Wednesday is a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting 16-year-old Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy. Season One will follow Wednesday as she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the murder mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago—all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships at Nevermore.Jenna Ortega plays the titular teen, while Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán play Morticia and Gomez. Rounding out the cast are Gwendoline Christie, Christina Ricci, Hunter Doohan, Percy Hynes White, Joy Sunday, Emma Myers, Riki Lindhome, Jamie McShane, Georgie Farmer, Naomi Ogawa, and Moosa Mostafa.

It’s always a good day when more Addams Family spooky fun is in the offing, and really, why shouldn’t that day be Wednesday?
Or about Wednesday, anyway.
Even better when it’s coming from the creepy and kooky hand of Tim Burton who has a brilliant record at looking at life from a hauntingly supernatural point of view, and bringing some big emotional moments to the fore as he does so.
With eight episodes to tantalise us, count on Wednesday, which rather happily features a previous Wednesday Addams actor, Chrstina Ricci among the cast, to add that certain trippy something to your streaming habits when it debuts sometime in 2022.
