However, as a result, Weems ended up as one of the season’s casualties.

Below, EW spoke with Christie about joining theTim Burtonseries and Weems' fate.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How did you first hear about this project?

And we arranged a zoom.

And on Zoom I met Tim and I met Al Gough, one of our brilliant writers.

And Tim offered me the part and I was so overwhelmed.

And I was fanning myself and Tim was saying, “Tell me about it.

I want to hide under the table.”

Fast forward a thousand years and I’m lucky enough to be cast in the Addams Family.

Did you know Weems' full arc from the start?

Did you know her fate?

I did know her arc and her fate.

I didn’t have the final few episodes, but I knew her fate.

Certainly not by anything as commonplace as death.

And so I feel like I always felt that Larissa Weems will endure no matter what.

What was it like to play her relationship with Wednesday?

I loved working with Jenna Ortega.

And I loved every moment that I shared with her on the screen.

I loved that their relationship fluctuated all season, and in the end, Weems was the ultimate ally.

She’s willing to change.

And I think she recognizes Wednesday’s brilliant and racing intellectual capacity and her precociousness.

I think she’s waiting to be proved wrong by her.

And when she is, she’s completely on her side.

And I think that’s interesting for a female character also.

She’s a really magnificent actor, and it’s been such a pleasure working with her.

She could be amazingly chilling and hilarious.

“Amazingly chilling and hilarious” is how I’d describe the show.

[Laughs] I really love it.

I think it’s a wonderfully light piece of gorgeous-looking entertainment.

I love the levity of it.

I think that in our times, that’s what we really need right now.
