Netflix shares a new look at Wednesday's cool school Nevermore Academy
The new spin on the Addams Family launches later this month
Ahead of Wednesday’s launch later this month, Netflix has shared a new look at the show’s primary location, Nevermore Academy. Presented by Tim Burton, the eight-episode series expands the world of the Addams Family by following its titular character to boarding school, where a haunting mystery begins to unfold.
“Wednesday, to me, is the classic outsider,” Burton says in the behind-the-scenes featurette. “Part of the fun of the show was to create a school for outsiders, and Nevermore just really fit into the Addams Family world.”
Though Wednesday has previously attended eight other schools, ending up at the Nevermore Academy was inevitable–her parents Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Gomez (Luis Guzmán) are graduates.
“We definitely wanted to have the vibe of a kind of Gothic, interesting place in the DNA of the Addams family,” says showrunner and executive producer Alfred Gough.
