INTRODUCTION - WEDNESDAY NETFLIX SERIES
Wednesday is Netflix’s wildly popular supernatural mystery‑comedy series that gives new life to the iconic Wednesday Addams. Starring the brilliantly deadpan Jenna Ortega, the show blends gothic humor, sharp wit, and suspense as Wednesday unravels a string of murders at Nevermore Academy, a school for outcasts and supernatural misfits. Her journey is equal parts investigation, self‑discovery, and darkly comedic disdain for anything resembling normal teenage behavior.
The series was created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, with Tim Burton not only serving as executive producer but also directing four episodes. His signature eerie‑whimsical style shapes the world of Nevermore, balancing mystery with macabre charm. Joining Ortega are Luis Guzmán and Catherine Zeta‑Jones as Gomez and Morticia Addams, while Christina Ricci—the original 1991 Wednesday—returns in a surprising new role, adding a nostalgic twist.
Since its debut in November 2022, the show became one of the most‑watched English‑language series on Netflix, earning Golden Globe nominations, multiple Primetime Emmy Awards, and global recognition for Ortega’s unforgettable performance. Its huge success secured renewals for Season 2, released in August 2025, followed by a second half in September, and later confirmed a Season 3 in July 2025.
At its core, Wednesday thrives because it captures the essence of its titular heroine: dark, clever, emotionally guarded, slightly murderous‑curious, yet impossible not to love. With a mix of gothic visuals, sharp storytelling, and just the right amount of humor, the series continues to enchant audiences—proving that the world really does prefer its comedy on the spooky side.

QUOTES FROM WEDNESDAY NETFLIX SERIES CHARACTERS
SEASON 1
EPISODE 1
I'm not sure whose twisted idea it was to put hundreds of adolescents in underfunded schools run by people whose dreams were crushed years ago but I admire the sadism.
Wednesday Addams
I'm not about to confess to my brother that I've recently been plagued by visions. They come on without warning, and feel like electroshock therapy, but without the satisfying afterburn.
Wednesday Addams
They haven't built one strong enough to hold me.
Wednesday Addams
You can save the sanitized sales pitch. - I don't plan on staying here for long.
Wednesday Addams
You're in black and white. - Like a living Instagram filter.
Ajax Petropolus
Gorgons spend way too much time getting stoned.
Enid Sinclair
I find social media to be a soul-sucking void of meaningless affirmation.
Wednesday Addams
Look at you, my little deathtrap. Seeing you in this uniform brings back so many terrible memories.
Gomez Addams
Dividing our room equally. It looks like a rainbow vomited on your side.
Wednesday Addams
I devote an hour a day to my novel. Perhaps if you did the same, your vlog might be coherent. I've read serial killer diaries with better punctuation.
Wednesday Addams
Uh, you mean, emojis? It's how people express their feelings. I realize that's a foreign concept to you.
Enid Sinclair
When I look at you, the following emojis come to mind. Rope, shovel, hole.
Wednesday Addams
She's been smothering me with hospitality. I hope to return the favor. In her sleep.
Wednesday Addams
Let's see if you bleed in black and white.
Bianca Barclay
So you were guided by latent chivalry, the tool of the patriarchy, to extract my undying gratitude?
Wednesday Addams
I think that this is a waste of time. I see the world as a place that must be endured, and my personal philosophy is kill or be killed.
Wednesday Addams
I've never found one that could handle me.
Wednesday Addams
It was snowing when I buried what was left of him. I cried my little black heart out. But tears don't fix anything. So I vowed to never do it again.
Wednesday Addams
Let's see. I narrowly avoided death twice, discovered that my father may be a murderer, learned that I could potentially destroy the school, and was mysteriously saved by a homicidal monster. As much as it pains me to admit, you were right, Mother. I think I'm going to love it here.
Wednesday Addams
EPISODE 2
This story is about to take a dark turn. Usually, I love dark turns. Like when the carousel brakes mysteriously failed at my eighth birthday party. But not this one.
Wednesday Addams
Dead people are notoriously bad at returning calls.
Emotions are a gateway trait. They lead to feelings, which trigger tears. I don't do tears.
Wednesday Addams
I like being an island. A well-fortified one surrounded by sharks.
Wednesday Addams
I refuse to play the role of a pawn in someone else's corrupt game.
Wednesday Addams
Which leads me to believe I've been losing my mind. It's not nearly as fun as I had anticipated.
Wednesday Addams
It's a hall pass for the imagination-impaired. But when your life becomes a twisted mystery maybe it's time to lean into it.
Wednesday Addams
The last person who tickled me lost a finger.
Wednesday Addams
I know I'm stubborn, single-minded and obsessive. But those are all traits of great writers. Yes. And serial killers.
Wednesday Addams
The most interesting plants grow in the shade.
Marilyn Thornhill
Trust me, Wednesday Addams is not the girl of your dreams. She's the stuff of your nightmares.
Bianca Barclay
Nevermore continues to be an enigma. A place where the questions far outweigh the answers. But sometimes the answer is staring you right in the face.
Wednesday Addams
Secret societies. Hidden libraries. My mother staring at me in a judgmental way. These are all things I've come to expect. But the minute I inch towards the truth Luckily, I'm not afraid of the dark.
Wednesday Addams
EPISODE 3
Let's assess, shall we? Bag over my head for optimal disorientation, wrists tied tight enough to cut off circulation, and no idea if I'm going to live or die. It's definitely my kind of party.
Wednesday Addams
And just like that, my hopes were dashed against the rocks of bitter disappointment. My foe was no psychotic killer. More like a bunch of high school clowns.
Wednesday Addams
We talk about not making waves? She's a tsunami.
Bianca Barclay
It's amateurs like you who give kidnapping a bad name.
Wednesday Addams
There were so many threads to my investigation, I could weave a burial shroud. I still have no idea how Rowan mysteriously rose from the dead. Or why that monster is prowling the woods. But right now, nothing intrigues me more than this book.
Wednesday Addams
Remember what happened the last time we did this dance?
Wednesday Addams
You remind me of my brother, sans the desire to strangle him every waking moment.
Wednesday Addams
My grandmother once told me secrets are like zombies they never truly die.
Wednesday Addams
They have more in common than you think. Most people are scared of them, so it would just be us them against the world.
Enid Sinclair
Would you rather I develop an obsession with horses and boy bands?
Wednesday Addams
My visions are about as predictable as shark attacks.
Wednesday Addams
When they happen, it feels like I'm touching live wire. I usually enjoy that sensation.
Wednesday Addams
I thought nothing scared me, but that was before I stared into the eyes of Joseph Crackstone. I don't believe in heaven or hell. But I do believe in revenge. I usually serve it warm with a side of pain, but I've never faced an adversary cast in bronze.
Wednesday Addams
I may not have hard evidence, but I see you. You're a trouble magnet.
