The series tells about a young Wednesday Addams as she investigates the murders at her new school, Nevermore Academy, as she struggles to understand the connection between the mysteries surrounding the city of Jericho, her family, and the monster that has appeared there. In the process, she also manages to make new friends and break a couple of boyish hearts.

Although “Wednesday” does not belong to any particular genre and contains elements of horror, supernatural mysticism and comedy, it has a distinct, modern and unique style that captivates many viewers. As a spin-off of one of the brightest and most quintessential horror films of the 90s, The Addams Family, the series does not remain in the shadows but becomes one of the most popular and unique series on Netflix.

Wednesday's popular dance scene brings a lot of recognition to the remix of Lady Gaga's "Bloody Mary" and the Cramps' own "Goo Goo Muck" soundtrack. With the latter, there are currently over 125,000 TikTok videos and clips.
