She's creepy and kooky, mysterious and spooky -- but what happens when Wednesday Addams finds herself in a school where everybody is just as altogether ooky as she is?

Feast your eyes on the deliciously dark trailer for the upcoming Netflix show Wednesday, which is a fiendish new adventure for the deadpan daughter of the infamous Addams Family. Directed by Tim Burton and starring Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia, the spinoff series follows Wednesday to suitably gothic academy Nevermore, where she solves a mystery in her own inimitable style. The trailer teases deliciously pitch-black humor and bloody horror -- ah, school, the happiest days of your life.
