1 ‘Wednesday’ (2022–Present)
Rotten Tomatoes: 80% | IMDb: 8.0/10
Last week, we learned that production on the third season of one of Netflix’s most exciting shows had officially come to an end. The show in question was Wednesday, and in anticipation of the third season, as well as marking the perfect way to celebrate the start of spooky season, now is the best time to binge-watch all episodes in the first two seasons of Jenna Ortega‘s career-defining series.
Everyone’s favorite nihilistic teen with psychic powers, Wednesday Addams’ move to Nevermore Academy after an incident with her brother sets the wheels in motion for a murder mystery, small-town paranoia, and an unlikely friendship with her happy-go-lucky roommate, Enid (Emma Myers). With Season 1 boasting a superb ensemble and gripping narrative, and Season 2 introducing the one-and-only Lady Gaga to the cast, Wednesday is not to be missed this October.
