From streaming platforms like Disney+ to Netflix, here are some of our recommended shows to watch this month.

Wednesday (Season 2 Part 1)

Play

Netflix’s Wednesday is back for a second season, and our favourite star returns to Nevermore Academy with sharper psychic powers and even more problems. Fans can also look forward to more Addams family drama, as Morticia, Gomez, and Pugsley Addams all take on bigger roles. Pugsley joins Nevermore with his electrokinesis power, which is as hard to control as it is to pronounce. Meanwhile, Morticia and Gomez have their own reasons for sticking around campus more often, which means plenty of awkward family run-ins. And if you thought Wednesday and her mother’s relationship was frosty before, season two takes it up a notch.
