Wednesday Addams (of Addams Family fame) must go to Nevermore Academy, her parents alma mater, against her will. Once enrolled, though, everyone’s favorite spooky, morose goth girl finds herself trying to stop a killing spree that may have connections to her family past. And, even worse for Wednesday, she might need to, ugh, make friends.

Jenna Ortega stars as Wednesday, with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán playing  Morticia and Gomez, respectively. Isaac Ordonez, Gwendoline Christie, Riki Lindhome, Jamie McShane, and Fred Armisen also star, as does Christina Ricci, who played Wednesday in the beloved ‘90s movies.
