Talking about the plot, the series revolves around the tumultuous life of Morticia and Gomez Addams' eldest daughter Wednesday Addams. The series starts by showing Wednesday being expelled from her 'normal' school for almost killing the entire water polo team by dumping live piranhas into the school's pool as a lesson for bullying her younger brother Pugsley Addams.

Her parents then decided to send her to their alma mater, Nevermore Academy with the hope that she would adjust well with the other outcast and freak students. Wednesday was completely against the idea of attending the same school that her parents attended and planned ways to escape by getting herself expelled again.

However, while at it, she slowly discovers that she has inherited her mother's psychic ability that she puts to use to solve the local murder mystery.
