Wednesday, Addams is about to get a new family member. Jenna Ortega stars as the title character, and it has just been revealed that she will be joined by her distant ancestor Goody Addams.

Goody lived in 1620s Jericho, where she was endowed with the same spooky psychic powers Wednesday must learn to control. 

Visions of Goody will lead Wednesday to Nevermore Academy, a mysterious supernatural school on the outskirts of Jericho – and introduce her to the host of enemies both Goody and Wednesday have. 

It promises to be an exciting journey when Wednesday Addams joins forces with her ancestor this fall!

While Goody may have succeeded in locking away Joseph Crackstone, Grim Wednesday has revealed a sinister plot that threatens to unleash the notorious pilgrim from his secret crypt. 

The Addams family-style supernatural suspense has been a key characteristic of Wednesday since its conception and is what makes it so extraordinary. 

Co-creator Miles Millar emphasizes this point, noting that ‘it couldn’t just be a real world story’, and with such stakes on the horizon viewers can expect an even more thrilling series when Wednesday returns next season.

Wednesday’s newly discovered abilities make each day of the week extraordinary, but particularly Wednesday. 

During her adventures, Wednesday discovers dark secrets from her parents’ past, and then discovers the true identity of a string of mysterious murders that instill terror in Jericho. 

Her powers enable her to come to a shocking realization – Tyler, the cute Jericho barista and object of Wednesday’s crush, is actually a dangerous Hyde. 

The surprise unveiling occurs at an especially awkward moment – Tyler and Wednesday’s first kiss. 

Through it all, Wednesday learns to embrace her unique gifts, which often prove advantageous when she needs help solving a puzzle or uncovering the truth.

Tyler had the perfect plan to get Wednesday expelled from Nevermore Academy – it was his ticket out of this family’s curse of bad luck. 

Little did Tyler know he was part of a larger conspiracy; one headed by none other than his teacher, Marilyn Thornhill. 

Or as she was truly known, Laurel Gates – a member of the despised and bigoted Gates family. 

It turns out her true motive all along was darker than initially suspected, as Laurel is descendant of Joseph Crackstone and plans to use the Addams’ blood to resurrect him. 

With Crackstone’s help, they intend to burn down Nevermore in a heinous act of revenge against Wednesday’s parents. 

The ploy might succeed if not for Wednesday’s detective work that uncovered this entire sordid affair.

Wednesday and Goody proved to be a formidable pair against the forces of evil, with Goody ultimately reviving Wednesday from near-death and Wednesday striking down the zombified pilgrim. 

Though they triumphed, Goody’s powers were limited, and she could not sustain them beyond their victory. 

At the conclusion of their mission, Wednesday is seen on her own, indicating it was never about one person alone winning – it was about their strengths combined that led them to success. 

A testament to determination, friendship and the power of believing in something bigger than yourself.

Wednesday’s story has come to a close with the Crackstone case, but this isn’t necessarily the end of Wednesday’s adventures. 

Another looming threat is introduced in the final episode, through a mysterious stalker who sends her ominous text messages, suggesting that she will soon face another foe. As Monday Millar explains,

this indicates that threats still remain out there for Wednesday and everyone at the school, because that is just how high school sometimes is. The possibilities are endless for what dangers Wednesday will encounters in her future journeys.
