Wednesday is an American coming-of-age supernatural humorous horror television series based on the character Wednesday Addams from The Addams Family. In this movie, which Alfred Gough and Miles Millar co-wrote, Jenna Ortega plays the lead. Supporting actors include Christina Ricci, Luis Guzman, Isaac Ordonez, Gwendoline Christie, Riki Lindhome, Jamie McShane, Fred Armisen, and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Tim Burton, who also acts as executive producer, directed four of the eight episodes. The titular main character works to solve a terrifying secret at her school.

Burton previously worked on two Addams Family-related projects: a stopped-motion animated picture and the 1991 movie he passed on. In October 2020, he claimed he was in charge of a television program. Netflix later added more seasons to the program. The filming took place in Romania from September 2021 to March 2022. Critics gave Wednesday largely favourable reviews after its November 16, 2022, premiere and November 23, 2022, distribution on Netflix. They complimented Ortega’s performance but noted certain parallels to CW dramas. It rose to the third-most watched English-language Netflix series within two weeks of its debut.

She searches for a pattern and discovers that every victim has had bodily parts surgically removed. Wednesday develops misgivings about Xavier and follows him inside his studio, where she finds various depictions of the creature that direct her there. She takes one of its claws from there and gives it to Sheriff Galpin so he can compare its DNA with it. Tyler and Wednesday go to a local dance together. Eugene, a classmate who knows about Wednesday’s investigation, sees a cloaked man blowing up the monster’s lair. Mayor Walker’s son Lucas interrupts the dance by activating the building’s fire sprinklers as payback for Wednesday’s disruption of the municipal ceremony.
