RIYADH: Netflix recently opened the gates of Nevermore Academy in Riyadh for the launch of part two of the second season of “Wednesday” with an event to mark the release of the hit “Addam’s Family” spinoff.  

On Wednesday evening more than 171 prominent media professionals, influencers, creative talents, and industry partners came together to mark the return of the Jenna Ortega-starring hit show.

Guests were treated to a private screening of the first episode before stepping into the Nevermore activation at B6, JAX District, designed to look like the school Wednesday Addams attends in the show. 

Guests navigated a maze filled with eerie surprises and interactive moments, and even participated in a silent disco featuring the contrasting musical tastes of Wednesday and her fun-loving friend Enid, played by actress Emma Myers. The event culminated in a gothic-inspired after-party at Beast House, where the dark energy associated with Wednesday’s character lingered well into the night.

From Sept. 4 to 6, the Nevermore experience will be open to the public at B6. Fans will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of “Wednesday” through three days of interactive installations and atmospheric photo moments, capturing the energy of the new season. The activation will run from 5 p.m. to midnight.

“Wednesday” premiered with its first part on Aug. 6, 2025, followed by its second on Sept. 3, 2025. This season sees Wednesday Addams, portrayed by Ortega, return to the Gothic halls of Nevermore, facing fresh challenges and foes. As she navigates the complexities of family and friendships, Wednesday is drawn deeper into a chilling supernatural mystery. Creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar are back for this spine-tingling season, alongside executive producer and director Tim Burton.

The series features a talented ensemble cast, including Myers, Steve Buscemi, and Catherine Zeta-Jones, with guest appearances from notable stars such as Jamie McShane, Joanna Lumley, and Lady Gaga.
