Netflix and Tim Burton’s Wednesday Addams series is coming soon — but it’s missing Halloween. Yes, we’re going to learn more about the iconic young goth, as Wednesday is coming to Netflix — and in a new live-action series.
The series was revealed on Wednesday (of course), Feb. 17. It’s simply titled Wednesday, and will be produced with MGM and UA. While it will definitely have spooky (as well as creepy and kooky) elements, the announcement marked it as a “coming-of-age comedy.” So do not expect the young Ms. Addams to lose her sarcastic tone.
Wednesday release date
Wednesday hits Netflix on November 23. We’re going to see more at Tudum, so keep an eye out on our Netflix Tudum live blog.

Tim Burton’s Wednesday Addams story
We know a surprising lot about what Wednesday is about to face. In the announcement, we learned that the eight-episode run ordered by Netflix will see her going to school while dealing with “her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago.”
