‘Wednesday' Season 1 Recap: Everything To Remember For Season 2
Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) got up to plenty of mischief and adventure in Season 1 of the eponymous Netflix series, created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. The coming-of-age series centering the young heroine as she carves out her own path amongst her Outcast peers at Nevermore Academy had plenty of mystery and investigation, none of which daunted her. Some might even say it was the social scene at school that haunted her more than a mysterious monster lurking in the woods, students keeping secrets from her and those very obviously and vocally out to get her. More from Deadline 'Wednesday' Season 2: Everything We Know About The Cast, Premiere Date & More 'Wednesday' Renewed For Season 3 By Netflix Matty Brown Talks 'The Sand Castle' As Migrant Drama Becomes Most Watched Arabic Language Title On Netflix In First Half Of 2025 For those needing a refresher about what happened in Wednesday Season 1 ahead of the arrival of Season 2 Part 1, below lies a recap of the most salient plot points. Wednesday Enrolled At Nevermore Academy At the start of the series, viewers watch Wednesday pour two bags of piranha in the Nancy Reagan High School swimming pool to send a message to one of the swimmers, Dalton, who bullied her younger brother Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez) by shutting him in a locker, tied up, with an apple in his mouth. This action gets her expelled from the 'Normie' high school. She's been to 8 schools in 5 years. Wednesday comes from a family of Outcasts, or people with special abilities that set them apart from regular humans. Wednesday's psychic ability had just begun to show at the beginning of Season 1. She inherits the visions from her mother, Morticia Addams (née Frump), played by Catherine Zeta-Jones. Morticia, Pugsley and her father Gomez (Luis Guzmán) accompanied Wednesday to Nevermore Academy, a school teeming with Outcasts in Jericho, Vermont. Morticia and Gomez met at Nevermore — founded in 1791, and Morticia roomed with Principal Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie). A condition of Wednesday starting mid-term at Nevermore was that she attend therapy sessions with Jericho's own Dr. Valerie Kinbott (Rikki Lindhome), but Wednesday is reluctant to participate. Her Roommate Enid Is Quite The Opposite In Personality and Décor Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers) is Wednesday's roommate at Nevermore, and Enid loves color. Wednesday is allergic to color, so she strips her half of the room, only decorating in black and white. Even her school uniform is black and white. Enid's bubbly personality clashes with Wednesday's keep-to-herself exterior, but slowly the two form a distinct bond that culminates in a heartfelt hug, which Wednesday resists until the Season 1 finale. Enid descends from werewolves, but she had not yet 'Wolfed Out,' meaning undergone the full transformation. The furthest she could get is sharpening her rainbow-manicured nails into sharp acrylic-like claws. Luckily Enid's ability came at just the right time later on in the show, and after she stood up to her mother, who was putting pressure on her to go to lycanthropy conversion camps. Enid introduced Wednesday to the social scene at Nevermore — the four main cliques being Furs, Fangs, Stoners and Scales. Furs are werewolves, Fangs are vampires, Stoners are gorgons and Scales are sirens, leader of whom is Bianca Barclay (Joy Sunday). She used to date Xavier Thorpe (Percy Hynes-White), 'resident tortured artist' as Enid describes him. Xavier is an Unknown, but his ability is soon revealed as visions too, which appear in his dreams. He usually transcribes what he sees to paper, and he can make his drawings and paintings come to life. Wednesday's Visions Portend Something Bad Happening At Nevermore Just as she started classes, Wednesday began to have visions. These occur when she comes in contact with a person or object. Her mother left her with an Aztec necklace made of obsidian that priests used to conjur visions. Her first premonition took place while she escaped a therapy session in Jericho and she bumped into an apple farmer, foreseeing his death by a mysterious creature responsible for several other murders in the woods surrounding Jericho and Nevermore. After Rowan (Calum Ross) tried to push a gargoyle statue onto her to kill her, she bumped into him at the Harvest Festival and foresaw his death right before it happened. RELATED: Also in that vision, she saw a mysterious book, fire being set to the Nevermore Quad (Pentagon) and more. The Nightshades Rowan, a telekinetic, claimed his mother foresaw Wednesday in a vision with Joseph Crackstone, founder of Jericho, 25 years ago. He vowed to prevent that from coming true by killing her at his mother's behest because she would destroy the school, but this backfired as the mysterious monster came out of the shadows and killed Rowan. Wednesday tracked down the book from which Rowan ripped his mother's illustration of her and Crackstone backed by a fire. A faded symbol in the upper right-hand corner led her to secret society The Nightshades — members including Bianca, Ajax (Georgie Farmer), Xavier, Divina (Johnna Dias-Watson), Yoko (Naomi J. Ogawa) and Kent (Oliver Watson). Technically, the society lost its charter years ago, but Principal Weems looked the other way as long as they didn't cause trouble. Wednesday's mother was in The Nightshades as well. The Love Triangle Xavier saved Wednesday from the above-mentioned gargoyle incident early on in the series and re-introduced himself after the two had met when they were young at a funeral of one of Wednesday's grandmother's friends. He had hid in the casket and almost got cremated. Wednesday heard him screaming and saved his life. RELATED: Xavier was one of Wednesday's love interests last season, but he competed with Tyler (Hunter Doohan) a Normie Wednesday met at Jericho's Weathervane coffeeshop in town after she escaped from her first therapy session. The Hyde Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen), who appeared in Episode 7 of Season 1, helped Wednesday identify the monster killing people in the woods and taking their body parts by pointing her towards Nathaniel Faulkner's diary, which was in The Nightshades' secret library. As she delved further into the research about Hydes, Wednesday realized that she must track down two people responsible for the killings — the Hyde itself, which she knows is a human because she saw its monstrous footprints transition back into human ones in the mud after an encounter — and its master, the person who has unlocked the Hyde's nature within the human. Because the Hyde haunted Xavier's dreams and he constantly paints it — as discovered by Wednesday in his hidden art studio — she suspected Xavier is the Hyde. And when she saw him call for an emergency session with Dr. Kinbott, she believed Kinbott was responsible for unlocking the Hyde. Turns out, Tyler was the Hyde. His mother was also a Hyde, and she attended Nevermore. Hunter's father Sheriff Donovan Galpin (Jamie McShane) failed to ever mention this detail, but the trauma of her post-partem depression triggering the condition passed onto Tyler, and his master used that information to unlock the creature in him as well. More on the master below. Garrett Gates – Gomez's Shady Past Sheriff Galpin also immediately pinpointed Wednesday because her father had a file with the Jericho Police Department from his days as a student at Nevermore. When Gomez was arrested for murder at Nevermore's Parents' Weekend, Wednesday gets on the case and digs up the dead body of the boy her dad supposedly killed, Garrett Gates. This all happened at the Goth & Glamor Rave'N her parents attended when Garrett approached Morticia, who was the one responsible for stabbing Garrett with a sword. The blue tinge of Garrett's corpse's finger signals that he was poisoned, though, and this led to the discovery that Garrett's father had sent him to the Rave'N to poison the outcasts, only the poison vial cracked and leeched into his skin instead. RELATED: Garett was brother to Laurel Gates, who had supposedly died by drowning overseas when she was sent away from Jericho as an orphan, but later on in the show, Wednesday, Enid and Tyler discover that someone is living in the old Gates mansion in Laurel's bedroom. Principal Weems Died Principal Weems, who had grown fed up with Wednesday's relentless pursuit of the truth, granting Wednesday one last favor to visit Eugene Ottinger Ottinger (Moosa Mostafa) in the hospital after the Hyde had attacked him. There, Eugene tipped Wednesday off as to who the Hyde's master was. Wednesday figured out that Weems was a shapeshifter with Morticia's memory of Weems' 'dead ringer' impression of Judy Garland. This confirmed that it was Weems disguised as Rowan leaving school following his death. Thus, Wednesday had Weems pretend to be Tyler in a confrontation with none other than Nevermore's first Normie teacher Ms. Marilyn Thornhill (Christina Ricci), who was actually Laurel Gates. They drew the confession out of her that she was the Hyde's master, but unfortunately when Weems changed back, Laurel killed her by injecting her with poison. This death made way for Steve Buscemi's Principal Barry Dort. Joseph Crackstone, Laurel Gates & Goody Addams Once Xavier told Wednesday that it was Joseph Crackstone in the illustration, she made Enid switch volunteer assignments on Outreach Day so that she could investigate Pilgrim World, the theme park dedicated to the Founder of Jericho, who imprisoned and alter burned outcasts in a mass genocide, which Wednesday's ancestor Goody Addams (also portrayed by Jenna Ortega) survived. Goody, one of the original outcasts, came over from Mexico, and her line leads to Gomez. At Pilgrim World, Wednesday didn't glean too much about Crackstone other than that he took Goody's Book of Shadows, but the real book had been replaced with a fake Etsy version. Goody later visited Wednesday in visions, and it was she who guided her descendant to the Gates mansion. Goody began to be Wednesday's spirit guide, teaching her the ways of her visions, but she sacrificed her afterlife self to save Wednesday from dying, disappearing from the realm Wednesday looked into in her visions. RELATED: This near-death experience took place when Laurel Gates dragged Wednesday to Crackstone's Crypt, clarifying the purpose of the missing body parts of the Hyde victims. Laurel planned to resurrect Crackstone, using Wednesday's DNA, an incantation and a crazy machine to channel his spirit into a sewn-together body. Crackstone came back to life in the Frankenstein-esque body, but Goody, before she vanished, told Wednesday to stab him in his black heart to kill him, which Wednesday eventually did with the help of Bianca, Xavier and even Enid, who wolfed out just in time to battle Tyler's Hyde in the woods. Someone Almost Killed Thing Before the identities of the Hyde and its master were revealed, someone stabbed Thing, the detached hand that is the Addams family's companion, in the back and left him hanging in Wednesday's room. Wednesday whisked the dexterous appendage and his digits to her Uncle Fester, who wass sleeping in Eugene's bee shed, to revive him with his electric shock ability. This scene held the most emotion viewers saw from Wednesday, who cried and willed Thing back to life Earlier on in the show, Wednesday had shared with Enid that she hadn't cried since she was 6 years old when some bullies ran over and killed her pet scorpion Nero. Wednesday Gets an iPhone, and a Stalker The show left off with Xavier, who was first framed for being the Hyde and then released, gifting Wednesday a phone. The vibe between the pair was uncertain as she had kissed Tyler, which then gave her a vision that he was the Hyde. White will not be returning to Season 2 of Wednesday. As Lurch (George Burcea) drove her away from her first semester at Nevermore in the snow, Wednesday received several texts from a mysterious stalker.

Grimm Reboot: Elizabeth Tulloch Offers ‘Exciting' Update on Potential Peacock Series — Would She Return?
It's been seven months since news first broke of a Grimm reboot being developed at Peacock, and we've been practically woging with anticipation ever since. So when TVLine recently connected with original series star Elizabeth Tulloch, we couldn't resist asking for an update, and the woman formerly known as Juliette (or Eve, depending on the day) was happy to oblige. More from TVLine Suzanne Rogers Exiting Days of Our Lives...?! Rep Addresses Wild Rumor Peyton Meyer Exits Days of Our Lives: Did Doug Williams Redeem Himself Before Leaving Salem? Days of Our Lives Snags Two-Season Renewal at Peacock, Keeping It Streaming Through 2028 'I know there's a script being written, and I know that David [Giuntoli] met with them,' Tulloch tells us. 'I don't think they would do a reboot or a spinoff or whatever it's going to be without David's involvement.' Grimm originally aired for six seasons (2011–2017) on NBC, starring Giuntoli as Nick Burkhardt, a detective who descends from a long line of Grimms — aka slayers of fairytale monsters known as Wesen. 'It's pretty exciting,' Tulloch says of the show's still-growing fanbase, which she attributes to the show's multiple streaming homes. 'A lot of people are sort of finding Grimm. We did 123 episodes, and it has like 90% on Rotten Tomatoes still.' As for whether Tulloch would like to reprise one or both of her roles in a potential continuation of Grimm… you'll have to watch the interview: In addition to Giuntoli and Tulloch, Grimm also starred Claire Coffee, Russell Hornsby, Silas Weir Mitchell, Bree Turner, Reggie Lee, Sasha Roiz and Jacqueline Toboni. The series was created by David Greenwalt and Jim Kouf, who also served as co-showrunners. Both are reportedly involved in Peacock's potential reboot, along with original series producers Lynn Kouf, Hazy Mills Productions and Universal Television. Josh Berman (Drop Dead Diva, CSI, The Blacklist) is writing and executive-producing the new series. At the time of the original report, a rep for Peacock told TVLine that it had no additional information to share. Hit PLAY on the video above to watch TVLine's interview with Tulloch, then drop a comment with your dream project below.

Duchess Meghan turns 44: British royal gets sweet birthday shoutout from As Ever brand
Duchess Meghan may be busy building her business kingdom, but today she's being crowned. The British American royal and entrepreneur, who turned 44 on Monday, Aug. 4, received a warm birthday shoutout on Instagram from her lifestyle brand As Ever, which launched in April to fan acclaim. The company, which has become known for its homey aesthetic and assortment of fruit spreads, herbal teas and baking mixes, shared a black-and-white photo of the duchess wearing a sun dress and wide-brimmed hat alongside its celebratory message. "Celebrating the woman behind it all," the company wrote in the post's caption. "She pours her heart, vision and magic touch into every detail, and today, we raise a glass to her! Happy birthday to our founder @meghan 🥂" See Duchess Meghan's daughter Lilibet: Young princess makes adorable cameo in As Ever teaser Meghan, who is married to Prince Harry, has yet to share any glimpses of her birthday festivities with her 4.1 million Instagram followers. The Duchess of Sussex has been more open about her family life with Harry, which includes children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, with a series of candid posts. Meghan first teased As Ever in March 2024 when she made a buzzy return to Instagram after a yearslong social media hiatus to introduce fans to the lifestyle project, formerly named American Riviera Orchard. The duchess later revealed she renamed the brand As Ever because the previous title, a reference to her and Harry's Montecito residence, "limited me to things that were just manufactured and grown in this area." The first As Ever drop sold out in under an hour, and one product — the limited-edition wildflower honey with honeycomb for $28 — had fans buzzing, selling out in less than five minutes. The featured products in the company's first collection included $12 herbal tea in three flavors: hibiscus, peppermint and lemon ginger. 'You have to be authentic': Duchess Meghan responds to twerking video backlash The lifestyle brand teased its upcoming release, a vintage rosé wine, in an Instagram video on Aug. 3. "Goodness in a glass. Right around the corner... Cheers to August!" the company wrote alongside the teaser. As Ever is produced alongside Netflix, which also distributes Meghan's lifestyle show "With Love, Meghan." The series premiered in March and was quickly renewed for a second season, although a release date has not been announced. Contributing: Taijuan Moorman and Jay Stahl, USA TODAY
