Wednesday creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar recently recalled how Netflix's popular The Addams Family spinoff series was nearly dead before arriving at the streaming service.

 Starring Jenna Ortega as the morose titular character, the coming-of-age horror show quickly became one of Netflix's most-watched shows of all time.

 After Wednesday Addams is expelled for dumping live piranhas in the school's swimming pool, she is enrolled at Nevermore Academy, a private school specifically for students with a supernatural background.
