She’s delightfully eerie, uniquely quirky, and she’s set to reappear on our screens soon.

Jenna Ortega captivated and intrigued audiences during the debut season of the Netflix hit series, which launched in 2022. Indeed, it has been almost three years since Jenna, alongside Christina Ricci, Fred Armisen, Luis Gúzman, and Catherine Zeta-Jones, revived the iconic Addams family for a new generation of fans.

With the highly anticipated release of season two arriving on Wednesday, August 6, it’s perfectly natural to find yourself pondering, “What exactly transpired in season one?”

Don’t worry; the official recap is here to assist you: This is everything you must know before we head back to the enchanting yet eerie Nevermore Academy, a school tailored for “outcasts.”

Let’s set the stage. Wednesday arrives at Nevermore—her parents, Morticia and Gomez’s illustrious alma mater—dragging her heels, yet her pride prevents her from throwing a tantrum. Although it takes a bit of time for her to embrace the peculiar traditions, her werewolf roommate, Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers), and her fellow beekeeper, Eugene Ottinger (Moosa Mostafa), gradually coax her out of her shell, albeit reluctantly.

Moreover, the atmosphere feels less oppressive as she engages in conversations with the charming local barista and “normie” Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doonan).
