Director Tim Burton and streaming service Netflix have announced plans for a live-action series centered on Wednesday Addams, which was played by Christina Ricci in the The Addams Family movie franchise from the 90s. The new eight-episode comedy, titled Wednesday, would focus on the daughter of Gomez and Morticia Addams.

The official plot description reads: “The series is a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy. Wednesday 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.”

The Addams Family was originally a live action television series in the 1970s before the movies from the 90s were released. This series will mark Burton‘s first television series directorial debut.

Jordan said, “It’s an incredible honor and I bring tons of respect to it. It’s a healthy weight to carry, to be able to tell the story of Muhammad Ali. It’s called The Greatest right now and we’re partnered with Roc Nation on the music side of things. It’s a project where we’ve partnered with the estate and we’ll be able to tell this story with no red tape. It’s a limited series that will really dive into the life of Muhammad Ali.”

Jordan added that he will not be acting in the project, and will instead will be working behind the scenes: “People know Muhammad Ali from his boxing days, but this is an opportunity to go beyond the ring, and more into the man. It’s going to give more of a 360 degree view of who he was. And no, I’m not playing that guy, I can say that for sure, and we are still in early stages here and can’t say too much. We are still putting the pieces together, but it feels like something to look forward to in the future.”

Gwyneth Paltrow is speaking out about her personal experience with COVID-19, saying she had the disease “early on” and sharing that it left her with long-lasting symptoms. Paltrow wrote on her Goop website: “I had COVID-19 early on, and it left me with some long-tail fatigue and brain fog.” The 48-year-old actress revealed that she had tests done in January and it “showed really high levels of inflammation” in her body and explained that hers “was a case where the road to healing was going to be longer than usual.” 

Paltrow said that she has been taking care of her health by refraining from consuming sugar and alcohol. She also has a new regimen she follows to combat her COVID-19 symptoms called ‘Intuitive Fasting’ which is keto and plant-based, where you fast until 11 a.m. every day. Paltrow said that following this protocol she has the energy to work out so she can release the toxins in her body which she hopes eventually leads to a full recovery from COVID-19.
