Synopsis of Wednesday (2022)
The Wednesday series tells the story of Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), the eldest child of the Addams family, who has supernatural abilities and a quirky gothic style appearance.

Wednesday likes to wear clothes and makeup with a predominantly black theme and is also fond of sarcastic remarks about everything.
Because of her abilities and eccentric appearance, Wednesday is often considered strange.
The strange habits of the Addams family in raising children make Wednesday so uncomfortable with the violent torture method.

Until one day, Wednesday found her younger brother, Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez), being harassed by members of the swim club. Not accepting the treatment of the swim club members, Wednesday then took revenge.

When the swim club members were practicing in the pool, Wednesday released two plastic bags full of piranhas.
Because of this, Wednesday was expelled from school. However, instead of being sad, Wednesday's parents welcomed her with joy.

It turns out that Wednesday's expulsion allowed her parents to send her to Nevermore Academy.

Nevermore Academy is a school where Wednesday's parents learned when they were young. The school is also a school for people with supernatural powers who are marginalized from society, or known as outcasts.

Although at first Wednesday often rebelled and disliked Nevermore Academy, she gradually adapted to the environment there.

Until one day, Wednesday saw a murder committed by a mysterious monster.
Wednesday was interested in the case and conducted her own investigation. However, unexpectedly, the investigation led Wednesday to a mystery that involved the outcasts and her own family's history.
