[ysabetwordsmith]

Wednesday Addams is the lead character in the recent television series Wednesday. It premiered on November 16, 2022 and has eight episodes, each about 45 minutes long. In this rendition, she is a teenager at Nevermore Academy near Jericho, Vermont. Although it is a school for Outcasts, she struggles to settle in there. The violent events don't make it any easier.
