In Wednesday, Wednesday Addams' pet is gravely injured, leading many to wonder if Thing died in Netflix's Addams Family spinoff. In Wednesday, Thing is a disembodied stitched-together hand that acts as a pet of sorts to the Addams Family. When Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) departs for Nevermore Academy in the show, her family decides that Thing should accompany her to the school. The hand who plays Thing in Wednesday is provided by magician Victor Dorobantu using a combination of on-set effects and post-production editing.
