And more particularly on the misadventures of the eldest girl of the siblings, brilliantly embodied by Jenna Ortega.
In 2022, the actress had dazzled the public thanks to her impeccable game, her impassive face and her iconic dance steps. Fiction had thus become one of the most popular series on Netflix. But it’s been three years already and since then, perhaps you have forgotten the main elements of the intrigue of season 1 (we don’t blame you).

Psychic visions, monstrous hyde and terrible crackstone
We got to know Wednesday when he arrived at Nevermore Academy, an extraordinary children’s school, after returning from a college for having slipped piranhas into a swimming pool to avenge his little brother Pugsley. Upon arrival in the establishment, the young girl with sinister thoughts must adapt to this new environment, to meet her comrades, including the one who shares her room, Enid (Emma Myers), a colorful colored wolf-the height of bad taste for the dark Wednesday-.
Very quickly, the daily life of students was upset by a series of attacks and murders in the city near the school, Jericho. Detective in the soul and helped by his psychic visions (a gift shared by the women of his family) on Wednesday is looking for the killer. She suspects the young Xavier (Percy Hynes White), then Tyler (Hunter Doohan), the sheriff’s son, or Doctor Kinbott (Riki Lindhome), his therapist.
Thanks to Uncle Fétide, Wednesday discovers that the monster is a hyde, a creature that can show incredible violence when it is manipulated by a master. A mistress, in this case. Because the one who draws the strings from this bloody plan is the professor of Botanique Marilyn Thornhill (Christina Ricci), or rather Laurel Gates of her real name, the descendant of Joseph Crackstone, a children’s persecutor with supernatural powers.
At the very end of the season, Wednesday wiped out crackste, resurrected from the dead. Her friends Eugene and Enid neutralize Professor Thornhill who has the school director, Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie) among her victims. As for Tyler, it is arrested just after being transformed into a hyde again. Is everything that ends well? Almost. While Wednesday leaves Nevermore, she receives very personal threats on her phone …
