Jenna Ortega transforms into Wednesday Addams in Netflix trailer for Tim Burton series

US actress Jenna Ortega has transformed into the iconic Wednesday Addams for Tim Burton's upcoming Netflix series.

A 30-second teaser trailer for Wednesday was released on Netflix's Twitter account, and has already got fans excited.

In the short video, 19-year-old Jenna is seen plaiting her jet black hair as a clock ticks in the background before a spotlight falls on her.

As Wednesday walks into the light, she is wearing her trademark black dress complete with a white collar as she scolds the camera.

As she adjusts her collar, a moving hand - better known as Thing - appears on her shoulder and clicks their fingers which makes the lights go out.

The trailer reveals: "Netflix woefully presents a twisted new series from the mind of Tim Burton."

Jenna, who has appeared in series such as Jane the Virgin and You, also shared a snap on her own Twitter page dressed in her Wednesday get up.

Netflix fans are already excited to tune in and quickly commented on the Twitter post.

The series will be a coming-of-age supernatural mystery comedy focusing on Wednesday Addams and her years as a high school student at Nevermore Academy, where she attempts to master her psychic powers, stop a monstrous killing spree of the town citizens, and solve the supernatural mystery that affected her family 25 years ago — all while navigating her new relationships.

Wednesday drops on Netflix this autumn.
