She's creepy and they're... greasy?
At least for the Meals of Misfortune limited-edition menu coming to Wendy's, when Netflix's dark hit Wednesday takes over. Things get started July 31, with a 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. sneak peek at the 12138 Imperial Highway location in Norwalk, California. The rest of the country can taste the dread in August.
“Normally I’d be against this kind of capitalistic corporate synergy,” Wednesday Addams said in a press release (presumably in a sinister monotone). “But when the fast-food-slinging pigtailed provocateur said I could do whatever I wanted to her customers, I couldn’t resist.”

Wednesday didn't hold back, either. Menu items will include “Rest in 10-Piece” (nuggets), “Cursed & Crispy” (fries), “Raven’s Blood” (a Frosty served with a "Spoon of Gloom") and “Dips of Dreadm,” four inferno-inspired mystery sauces named You Can’t Hyde, This Will Sting, Grave Mistake and Nowhere to Woe.
But don't fear (or possibly, do), because the Meals of Misfortune will spread across the United States on August 4, just in time for the long-awaited premiere of Wednesday's second season on August 6 on Netflix. (Part two of the season will stream on September 3.)
But regardless of where you live, you can get in on the world's spookiest pigtailed collab with “Escape from Wednesday’s Woe.” A Wendy's app exclusive (yes, Wendy's has an app), “Escape from Wednesday’s Woe” is an interactive game that requires fans help Wednesday avoid normalcy and potentially win $10,000. Or at the very least, score some sweet Wendy's rewards.
Season 1 of Wednesday premiered in 2022 and quickly became one of Netflix's most-watched originals, thanks in large part to director Tim Burton's singular vision and Jenna Ortega's star-making performance as the titular teen, stranded at a new school where things are not what they seem. The moody set design, sardonic scripts and killer cello soundtrack made Wednesday into the ideal binge for anyone looking to feel a little mysterious and ooky, whether or not it's spooky season.
Season 2 promises even more thrills and chills, with guest stars like Lady Gaga, Steve Buscemi and Billie Piper joining returning cast members Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Isaac Ordonez and Emma Myers. The series has already been renewed for a third season.
