The Addams Family Timeline: Every TV Show and Movie in Chronological Order

From Charles Addams' original New Yorker cartoons to Netflix's smash-hit Wednesday, the Addams Family has been a beloved fixture of pop culture for over 80 years. Fans waiting for Wednesday season 2 can explore the full history of Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley, Uncle Fester, Lurch, and Thing across multiple adaptations. The journey begins with the 1964–1966 live-action TV series starring John Astin and Carolyn Jones, followed by the animated 1973 series and the 1977 Halloween special. The 1990s brought a major revival with the feature films The Addams Family (1991) and Addams Family Values (1993), starring Raul Julia, Anjelica Huston, Christina Ricci, and Christopher Lloyd. The franchise continued with the 1998 direct-to-video film Addams Family Reunion and a short-lived 1998 TV series, The New Addams Family. More recently, the family returned in two animated films from MGM (2019 and 2021) and the 2022 Netflix series Wednesday, starring Jenna Ortega and directed in part by Tim Burton. Each adaptation puts a unique spin on the macabre yet loving family, proving their enduring appeal across generations.
