From the creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”), and director Tim Burton (The Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice), the kooky and spooky first season of “Wednesday,” the TV series based on Wednesday Addams of the iconic Addams Family, which streams on Netflix and is produced by MGM Television, a division of Amazon MGM Studios, comes to DVD and Blu-ray March 26, 2024. "Wednesday" Season One will be available to purchase online and in-store from major retailers. Pre-order your copy now.
The series stars Jenna Ortega as Wednesday, Gwendoline Christie as Principal Larissa Weems, Jamie McShane as Sheriff Donovan Galpin, Hunter Doohan as Tyler Galpin, Percy Hynes White as Xavier Thorpe, Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair, and Joy Sunday as Bianca Barclay. Guest stars include Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams, Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams, and Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.
The critically-acclaimed series received 12 Emmy nominations in 2023 including Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series for Jenna Ortega who became the second youngest woman to ever be nominated in the category and the third Latina following Rita Moreno and America Ferrera. Tim Burton was nominated for Best Director For A Comedy Series. The 8-episode series was watched for almost 6 billion minutes during its first five days available on Netflix and remains Netflix’s most popular English TV series of all time with 252.1 Million views.

Wednesday's attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships at Nevermore.
Of course 'Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery' is Date Night approved but it's all about Netflix's quality right now
Not as impressed with the first Knives Out flick, the Glass Onion follow-up was definitely fun and enjoyable - despite a pretty long runtime. But while I’ll go ahead and get the Date Night-approved out of the way here, it’s more about what Netflix has been serving up lately.

As you can imagine, just as the price of your local grocery goods are going up, so are subscription prices and while it’s easy to complain and whine about it, the quality Netflix is serving up these days absolutely justifies it.
From solid flicks like the aforementioned movie to must-see series like ‘Wednesday’ - not for myself, but the masses love it, and the absolutely fun ‘Kaleidoscope’ show? I am pretty blown away.
There’s a bunch of other specials and shows the N is coming up with and plenty on deck for the entire year but this moment is all about showing big love to Netflix for really getting back to its core Netflix & Chill goals with quality enough content to actually convince bae to stay in with you and watch something the culture is keeping tabs on, too.
Well done, Netflix.
