The YOU actor Jenna Ortega plays the title character in Tim Burton’s film Wednesday, which also stars Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán as Wednesday’s famous parents, Gomez and Morticia Addams.
Gwendoline Christie and Christina Ricci, who played the lead in the movie version, are two more well-known performers. The legendary figure from The Addams Family will be revealed in a completely new way in the eight-part comedy-drama series.
So, here’s all the information you need about Wednesday on Netflix.
What is the plot of Tim Burtons Wednesday Series on Netflix?
Misadventures of Wednesday Addams while a student at Nevermore Academy, a rather unusual boarding school tucked away in the heart of New England.
Wednesday strives to control her burgeoning psychic ability, stop a horrifying killing spree that has ravaged the neighborhood, and unravel the supernatural mystery that entangled her parents 25 years ago while navigating her new and incredibly complicated ties at Nevermore.
Willa nicknamed Wednesday Adams is starting a new chapter in her life at the academy, the two-century-old boarding school that her parents attended after being expelled from eight institutions in five years. Willa, though, is already making plans to leave their alma institution because she doesn’t want anything to do with it.
However, unlike any other school, she has ever attended, this academy is unique. The Fangs (vampires), the Furs (werewolves), the Scales (sirens), and the Stoners are the school’s four main cliques. Additionally, it’s a piece of the puzzle that reveals murky information about her family’s background.

Luis Guzmán and Catherine Zeta-Jones
Gomez Addams, Wednesday’s father, is portrayed by Luis Guzmán. The movies Traffic, Code Black, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, and How to Make It in America are where Luis is best recognized for his roles.
Morticia Addams, Wednesday’s mother, is portrayed by Catherine Zeta-Jones. Catherine, who is married to Hollywood actor Michael Douglas, first rose to fame in the British television series The Darling Buds of May before moving on to star in films including The Mask of Zorro, Entrapment, and Chicago, for which she received an Academy Award in 2002.
Additionally, we’re hoping that super-shaggy Cousin Itt will show up. Of course, as more casting information becomes available, we’ll update.
Who else is starring?
Other Wednesday stars include Gwendoline Christie, who plays Larissa Weems, the principal of the supernatural school Nevermore Academy who has a long-standing hatred against her former classmate Morticia Addams. Christie also played Brienne of Tarth in Game of Thrones (Catherine Zeta-Jones).
In addition to Victor Dorobantu as the infamously hairy and bespectacled Thing and George Burcea as the too-tall servant Lurch, Isaac Ordonez can be seen as Wednesday’s brother Pugsley Addams.
Tamara Novak was played by Thora Birch from The Walking Dead, however, she departed the series for personal reasons. Deadline has confirmed that Wednesday Addams actress Christina Ricci has been cast in a role; however, it is still unknown whether she will truly take Thora’s place as Tamara or if she will play a mysterious new character.
Wednesday’s “dorm mother” is Tamara, a faculty member at Nevermore Academy who specializes in botanical courses.
Jamie McShane, the star of Mank, plays Sheriff Donovan Galpin, who has long harbored a grudge against Gomez Addams, a former student at Nevermore Academy, and who has a problem with the school.
The Sheriff’s son Tyler Galpin, a local who becomes close friends with Wednesday Addams, is portrayed by Hunter Doohan of Your Honor fame. Tyler and his father have a rocky relationship.
Riki Lindhome portrays Dr. Valerie Kinbott, a local therapist in Jericho (Knives Out). She shows a particular interest in Wednesday Addams, her newest patient.
Bianca Barclay, a well-liked student at Nevermore Academy who hails from a long line of Sirens with a compelling ability to convince, is portrayed by Joy Sunday (Dear White People) in the film. Percy Hynes White (The Gifted) portrays Xavier Thorpe, a charming and supernaturally talented student who hails from a prosperous family as a result of his famous psychic father.
Ajax Petropolis, a timid and awkward Nevermore Academy student who is also a Gorgon, is played by Georgie Farmer (Treadstone). He has a lot of anxiety while meeting someone’s eyes.
Nativity Rocks! actor Moosa Mostafa portrays the eccentric student Eugene Ottinger, president of the school’s beekeeping club. Enid Sinclair, Wednesday’s Californian roommate at Nevermore Academy who is descended from a pack of San Francisco Werewolves, is portrayed by Emma Myers (Girl in the Basement).
One of the cool girls of Nevermore Academy, vampire Yoko Tanaka, is played by Naomi J. Ogawa (Skylin3s).
As Mayor Walker, Iman Marson plays Lucas Walker, William Houston plays Joseph Crackstone, Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo plays Deputy Santiago, Oliver Watson plays Kent, Calum Ross plays Ryan, and Johnna Dias Watson plays Johnna (Divina).
Is there a Wednesday trailer yet?
Yes, Netflix has now published a full-length trailer for the next film, which opens with Wednesday being dubbed a freak by the water polo team at Nancy Reagan High School (complete with the late former First Lady’s statue). She immediately starts a piranha attack in the pool, though! When she is expelled, her parents Morticia and Gomez send her to the Nevermore Academy.
Jenna Ortega made her debut as Wednesday Addams in the official teaser trailer. The infamous Addams youngster, the family’s reliable friend Thing, and a living severed hand are all shown to us. Check out the teaser below.
Director Tim Burton
This is the filmmaker Tim Burton’s debut television project, despite the fact that he is well-known for his work in the film industry. He has directed Batman (1989), Edward Scissorhands (1990), The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), Corpse Bride (2005), and Alice Through the Looking Glass in 2016, thus he is more than capable of handling grim material.
In addition, he is responsible for the films Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sleepy Hollow, and Beetlejuice, starring Johnny Depp.
Conclusion – Is Wednesday a Limited Series?
It’s currently unknown if Wednesday will only be available on Netflix for one season. We have no doubts that Tim Burtons Wednesday Series on Netflix will be a huge hit with viewers and that it will rank among the most watched Netflix Originals since The Umbrella Academy, Stranger Things, and The Witcher.
Tim Burton, the series showrunner, director, and executive producer, is likely to have a major say in the decision to make a second season.
