Wednesday, Addams is on the verge of gaining a new member of the family. Jenna Ortega takes on the role of the main character, and it has just been disclosed that she will be accompanied by her distant predecessor Goody Addams.
Goody resided in 1620s Jericho, where she was bestowed with the same eerie psychic abilities Wednesday must master.
Glimpses of Goody will guide Wednesday to Nevermore Academy, a mysterious supernatural institution on the outskirts of Jericho – and acquaint her with the array of adversaries both Goody and Wednesday face.
The joining of forces with her predecessor this autumn guarantees to be an exhilarating journey for Wednesday Addams!
While Goody may have succeeded in imprisoning Joseph Crackstone, Grim Wednesday has exposed a malevolent scheme that jeopardizes to release the notorious pilgrim from his hidden crypt.
The Addams family-style otherworldly suspense has been a primary attribute of Wednesday since its inception and is what makes it so exceptional.
Co-creator Miles Millar underscores this fact, pointing out that ‘it couldn’t just be a real world story’, and with such high stakes on the horizon viewers can expect an even more gripping series when Wednesday returns next season.
Wednesday’s recently discovered powers make each day of the week extraordinary, but especially Wednesday.
During her escapades, Wednesday unearths sinister secrets from her parents’ past, and then unravels the true identity of a series of mysterious murders that sow terror in Jericho.
Her abilities enable her to make a startling revelation – Tyler, the charming Jericho barista and object of Wednesday’s infatuation, is actually a dangerous Hyde.
The unexpected revelation takes place at an especially awkward moment – Tyler and Wednesday’s first kiss.
Through it all, Wednesday learns to embrace her unique talents, which often prove advantageous when she needs help deciphering a conundrum or exposing the truth.
Tyler had the perfect plan to have Wednesday expelled from Nevermore Academy – it was his ticket out of this family’s curse of misfortune.
Little did Tyler know he was part of a broader conspiracy; one spearheaded by none other than his teacher, Marilyn Thornhill.
Or as she was genuinely known, Laurel Gates – a member of the despised and bigoted Gates family.
It turns out her genuine motive all along was darker than initially suspected, as Laurel is descendant of Joseph Crackstone and intends to utilize the Addams’ blood to resurrect him.
With Crackstone’s assistance, they aim to set fire to Nevermore in a heinous act of reprisal against Wednesday’s parents.
The plot might be successful if not for Wednesday’s detective work that brought to light this entire sordid affair.
Wednesday and Goody demonstrated to be a formidable pair against the forces of evil, with Goody ultimately reviving Wednesday from near-death and Wednesday striking down the zombified pilgrim.
Although they prevailed, Goody’s powers were limited, and she could not sustain them beyond their triumph.
At the culmination of their mission, Wednesday is seen by herself, indicating it was never about one person alone triumphing – it was about their combined strengths that led them to success.
A testament to perseverance, camaraderie and the potency of believing in something grander than oneself.
Wednesday’s tale has drawn to a close with the Crackstone case, but this isn’t necessarily the conclusion of Wednesday’s escapades.
Another lurking threat is introduced in the ultimate episode, through a mysterious stalker who sends her ominous text messages, implying that she will soon confront another foe. As Monday Millar expounds,
this suggests that threats still persist out there for Wednesday and everyone at the school, because that is just how high school sometimes is. The possibilities are boundless for what perils Wednesday will confront in her future endeavors.
