Trailer Teases A New Addams Family Series Coming To Netflix, But Is It Real?

For hardcore horror films the video, posted on alexiabertha’s YouTube channel, is clearly fake, seeing that it is made up of clips from films and series, like Crimson Peak and Penny Dreadful. If the day comes when Netflix announces an Addams Family series or film, we will let you know.
