By Aarush Sharma On May 17, 2022

Wednesday Release Date: Wednesday is a new Netflix Original family fantasy series directed by Tim Burton. Netflix won the bidding war for the show, outbidding all other bidders and securing exclusive global distribution rights. Al Gough and Miles Millar are the series’ creators.

Wednesday‘s production studio, MGM TV, has already been revealed, with Burton serving as an executive producer in addition to his directing duties. On the Original, Burton is joined by fellow producers Jon Glickman, Andrew Mittman, and Gail Berman.

Wednesday will be a milestone in Tim Burton’s career because it will be his first time directing a television show.

What Will be the Storyline of Wednesday?

In 2022, Netflix will release a slew of films, programs, and documentaries. Wednesday, a horror series based on Wednesday Addams, a character from the famed Addams Family, is one of the streamer’s planned initiatives.

Wednesday, like the rest of her terrifying family, was developed in the 1930s by cartoonist Charles Addams for drawings in The New Yorker.

The Addams Family has been translated into numerous media ventures throughout the years, notably the 1990s film franchise starring Christina Ricci as Wednesday. Wednesday was voiced by Chloe Grace Moretz in the 2019 animated film and its sequel. Christina has been cast in the film Wednesday.

Netflix has released the official loglines for the series

Wednesday Addams’ exploits at Nevermore Academy, a one-of-a-kind boarding school nestled in the heart of New England.

Wednesday tries to master her developing psychic gift, stop a monstrous killing spree terrorizing the local community, and uncover the otherworldly mystery that engulfed her parents 25 years ago — all while managing her new and convoluted connections at Nevermore.

A considerably more detailed summary for Wednesday has been released

Willa nicknamed Wednesday Adams is starting a new chapter of her life at the academy, her parents’ two-hundred-year-old boarding school, after being expelled out of eight institutions in five years.

Willa, on the other hand, has no desire to return to their alma mater and is already plotting her departure. However, this academy is unlike any other she’s ever attended. The Fangs (vampires), Furs (werewolves), Scales (sirens), and Stoners are four prominent cliques at the school of outcasts. It’s also a piece of the puzzle that reveals horrible mysteries about her family’s history.

Who Are Cast Members of Wednesday?

Wednesday Addams’ involvement has now been disclosed. Jenna Ortega, who Netflix subscribers should remember, takes on the legendary role.

The 18-year-old actress is most recognized for her appearances as Ellie Alves in Netflix’s You and Katie in the Netflix film Yes Day. Jenna announced the news on Instagram, writing: “New chapter. I hope I can do justice to Wednesday Addams. *two snaps*”

Jenna now follows in the footsteps of Christina Ricci, who played Wednesday in the animated film Wednesday, and Chloe Grace Moretz, who voiced Wednesday in the 2019 feature.

What About Wednesday Development Set-up?

Wednesday was first revealed as an undisclosed The Addams Family project under Tim Burton in October 2020. Netflix handed the project a series order of eight episodes in February 2021 after the showrunners and executive producers joined the team.

Filming began in Bucharest, Romania, in September of that year. It’ll be finished in February 2022.

Netflix has kept the narrative of Wednesday under wraps. According to Deadline, the show is a “coming-of-age comedy” with “a sleuthing, supernaturally tinged mystery” that follows Wednesday during her high school years at Nevermore Academy.

“Wednesday‘s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that engulfed her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships at Nevermore,” according to the show’s official longline, which was previously released by Netflix.

Wednesday Release Date

We can only assume when Wednesday will be available on Netflix at this time because no official release date has been published.

Wednesday is expected to come in the Fall of 2022 at the earliest. Given the nature of Wednesday Addams, a Halloween-themed release might be appropriate, but it’s still a leap. However, the series is more likely to premiere in December 2022.

Conclusion

Wednesday will air on Netflix in 2022 and will consist of eight episodes.

Wednesday is an anticipated American horror comedy television series based on The Addams Family’s character Wednesday Addams. The series is planned to air on Netflix and is produced by MGM Television.

Wednesday Addams will star in the series, which will focus on her years as a high school student at Nevermore Academy, where she tries to master her psychic abilities, stop a monstrous killing spree of town residents, and solve the supernatural mystery that affected her family 25 years ago — all while navigating her new relationships.
