Is Netflix’s Wednesday an Addams Family reboot, sequel, or spin-off? In between her court-mandated therapy sessions and working on her novel, she must try to solve the mystery of the people being killed in the local area. However, she soon gets drawn into both old family drama and the orbit of several handsome boys. She is resistant to going to Nevermore Academy, her mother’s alma mater, and is frustrated at feeling like she doesn’t fit in even in a school of outcasts, especially with her colorful, cheerful roommate. Wednesday is a kooky teenager kicked out of her old school for getting back at some students who bullied her brother. Wednesday’s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago - all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships at Nevermore.”
Yet the series tries to cram too many genres into its overstuffed narrative and falls into many of the pitfalls of modern TV.” What is Wednesday (2022) about?Īccording to Netflix, “The series is a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy. In his review for Ready Steady Cut, Adam Lock said, “ Wednesday is charming, cheeky and appropriately quirky throughout, paying homage to the original movies in many sweet ways. He has also collaborated with Ricci in the past, who notably played Wednesday Addams in the 1991 film, The Addams Family, directed by Barry Sonnefeld. He is associated with a sort of quirky spooky aesthetic that is a perfect fit for a show about Wednesday Addams.
Director Tim Burton is known for his gothic fantasy and horror films like Beetlejuice, Edward Scissor Hands, Sweeney Todd, and The Nightmare Before Christmas.
