Once more, Nevermore Academy stands open, stranger and more thrilling than before. The eerie institution renowned from Netflix’s popular series “Wednesday” is welcoming Outcasts of all sorts. Indeed, it’s time to apply! If you’ve ever felt misplaced or out-of-sorts, this could very well be the school that was meant for you.

Nestled near the Vermont town of Jericho, you’ll find Nevermore Academy – an extraordinary institution designed to accommodate individuals often misunderstood, such as Werewolves, Vampires, Sirens, Gorgons, and prodigious minds akin to DaVincis. Here, they can flourish in peace.

For over two centuries, this institution has stood tall, serving not just as a refuge but as a launchpad, empowering students to transcend the ordinary and soar beyond it.

According to Netflix’s announcement, the second season of “Wednesday” is set to premiere in August, and there are some shifts happening at Nevermore Academy. A new principal, Barry Dort, portrayed by esteemed actor Steve Buscemi, will be assuming duties following the enigmatic departure of Principal Larissa Weems (may she rest in peace). You can catch a glimpse of Principal Dort delivering his welcome address to students.

On NevermoreAcademy.com, you’ll find a treasure trove for enthusiasts. You can discover which Outcast power aligns with your personality by taking a quiz. There are also secret clues scattered throughout the site for fans to decipher. And let’s not forget the application process for those daring enough to apply and test their fortune for becoming a student. However, be aware that admission is highly competitive and may even prove to be lethal.

As a film enthusiast, I’m extending an invitation to you: It’s time to enroll in the macabre charm of the Addams Family at Nevermore Academy. Applications, like ghostly whispers in an abandoned crypt, have now been unveiled for your consideration.
