Wednesday strongly considers her forced attendance to be her parents’ idea of molding her into a smaller version of Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones), since Nevermore was where she and Gomez (Luis Guzman) originally fell in love. Nevermore is a rocky adjustment, to say the least, as Wednesday initially attempts to find creative ways of escaping Principal Larissa Weems’ (Gwendoline Christie) wary gaze. Wednesday’s roommate Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers) is a brightly optimistic werewolf whose color palette never seems to end Xavier Thorpe (Percy Hynes) is a mysterious artist who can bring his drawings to life Bianca Barclay (Joy Sunday), Wednesday’s immediate rival, is also Nevermore’s resident queen bee and Eugene (Moosa Mostafa) is a young, bee-loving student who reminds Wednesday of her brother, Pugsley. Nevermore boasts a variety of nutty characters, serving as a haven for anyone different or harboring special abilities, including vampires, werewolves, gorgons, and sirens. It makes complete sense, then, that Tim Burton-master of all things macabre-would attach his name to Netflix’s new series dedicated to this goth icon.Ĭreated by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, Wednesday is a supernatural horror-comedy series that answers one essential question: What does Wednesday Addams look like as a teenager? After getting expelled from public school for releasing piranhas in the pool, a 16-year-old Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) is shipped off to Nevermore Academy, a preppy boarding school for Outcasts. Perhaps the most compelling of them all is little Wednesday Addams, the sinister child of woe most recognized by her classic braids, dry wit, and disturbing love for violence. The dark and kooky nature of family members Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, and Pugsley have long provided a more eccentric form of entertainment, yet they remain timeless within the public sphere.

Ever since their 1938 debut in The New Yorker, the Addams Family have long been considered a pop culture staple as they’ve cemented their presence in all sorts of comics, animated television shows, and full-length feature films.
