Netflix’s Wednesday Spinoff Should Be An Uncle Fester Prequel With Thing

Though a spinoff would n’t need to regard the school day , present Fester ’s journeying as a unseasoned adult would still do the put-on to appeal to the same demographic that led toWednesday ’s massive popularity .
A prequel could also dive deeper into Thing ’s descent . Then again , any screentime given to the sentient hand would be satisfying enough , considering how much of a view - stealerWednesday ’s version of affair had become . Granted , even if a untried player is roam as Fester Addams for a spinoff , there ’s no reason Armisen could n’t reprise his role inWednesdayseason 2 or other franchise projects that Netflix develops .
