Logline: WEDNESDAY is a one-hour mystery drama charting Wednesday Addams' misadventures as
student at Nevermore Academy: a very unique boarding school snuggled in deepest New
England. Without ever blunting her bite, the show offers the chance to humanize
Wednesday. Season one will chart Wednesday's attempts to master her emerging psychic
ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, solve the murder
mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago and confront a dark supernatural threat-
all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships at Nevermore.
Roles:
[Wednesday]
(Leading Female F18-20 Latino/Hispanic)
15 years old. Curious, fiercely intelligent, and allergic to color, Wednesday has a wickedly cynical worldview and her response to life is never
straightforward.
[Gomez]
(TBD M Latino/Hispanic)
[Morticia]
(TBD F Latino/Hispanic)
[Enid Sinclair]
(TBD F 18-20 (Any))
16 years old. With a penchant for Technicolor fashion and heart-shaped sunglasses, Enid is Wednesday's mirror opposite.
As a member of a big werewolf clan, she feels like an outsider. Enid and Wednesday share a dorm,
and their relationship over the course of the First Season is complex, with many ups and downs. They are very different, however, to their mutual
surprise, they develop a deep bond and friendship.
[Tyler Galpin]
(Supporting Female M 18-20 (Any))
16 years old. He's the son of the lacal Sheriff. He's terrified of ending up like his dad, a bitter man who never fulfilled his dreams. His mother Franny was
history teacher at Nevermore; eventually was committed to the Loring Psychiatric Hospital. She died in an isolation room when Tyler was 4. Tyler
works part-time at the Weathervane Café. Like many locals, he has an uneasy relationship with Nevermore.
[Xavier Thorpe]
(Supporting Male M 18-20 (Any))
16 years old. He's the richest kid in school, though he's not one to flaunt his wealth.. unlike his famous father, Dominic Thorpe, who insists Tyler fly to
school via private helicopter Xavier is an only child, and the family lives in Al Capone's old mansion on Star Island, Miami. His mother died under
mysterious circumstances when Xavier was 6. Xavier's a talented artist and he has the unusual ability to make his drawings come to life.
[Bianca Barclay]
(Supporting Female F 18-20 (Any))
16 years old. She's Nevermore's resident queen bee. With waist-length hair, Bianca is a pre-Raphaelite beauty descended from a long line of "Sirens." Consequently, she can temporarily bewitch people to her will – everybody
except Wednesday, who is mysteriously immune to Bianca's powers of persuasion. Although she presents herself as a spoiled Manhattan rich kid,
the truth of her background is much shadier.
[Yoko Tanaka]
(Supporting Female F 18-20 (Any))
16 years old. One of Nevermore's many international students. She's a vampire and her family are legendary members of the Tokyo underworld, the Yakuza. With her Gothic Harajuku styling and party-all-night vibe, Yoko's
definitely one of the cool kids and would seem to have nothing in common with Wednesday. But both share a love of the macabre and '80s Anime,
bonding them. She is also a member of The Nightshades and proves to be a useful ally when Wednesday must face her darkest hour.
[Eugene Ottley]
(Supporting Male M 13-15 (Any)
13 years old. A verified genius. He's probably the geekiest student at Nevermore, not that he has the self-awareness to realize it. He's an only child
and has two moms, Janet and Sue. Eugene is in awe of Wednesday, but never intimidated. Halfway through Season One, Eugene ends up in the hospital
after falling victim to a Monster that is rampaging Jericho.
[Ajax "AJ" Petropolus]
(Supporting Male M 18-20 (Any))
16 years old. Of Greek royalty, his family has fallen on hard times. He is a direct descendant of Medusa on his mother's side. Hidden under his trademark beanie are a dozen snakes. Like many modern teens, Ajax suffers from crippling anxiety – as a result, his snakes are limp and have lost their power to petrify. He's a lot smarter than the clueless stoner-vibe he gives off.
[Tamara Novak]
(TBD F 35-45 (Any))
40, with a distinctive European accent. Novak has only been at Nevermore for 18 months, but is already one of the most popular teachers on campus. Novak's the head of biology and is an expert in all things botanical. However,
as Season One progresses, we will learn that Ms. Novak isn't all she seems.
[Principal Larissa Weems]
(TBD F 40-50 (Any)
A charismatic force of nature, Weems is an inspiring leader. In her 40s, her rise to the top has been meteoric. She takes a real interest in all the students
under her care. Weems grew up in Haiti – her mother was one of the island's most noted voodoo practitioners. Though popular with the student body, she has caused waves of dissent in the ranks of teachers and staff, who have bucked against her radical reforms.
