Wednesday is coming soon! A new TV series based on the classic Addams Family (Tim Burton will direct!) will hit Netflix anytime soon? In this post, we’ll take a look at everything you need to know about Wednesday including her backstory, casting, and the show’s plot.
Plot Summary of “Wednesday”
Wednesday Addams misadventures as a student at Nevermore Academy: a very unique boarding school snuggled in deepest New England.
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.
In order to make Tim burton’s new TV show Wednesday a success, Netflix needs cast actors that can embody the dark humor and subtle quirkiness of both Tim Burton and his signature creations. “I’m happy to report that they’ve found their perfect match in actress Emma Roberts (granddaughter of Julia).”
Wednesday will be Netflix’s first family fantasy series directed by Tim Burton. It is set at an unusual boarding school called Nevermore Academy where kids study magic spells. The person who portrays Wednesday Addams must have some familiarity with the source material because she has got all these crazy powers so it would not work if you were just doing her as someone else without understanding how she moves through life.”

Release Date of “Wednesday”
All we can do at this stage is speculate when Wednesday will be coming to Netflix as it is far too early for any official release date to be announced.
At the earliest, we could potentially see Wednesday arrive in the Fall of 2022. A Halloween-themed release would be very apt given the character of Wednesday Addams, but it’s still a stretch. However, it’s more likely we’ll see the series land in late 2022 or early 2023.
