Catherine Zeta-Jones explains 7-month absence from family home with Michael Douglas

Catherine Zeta-Jones is back home with her husband Michael Douglas after spending months away from their shared abode thanks to work commitments.

The actress, 55, was devoted to filming for the upcoming second season of Netflix’s Wednesday, gone for seven months to film the show with co-stars Jenna Ortega, Luiz Guzmán, and more.

On her return home, she was given the sweetest welcome gift, and you can watch it in the video below…

“After seven months away from my little guy, Taylor my dog was the best homecoming gift. Oh yes, why 7 months…I was shooting season 2 of @wednesdaynetflix Wednesday!!!” she wrote.

Fans responded to the cute video with comments like: “7 months? My puppy-dog would have been flown to me in a first class seat and accommodations for my doggie anywhere I have to be for work,” and: “Oh how lovely! What a warm welcome our furry friends give us.”

Catherine, who plays Morticia Addams, has been upgraded to a series regular for the second season of the hit supernatural comedy after appearing as a guest on season one, the mother of the titular character, played by Jenna.

Earlier this year, the Oscar-winning actress excitedly welcomed none other than her husband Michael, 80, to the Wednesday set while already months into filming.

“Bring your husband to work day!!!” she enthused alongside a sweet snap of the pair. “At your own risk!!!! @michaelkirkdouglas stepped into our wonder world. Usually such normies would be banished, but Morticia made an exception because ‘A Perfect Murder’ starring the aforementioned, is one of her favorite movies.”

Showrunners Miles Millar and Al Gough told Tudum: “We can’t wait to dive headfirst into another season and explore the kooky, spooky world of Nevermore. We just need to make sure Wednesday hasn’t emptied the pool first.” Jenna herself remarked: “[Wednesday] sticks to her guns, and she’s not out to please anybody… which, as someone who used to be an immense people pleaser, I really respect.”

When discussing other potential additions to the cast, the showrunners added: “Our goal this season was to discover some fresh faces as well as invite some acting legends we’ve always admired to join Jenna and the gang at Nevermore. When we survey the talent we’ve assembled, we could not be more thrilled. Mission accomplished.”
