Spooky season is upon us and Netflix is celebrating in the best way possible! The streaming giant dropped an official trailer for their highly-anticipated show Wednesday, the story of teenage Wednesday Addams attending the mysterious Nevermore Academy.

The new trailer for Wednesday shows the titular heroine beginning her education at Nevermore, but it’s not your classic high school experience. The list of problems she has to deal with includes her emerging psychic ability, a monstrous killing spree, and the murder mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago.

Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán also appear in the trailer as Morticia and Gomez Addams, while the rest of the trailer features a couple of new faces. Fred Armisen appears as Uncle Fester, while Christina Ricci, who played Wednesday Adams back in the ’90s, portrays the original character named Marylin Thornhill. Gwendoline Christie also makes an appearance as the principal Larissa Weems.

Alfred Gough and Miles Millar serve as showrunners of Wednesday after co-creating the show alongside Tim Burton, who also serves as one of the executive producers. The series was filmed in Bucharest, Romania, and it will consist of a total of eight episodes, set to premiere on Netflix on November 23.
