This series is a unique offshoot of the classic Addams Family focusing on Wednesday Addams as the protagonist. Here we find her reluctantly attending Nevermore Academy, a school catering to "Outcasts" which are creatures like werewolves, vampires, hydra, sirens and whatever the Addams Family are.
As one half mystery, one half coming of age school drama, this kooky and spooky series showcases lead Jenna Ortega's incredible performance as Wednesday Addams. Her on-screen foil and best friend Enid (Emma Myers) is bright to Wednesday's dark, and their chemistry is a highlight of the series. Of course the rest of the family shows up with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Lois Guzmán starring as Morticia and Gomez Addams. This series is also driven by the creative genius Tim Burton (Beetlejuice, Batman, Edward Scissorhands), whose fingerprints can be seen in every frame.
