Netflix has debuted the first full trailer for Tim Burton’s upcoming Addams Family series, Wednesday. The series which stars Jenna Ortega as the titular Wednesday, is set to explore the character in a whole new light as she attends Nevermore Acamdey, the school where her famous parents first met.
A new synopsis for the series reads: Wednesday is a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting 16-year-old Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy. Season One will follow Wednesday as she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the murder mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships at Nevermore.
