The Addams Family spin-off is a sleuthing, supernatural mystery that charts Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) as a student at Nevermore Academy. There, she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous murder spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that troubled her parents 25 years ago.
Buscemi (pictured) will play an undisclosed role in the Ortega-led series.

Other executive producers include Steve Stark for Toluca Pictures, Andrew Mittman for 1.21 Entertainment, Kevin Miserocchi for Tee and Charles Addams Foundation, Kayla Alpert, Jonathan Glickman for Glickmania, Gail Berman, Tommy Harper and Kevin Lafferty.
