Everything We Learned from the 'Wednesday' Netflix Trailer

Basically, the premise of this series begins with Wednesday Addams getting (presumably) kicked out of her old high school for releasing a slew of piranhas in the school's pool as a way to get back at a bunch of jerky water polo players. Her parents, Morticia and Gomez Addams, have a good feeling about this next school she's heading off to, which they themselves attended back in the day: Evermore Academy.

There, it looks like she's able to (somewhat) blend in more with her peers, becoming involved with fencing, playing the cello, getting a handle on her psychic powers, and you know, killing massive spiders. However, that idyllic life soon becomes what she describes as a "nightmare" as she's thrown into the midst of a local murder mystery case.

Directed by Tim Burton, Wednesday will be quite the genre-bender, combining comedy, mystery, and horror all into one series. With Wednesday's dark antics, she can't seem to find the right school to fit into, but in this show, we focus on her time at Nevermore Academy, where she finally feels a little more at home.

Things get pretty complicated, though, as she begins investigating a string of murders that have recently gone down in her town, and that's already on top of the everyday growing pains of being a new student. At the same time, Wednesday decides to dive into her parents' past, going back 25 years to try and figure out a mystery revolving around them.
