List of Wednesday characters

This is a list of characters from the Netflix series Wednesday (2022–present).

Overview

Outcast overview

In the series, the term Outcast refers to anyone who has supernatural or paranormal abilities. It is because of their differences that Outcasts refer to regular humans as "Normies" and are often at odds with each other. Nevermore Academy is a school attended almost exclusively by several different species of Outcasts. They are sorted into the different categories listed below:

  • Avians – Outcasts that can control birds.
  • Cyclopes – Outcasts that were first mentioned in the episode "Hyde and Woe Seek" where Principal Barry Dort confirmed during the Outcast Day of Remembrance that they are extinct.
  • DaVincis – Outcasts with telekinetic abilities.
  • Faceless – Outcasts who have no eyes, noses, or mouths. Despite having no mouth, they can still eat food.
  • Gorgons – Outcasts with snakes instead of hair that cause anyone who looks at them to turn to stone. The transformation does not appear to be permanent as in Greek legends but wears off after a few hours.
  • Hydes – Mutated Outcasts who are banned from attending Nevermore Academy. It takes a traumatic event to unleash a person's Hyde form.
  • Minotaurs – Outcasts that were first mentioned in the episode "Hyde and Woe Seek" where Principal Barry Dort confirmed during the Outcast Day of Remembrance that they are extinct.
  • Psychics – Outcasts who can experience psychic visions. Some psychics are also experts at witchcraft. Two types of psychics exist: Doves have a kinder personality and see positive outcomes from their visions while Ravens have a more cynical personality and have a negative outlook regarding their visions.
  • Pyros – Outcasts who possess pyrokinesis (the ability to generate and control fire).
  • Shapeshifters – Outcasts who can assume the form of anyone they encounter.
  • Sirens – Outcasts whose siren songs can be used to brainwash and control anyone. Their songs will not work on anyone wielding an item made of Corinthian Coral. In addition, they can also turn their legs into a fish tail when submerged underwater.
  • Sparks – Outcasts who possess electrokinesis (the ability to generate, store, and control electricity).
  • Swarmers – Outcasts that can control arthropods.
  • Vampires – Outcasts with extended lifespans that must wear sunglasses when in the sunlight. Though they can drink blood, the vampires eat other food as well.
  • Vanishers – Outcasts who possess the ability to turn themselves invisible.
  • Werewolves – Outcasts that assume bipedal wolf-like forms during a full moon and can retract their claws during the day.
  • Yetis – Outcasts that were first mentioned in the episode "Woe What a Night", that had gone extinct in the 1950s. The "Abominable Snowman" name was considered offensive to them.

She is introduced to her new school and her roommate, Enid Sinclair. Upon her arrival, she tries to run away from Nevermore, but decides to stay to investigate the Hyde monster's murders after she is almost killed by Rowan Laslow and witnesses him being murdered by the Hyde soon after. Shortly after, she wins the Poe Cup race with Enid and finds the Nightshade Library, which she starts to visit often. In one of her visions, it is revealed that Joseph Crackstone tried to burn her ancestor Goody Addams alive. Wednesday also finds a love interest in Tyler Galpin, going with him to the school dance after Thing pretends to be her and asks him out. After her father is arrested for murder, Wednesday and Morticia work together to find that Garrett was not killed by Gomez, but by the nightshade poison he had in his pocket. She notices that Laurel Gates is still alive and witnesses Noble Walker being run over by a car. She attends Mayor Walker's funeral and runs into her uncle Fester afterwards. With his help, she discovers that the monster she was looking for is called a hyde from Nathaniel Faulkner's journal. While she goes on a date with Tyler, the journal is stolen and Thing is stabbed. Wednesday later discovers that Tyler is the Hyde and deduces that his master is Marilyn Thornhill. She confronts Thornhill with Principal Larissa Weems. After Weems is killed, Wednesday is knocked out and taken to Joseph Crackstone's crypt so that Thornhill can use her blood to break the lock which was placed on him by Goody Addams. After escaping from the crypt, she goes to Nevermore and kills Joseph Crackstone.

In season two, Wednesday has been using her gift to track down an elusive serial killer. Her misuse of her gift causes it to go on the fritz and strain her relationship with Morticia.

Goody also founded the Nightshade Society, a secret society that was dedicated to fighting for equality between Outcasts and Normies which later evolved into an elite social club. Shortly after Marilyn Thornhill uses Wednesday's blood to resurrect Crackstone (a bloodlock can only be broken by the blood of a direct descendent of the person who placed it) and leaves her to die in the crypt, Goody appears and heals her mortal stab wound; but warns Wednesday that after she does so, Wednesday will never see her again.

In "Chapter VIII: A Murder of Woes", she disguises herself as Tyler to trick Marilyn Thornhill into confessing that she's actually Laurel Gates, who manipulated Tyler into killing victims as part of her plan to resurrect Joseph Crackstone, her deceased ancestor from the 1600s, and wipe the Outcasts from existence. After Weems reveals herself, Thornhill kills Weems by injecting her with nightshade poison.

In season two, Weems is succeeded by Barry Dort. Larissa Weems later returns as Wednesday's spirit guide. When Wednesday states that it would be impossible as the Addams family's spirit guides are usually a dead relative, Weems reveals that they are 13th cousins twice removed.

(Wednesday saved him from being cremated after he hid in the casket during a game of hide-and-seek.) Xavier is consistently supportive of Wednesday and warns her to avoid Tyler, later explaining that Tyler and his friends had assaulted him and destroyed his mural the year before.

Wednesday suspects Xavier is the Hyde, because he always appears in the same places as the monster around the same time. She engineers his arrest. After discovering that Tyler is the true culprit Wednesday visits Xavier in jail and asks for his help, but he angrily refuses.

Xavier is later freed from a police car by Thing and comes to Wednesday's aid during her battle with the resurrected Joseph Crackstone.

Using the dismembered body parts of Tyler's victims, she performed a ritual to revive him and they attacked Nevermore Academy. After Crackstone is defeated, Laurel returned with a gun and tried to kill Wednesday, but was defeated with the help of Eugene Ottinger and his bees.

At the start of season two, it was mentioned that Gates is incarcerated. Her old campus house was loaned to Morticia so she would have time to decide if she wanted to run the Nevermore fundraiser. When Gates was brought to Willow Hill to cooperate with Dr. Fairburn, she speaks to Tyler, whose Hyde form tries to grab her. After seeing Uncle Fester, Gates informed Dr. Fairburn of his presence. During the prisoner revolt Gates freed Tyler, who gave her 5 seconds to run for her life. His Hyde form caught her and he impaled her with his claws, killing her.

As part of Wednesday's investigation, they decide to stake out a cave suspected of belonging to the Hyde. Wednesday postponed their vigil when she went to the Raven Dance, but Eugene ignored her warning not to go into the woods alone. As a result, he is mauled by the Hyde, putting him in a coma.

Wednesday, blaming herself for the incident, visited him in the hospital and met his two mothers during Parents' Weekend. After waking up, Eugene gave her the description of a person that he witnessed setting fire to the cave. This helps Wednesday deduce that Marilyn Thornhill is Laurel Gates. During Crackstone's attack on Nevermore he saves Wednesday by attacking Gates with a swarm of bees, before Wednesday knocks her out.

Later on, he is attacked and stabbed with a knife by Marilyn Thornhill/Laurel Gates, but Uncle Fester saves his life.

Season two reveals that Thing used to be the right hand of Isaac Night which was cut off when Morticia was saving Gomez from Isaac's experiment that involved him trying to remove Françoise's Hyde form. As a side effect, Isaac's right hand gained a life of its own. After being snatched by Tyler upon trying to shoot Isaac, Thing is sewn back onto Isaac's right arm making him complete again. During the final battle, the Addamses reached out to Thing, enabling him to defeat Isaac and rip out his mechanical heart. Then he detached himself from Isaac's right arm. Thing later joined Wednesday and Uncle Fester in looking for Enid.

In season two, Gomez and Morticia enroll Pugsley into Nevermore Academy due to his electrokinesis being perfected. Both of them linger when Barry Dort is in need of donors as they make their home away from home in Marilyn Thornhill's old residence. Gomez would later recognize "Slurp" as Isaac Night which he later informs Morticia. During the Nevermore Gala, Gomez was present when Bianca brainwashed Dort into confessing to his crimes and when Wednesday blackmailed Grandmama Hester Frump into giving a worthy donation to the school. A flashback revealed that Gomez used to have electrokinesis until it was drained in Isaac Night's experiments which Morticia saved him from. Gomez later called the sheriff's department to Nevermore. Following the deaths of Isaac and Françoise Galpin, Gomez and Mortica return home with Pugsley and Lurch while Wednesday, Thing, and Uncle Fester head off to find Enid.

She ends up having her family relationship with Wednesday strained due to her dependence on the book to help with the psychic abilities.

Morticia is also shown to have a history with Françoise Galpin when she turns up alive, and learns how Wednesday freed her from Willow Hill. As part of a deal, Morticia wants Françoise to remove Tyler from Jericho, never to return. Later that night, Morticia is told by Gomez that "Slurp" is really Isaac Night. Sensing Weems' spirit form, Morticia starts to interact with her. During the Nevermore Gala, Morticia spoke with Weems' spirit, who told her of Wednesday's new prophecy regarding the death of an Addams.

She was also present when Bianca brainwashed Dort into confessing to his crimes, and when Wednesday blackmailed Granny Frump into giving a worthy donation to Nevermore in Gomez's name. A flashback revealed that Morticia saved Gomez from Isaac Night's experiments by slicing off Isaac's right hand, which led to it becoming Thing. Morticia assisted in the rescue of Pugsley.

Barry Dort

Barry Dort (portrayed by Steve Buscemi) is the Pyro headmaster of Nevermore Academy following the death of Larissa Weems who did not list him on her list of possible successors.

In 2008, Barry Dort encountered a former soap opera actor named Arnold Hunt, who was working as a bartender at the Tiki Tails bar that was frequented by Outcasts and had Gabrielle as one of the siren performers. Dort pitched his idea for an Outcast cult called the Morning Song (after the location of Tiki Tails in Florida) while Arnold became his figurehead.

Upon being sworn in as the new headmaster of Nevermore Academy fifteen years later, Dort is seeking some donations to the Academy and promotes the co-existence of normies and Outcasts. When it came to Morticia, Dort blackmailed Bianca into getting her to bring Grandmama Hester Frump to Nevermore to provide a donation in exchange for not terminating Bianca's scholarship. He also took a precaution to protect himself from siren abilities with an artifact that was made from Corinthian Coral. When it came to the Outcast Day of Remembrance which honors the extinct Outcast species such as Cyclopes, Minotaurs, and Yetis, Dort told Wednesday that he doesn't have plans to honor Weems, much to the dismay of Weems' spirit. Dort later finds where Bianca had hidden Gabrielle and makes use for them as he doesn't hold grudges. Because of Professor Orloff's murder by Isaac Night, Dort was intimidated by Sheriff Ritchie Santiago to have the sheriff's department provide security for the upcoming gala. Using Bianca, Dort brainwashes Grandmama Frump into giving her entire fortune to Nevermore while proposing an extension to Nevermore in her honor dedicated to the training of future morticians. Then he had Bianca in his office by the time her stepfather Arnold in his Gideon Sterling alias arrive. She witnesses Dort burning Arnold alive when he demanded much more money from Dort. Thanks to Agnes DeMille acting on Wednesday's orders during Agnes' dance with Enid, Bianca was able to brainwash Dort into confessing his crimes (revealing that he planned to defraud Nevermore and flee to Venezuela). As the Sheriff's Department converged, Dort took Bianca hostage and accidentally set one of the chandeliers on fire.

Morticia saved Gomez by slicing off his right hand which later became Thing. When he died, he was buried in an unmarked grave near a skull tree.

Years later, Pugsley hears the legend and accidentally brings the boy back to life as a zombie that he names "Slurp".

(short for Long-term Outcast Integration Study), they discover the thought-to-be-dead patients inside, like the alien-like Patricia Redcar, the half-faceless Julian Meiojas, an unidentified teenage Frankenstein's monster, an unidentified she-wolf, a zombie-masked patient, and an unnamed timid patient.

Judi then shows up, and is revealed to be the murderer of private investigator Carl Bradbury, daughter of Augustus Stonehearst, and true chief psychiatrist of Willow Hill. She had gained Avian abilities from her father's experiments, and used her crows (including a one-eyed crow) to kill Bradbury and later Donovan Galpin. When Uncle Fester causes a lightning attack that shuts down the power to Willow Hill, it releases all the prisoners from their cells as Judi flees from the ones that she experimented on. Two weeks later, Judi has hired a hitman to take out the escaped prisoners. While she mentions that she will become interim director following the death of Dr. Rachael Fairburn, Judi mentions that Fester Addams, Tyler Galpin, and "Slurp" are still at large. When Judi confronts Wednesday in her hospital room after she wakes up from her coma, Wednesday makes a comment about her illegal activities as Judi claims that the sheriff's department won't be able to find them.

While tending to Tyler while showing signs that she is dying, Françoise was approached by a revived Isaac who helped her and Tyler out. He attempted to purge the Hyde from Françoise only for it to be disrupted by Wednesday, Enid Sinclair, and Agnes DeMille. Then she had Tyler use his blood as part of a blood transfusion on Françoise. After Pugsley Addams was abducted so that he can be the battery for Isaac's experiment, Françoise had Tyler strapped to the table to have his Hyde form removed as it is too late for her. Because of Wednesday's sabotage, Françoise and Tyler fight each other in their Hyde forms.

Garrett Gates (portrayed by Lewis Hayes) was a Normie student in Jericho when Gomez Addams was a student at Nevermore. He was infatuated with Morticia Frump.

It was alleged that Gomez killed Garrett, but there was insufficient evidence to support this. Decades later, it was discovered that while attempting to poison the entire student body of Nevermore, Garrett got into a fight with Gomez that caused the vial of Nightshade poison he had in his pocket to shatter, fatally poisoning him. This caused him to go crazy as the poison took effect. As he was about to kill Gomez, Morticia ran him through with a sword, and he fell off the second floor balcony into the courtyard. He landed directly in front of Larissa Weems, terrifying her.

Uncle Fester

Uncle Fester Addams (portrayed by Fred Armisen) is Wednesday and Pugsley's uncle, and Gomez's brother. He is a Spark who can generate electricity. While not a student at Nevermore Academy, Fester did sneak in to see Gomez on occasion. For some time he went on many adventures around the world with Thing as his partner-in-crime. Their last safe-cracking job (in Kalamazoo) went wrong and almost cost them their lives.

Fester taught Wednesday many skills during her childhood, such as kung fu. Following Mayor Noble Walker's funeral, Wednesday runs into Uncle Fester, who is in town to lay low after robbing a bank in Boston and stealing a motorcycle and sidecar. He helps Wednesday with her monster investigation, including spying on Xavier and telling her about Hydes. Fester revives Thing with electric shocks after Thing was stabbed by Marilyn Thornhill/Laurel Gates.

In season two, flashbacks reveal that Uncle Fester used a very young Wednesday as a getaway driver for a bank heist. He spent his youth in and out of psychiatric hospitals, where he enjoyed his treatments. In the present, Wednesday enlisted Uncle Fester to get into Willow Hill, where he was briefly incarcerated. After causing a disturbance at the Apple Hollow Inn, Uncle Fester is arrested by the Jericho Sheriff's Department. They find false documents of his various identities, including the one he used to rob the Boston bank. He was committed to Willow Hill where he enlisted the lunch lady, Louise, as a contact.

Uncle Fester is directed to the location of LOIS by Augustus Stonehearst. He is ambushed by the guards when Laurel Gates informs Dr. Rachel Fairburn about him, and is locked in the same cell as "Slurp," aka Isaac Night. Wednesday later frees him.

They learn that LOIS is short for "Long-term Outcast Integration Study" – experiments done by Judi Spannagel that gave Outcast powers to Normies. Uncle Fester used his electrical power to cause a blackout, releasing all the Willow Hill inmates. After saying goodbye to Louise, he was able to flee during the chaos. Judi Spannagel would later mention at a press conference that Fester is still at large.

Following the deaths of Isaac Night and Françoise Galpin, Fester accompanies Wednesday and Thing north to look for Enid, who is trapped in her werewolf form. It's implied they will try to restore Enid to her human form.

Chet LaTroy (portrayed by Haley Joel Osment) is a down-on-his-luck beauty school dropout who operated as a serial killer called the Kansas City Scalper in Kansas City, Missouri for 12 years. Wednesday allowed herself to be taken captive by Chet, which enabled her to sneak Thing into his house. When Thing emerged from his hiding place, he beat up Chet. Wednesday chopped off Chet's hair and left an anonymous tip for the police. Morticia would later find out about Wednesday's encounter with Chet.

Afterwards, Orloff was confronted by the revived Isaac, who took out the power source of his life support system and ate his brain, which Agnes secretly witnessed. Because of Professor Orloff's death, Sheriff Ritchie Santiago intimidated Barry Dort into letting the sheriff's department provide security for the upcoming Nevermore Gala.

Dr. Rachael Fairburn

Dr. Rachael Fairburn (portrayed by Thandiwe Newton) is the chief psychiatrist at Willow Hill Psychiatric Hospital. She allows Wednesday to visit Tyler Galpin in his specially secured cell. Later on, she had Laurel Gates transferred to Willow Hill to work on Tyler. It would later be revealed that Judi Spannegel is the true chief psychiatrist of Willow Hill, with Fairburn being the public face. When Uncle Fester caused a power outage and released all the inmates from their cells during his and Wednesday's confrontation with Spannegel, Dr. Fairburn grabs Augustus Stonehearst's wheelchair as they take refuge in her office. Both of them are killed by "Slurp" (Isaac Night) when he gets in.

Ron Kruger

Ron Kruger (portrayed by Anthony Michael Hall) is the scoutmaster of the Phoenix Cadets. Because Nevermore had rented the Jericho Campground that the Cadets intended to use due to a case of double-booking, Kruger agreed with Barry Dort to play a game of Capture The Flag to determine who would get use of the campsite for the weekend. Nevermore won the game thanks to unorthodox tactics used by Wednesday. The Phoenix Scouts tried to raid the Nevermore camp as reprisal, which resulted in "Slurp" escaping and Kruger being killed by him.

Varicose (portrayed by Liv Spencer) is Grandmama's butler who shares similar features to Lurch. He functions as her majordomo and to date has never spoken.

Rosaline Rotwood

Rosaline Rotwood (portrayed by Lady Gaga) is a psychic teacher at Nevermore during the 1960s.

Wednesday in Enid's body later made contact with Rotwood, who advised her to learn more about Enid before sunrise or they will both die.

Arnold Hunt

Arnold Hunt (portrayed by Casper Van Dien) is a soap opera actor who was later removed from the show and became a bartender at the Tiki Tails, a siren tiki bar in Morning Song, Florida that is frequented by Outcasts, where Gabrielle was one of the siren performers. He was later visited by Barry Dort, to whom Arnold talked to about his history. Dort came up with the idea of forming Morning Song, named after the location, consisting of gullible Outcasts and Normies. At some point, Arnold took up the alias of Gideon Sterling (after his soap opera character), ran Morning Song as Dort's front man, and became Gabrielle's husband and Bianca's stepfather. Gideon used Gabrielle's siren song to recruit people and steal their money. He groomed Bianca to take over for Gabrielle, but Bianca left the cult after realizing his true character.

By the events of season two, Bianca used her siren abilities to brainwash the FBI into raiding Sterling's compound, causing him to go on the run as Bianca tried to hide Gabrielle in places like the Apple Hollow Inn (where Gabrielle was discovered by the Sheriff's Department during their arrest of Uncle Fester) and an abandoned classroom at Nevermore (where Bianca and Gabrielle were found by Dort). When Arnold came to Nevermore, Dort reunited Arnold with his stepdaughter and mentioned to him that Gabrielle is in his apartment. Upon Arnold demanding his money from Dort, he incinerated Arnold in front of Bianca and threw his skeleton into the fireplace. The murder of Arnold was among the things that Bianca brainwashed Dort into confessing to at the Gala.
