Wednesday premiered on Netflix and 2023 and took the world by storm. This Tim Burton story, a spinoff of the Addams family story, became a rage for its gothic tale of trust, betrayal, and a lead who loves all things dark. The light comic elements, paired with a good dose of emotional touch created a somewhat balanced experience.
The first season of Wednesday introduced us to the core members of the Addams family, namely, Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, and Pugsley. After a string of rustication from schools for seemingly violent and unconventional behaviour, Wednesday joins the Nevermore Academy, her parents’ alma mater. There, she comes face to face with her identity and heritage as an Addams family member. From befriending the colourful and bubbly werewolf Enid to finding herself attracted to Tyler, Wednesday goes on a journey of serious pranks and self-discovery as she discovers her psychic abilities.
An Overview of Season 1
In the finale of season one, Wednesday finds out that Tyler is the Hyde, a creature who has been terrorising Nevermore Academy. He is taken away, but he eventually escapes. The trouble for Wednesday is not over as Hyde’s master is also waiting to attack soon. Marilyn Thornhill, aka Laurel Gates, was a mastermind behind unleashing Tyler’s Hyde capabilities. She does so out of revenge,
Tyler’s Hyde capabilities come from his mother, Francoise. She was Morticia’s classmate, but it wasn’t until she gave birth to Tyler that her Hyde capabilities got activated. Her demise and her monster form were kept a secret from Tyler. Finding out the truth made Tyler launch on a dangerous path of discovery and destruction.
As to what awaits for Wednesday season 2, we know from the trailer that Jenna Ortega as Wednesday returns to the Nevermore Academy. She faces new dangers and a few old ones as she forges ahead on the spooky, spooky road.
