On one hand, belief in the unexplained is on the rise as religious affiliation decreases, The New York Times reported last October. But why are the topics of ghosts, monsters, aliens, “meat rain” (more on that below), and other phenomena that could be flippantly dismissed as tabloid site fodder given a home on Den of Geek, an entertainment news outlet? Why, for instance, would we dedicate our energy to the weekly paranormal pop culture Talking Strange podcast and video series hosted by yours truly, and available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube? It’s been another couple of strange days in which the paranormal has punctuated the news.
