Netflix's horror-comedy series Wednesday gives viewers a look into the Addams family as we've never seen them before. The Tim Burton-directed series stars Jenna Ortega in the titular role of Wednesday Addams, as she follows in her parent's footsteps by attending Nevermore Academy.

Armed with psychic abilities, Wednesday not only thwarts a killing spree, but also uncovers a mystery her parents were involved in 25 years before. Wednesday's quest to uncover the truth about her parents after discovering that her father was accused of murdering a man named Garrett Gates takes center stage in Season 1 of the Netflix show. Wednesday experiences a series of flashbacks that helps her discover the truth and gives us a look at a young Gomez and Morticia when they were students at Nevermore and first fell in love. The flashbacks reveal to Wednesday that Garrett went into a murderous rage and nearly beat her father, Gomez, to death. Morticia witnessed the deadly fight and used a sword to stop Garrett's attack, ultimately killing him. Despite Morticia's guilt, Gomez took the blame for the crime.

The show has become a massive hit, with fans already calling for a second season. If you've already checked out this season of Netflix, and you're wondering who plays young Gomez and Morticia Addams in Netflix's Wednesday, read ahead.
