About Wednesday

Wednesday reimagines the iconic Addams Family character for a new generation. Directed by Tim Burton, the series follows Wednesday Addams as she's enrolled at Nevermore Academy, a school for supernatural outcasts. Jenna Ortega's portrayal of Wednesday—deadpan, brilliant, and ruthlessly honest—became a cultural phenomenon. Her dance scene went viral, and her refusal to smile became iconic. The show blends mystery, dark comedy, and supernatural elements with Wednesday's signature gothic charm. Beyond the murder mystery, the show explores themes of belonging, identity, and what it means to be different. Wednesday may hate hugs, but her journey to accepting connections makes for surprisingly heartfelt television.
