Netflix’s hit TV show, Wednesday, may be a spinoff of the Addams Family franchise, but the actual family only makes minor appearances, leaving many to wonder what makes this series so different. Released in 2022, Wednesday is a notably star-studded affair, directed by Tim Burton and featuring beloved actors like Catherine Zeta-Jones, Christina Ricci, Gwendoline Christie, and Jenna Ortega. While this cast and crew almost certainly piqued the interest of viewers, the show also lured in audiences with its premise: a teenage Wednesday Addams is forced to attend a boarding school for outcasts where a deadly mystery is afoot.
