4.- Marilyn Thornhill (Christina Ricci)
The return of christina ricci to the universe of ‘The Addams Family’ was the most commented, because in this Netflix series the actress who played Merlina in the 90s will now return to play Marilyn Thornhillthe Evermore Academy prefect who definitely reminds us of the saying “Nothing is as it seems”.
5.- Xavier Thorpe (Percy Hynes White)
Like a good series for teenagers, the story of ‘Merlina’ would have to have some love drama and that will be in charge of Xavierone of Merlina’s interests and who will even lead the young Addams to delve deeper into things of the current world.

8.- Morticia Addams (Catherine Zeta-Jones)
Merlina’s mom and Gomez’s wife. Morticia and Merlina’s relationship isn’t the best (wow, in the teen’s eyes), however, the family bond is so strong that it will just help Merlina Addams in her battle against dark forces.
9.- Pugsley Addams (Isaac Ordonez)
Merlina’s little brother. Although she considers him the black sheep of the family (because he is very noble), the girl protects him from those who bully him. Even if it means throwing piranhas into a pool full of abusive people.

slippery as always Fingers will be Merlina’s number 1 ally in this series and also, the character that they will surely love the most in this production. Although she comes to Evermore Academy to keep an eye on her, the two will become great friends.
