*Wednesday* is a supernatural mystery series that combines gothic horror with biting dark humor, inspired by the iconic Wednesday Addams from *The Addams Family*. Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, the series stars Jenna Ortega, along with an impressive cast that includes Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis GuzmƔn, Isaac Ordonez, Gwendoline Christie, Riki Lindhome, Jamie McShane, Fred Armisen, and Christina Ricci.
Tim Burton directed four of the eight episodes of the first season and served as executive producer. The story follows Wednesday as she uncovers a series of mysterious events involving monsters, murders, and long-hidden secrets at the eerie Nevermore Academy. Burton had already been linked to *The Addams Family* universe, after declining to direct the 1991 film and postponing plans for a stop-motion adaptation. It wasn't until October 2020 that his involvement in this Netflix series was officially announced.
Filmed in Romania between September 2021 and March 2022, *Wednesday* premiered on November 23, 2022, and was widely acclaimed, particularly for Ortega's outstanding performance. Within two weeks, the series became Netflix's third most-watched English-language series in history. The second season promises to delve deeper into the shadows with returning faces and new mysteries awaiting Wednesday Addams.
