When to Watch Wednesday
Netflix set the Wednesday release date at 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT on Wednesday, November 23. The streaming service will release all eight installments at once. The show is a coming-of-age comedy that will be a sleuthing, supernaturally-infused mystery. The live-action series will be led by Jenna Ortega (Yes Day) in her first major TV project as the titular lead, along with Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams, Victor Dorobantu as Thing, as well as Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams, Fred Armisen as Fester, and George Burcea as Lurch. The cast also includes Hunter Doohan, Georgie Farmer, Moosa Mostafa, Emmy Myers, Naomi J. Ogawa, Joy Sunday, Percy Hynes White, Gwendoline Christie, Riki Lindhome, and Jamie McShane.
Golden Globe and Emmy nominee Christina Ricci is also set to appear as an entirely new character. Ricci famously portrayed Wednesday Addams in the early 90s.
“The series will chart the titular heroine’s years as a student at the peculiar Nevermore Academy as she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability,” reads the synopsis, “While also thwarting a monstrous killing spree terrorizing the local town and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships of the strange and diverse student body.”

Academy Awards nominated director Burton (Beetlejuice, Corpse Bride) executive produced and directed Wednesday. The acclaimed filmmaker should have written and produced an animated Addams Family film for Illumination Entertainment. However, the project would eventually turn into 2019’s Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan-directed The Addams Family.
