Thora Birch Departs Tim Burton's Wednesday Series for 'Personal' Reasons

Partway through production, Wednesday has lost a main cast member. In the works at Netflix, Wednesday is a new take on The Addams Family from filmmaker Tim Burton which stars Jenna Ortega as a college-aged Wednesday Addams attending college and solving old mysteries. Its stacked cast also included Birch, but her character will be scaled back a bit after the actress flew back home from the set in Romania with no plans to return to complete her written scenes.
