Wednesday is the latest live-action adaptation of The Addams Family franchise coming to Netflix on November 23, 2022. As the director, Tim Burton wanted to make sure that this new series would not be mistaken for a remake or a reboot, but a spinoff that focuses on an entirely new chapter of Wednesday’s life as she grows into adulthood. The main members of the Addams Family are all well-known and beloved, based on the original characters by Charles Addams. However, this version of Wednesday is much older than when we last saw her as portrayed by Christina Ricci. Now that Wednesday is of high school age, there are bound to be new faces in her life, both friends and foes. Watch the official trailer below if you haven’t seen it yet!
After bouncing from school to school due to multiple expulsions, Morticia and Gomez decide to enroll Wednesday at The Nevermore Academy, where they met and fell in love. In addition to acclimating to a new environment and navigating new relationships, Wednesday also stumbles upon a dark secret that goes back generations in her family. A mystery involving “serial killers, murders and monsters,” as Wednesday actress Jenna Ortega says in the “Inside the Character” video from Netflix.
