About Wednesday

Wednesday is an American supernatural mystery-comedy TV series created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, with creative direction from Tim Burton. The show premiered on Netflix on November 23, 2022. It follows the iconic character Wednesday Addams, played by Jenna Ortega, as she joins Nevermore Academy — a unique boarding school for outcasts. There, she explores her psychic abilities, investigates a series of mysterious killings, and unravels secrets connected to her family’s dark past.

The series became one of Netflix’s most-watched English-language originals within weeks of release, praised for its sharp writing, gothic visuals, and Ortega’s standout performance. Season 2 was confirmed soon after and released in two parts — Part 1 on August 6, 2025 and Part 2 on September 3, 2025. The new season expands the story’s world, introducing new characters, deeper mysteries, and a darker tone while continuing Wednesday’s personal evolution and her connection to Nevermore’s supernatural community.
