Christina Ricci and Jimmy Workman, as Wednesday and Puggsley, had grown up, so a return for them was out of the question. Approaches duly went out to Anjelica Huston to reprise the role of Morticia Addams, and Christopher Lloyd to come back as Uncle Fester. It looked for some continuity, too, to bring over at least some of the audience goodwill that the movies had generated. started developing what would morph into Addams Family Reunion, a TV movie that was intended to be the pilot for the new series. 15 to 20 years before it became the go-to trend, the idea was to continue the Addams’ adventures on the small screen (although the origins of the Addams Family lie in Charles Addams’ original cartoon strips, and the subsequent TV series, so in this case, it was perhaps more “returning home”).Īs such, Warner Bros. and Saban (the Power Rangers people) then had plans for a new television project, The New Addams Family.

Paramount distributed the first two Addams Family movies, having snapped up the first film late in production from the financially-challenged Orion.

This one, though, was from a different company, with different intentions.

Wanting to recapture the box office gold of the first film, and recognizing that the second deserved better, plans were put in place for another project. But then somebody went and thought of it anyway.
