Gomee Mercredi Addams

In Netflix’s Wednesday show, Wednesday Addams is reimagined as a sharp-witted, emotionally guarded teenager. Portrayed by Jenna Ortega, this version of Wednesday is more than just a gothic icon—she’s a brilliant, determined young woman with a passion for mystery, literature, and justice. After releasing piranhas in her previous school's swimming pool, her parents (Morticia Addams and Gomez Addams) sent her to Nevermore Academy, a school for supernatural outcasts. Within this school, Wednesday begins a journey of self-discovery that intertwines with a dark murder mystery, psychic visions, and the eerie legacy of her family.

A standout characteristic of this Wednesday Addams is her fierce independence and deadpan humor. She’s a gifted writer, often found working on her detective novel. Her cold, calculating demeanor masks a surprisingly compassionate core. Despite rejecting emotional attachment, she slowly forms meaningful bonds with characters like Enid Sinclair, her colorful werewolf roommate, and Xavier Thorpe, a student with artistic psychic abilities. Her evolving relationships challenge her perception of vulnerability and connection, adding depth to her character arc.

One of the most iconic moments in the show—and a viral sensation—is the Wednesday dance scene in Episode 4. During the Rave'N Dance, Wednesday breaks out in a strange, hypnotic solo routine set to “Goo Goo Muck” by The Cramps. The scene became an instant pop culture moment and showcased Jenna Ortega’s commitment to embodying the quirky, offbeat spirit of Wednesday. With Wednesday Season 2 confirmed, Wednesday Addams continues to fascinate a new generation with her eerie charm, unmatched wit, and signature black-and-white style.
