Following their unfortunate reveal earlier this week, the new LEGO® Wednesday set have been officially revealed today and along with the two playsets is a new LEGO BrickHeadz pack. Wednesday is inspired by the Addams Family and took the world by storm when it premiered on Netflix in 2022. A second season is currently in the works. In the first season, Wednesday is reluctantly enrolled in Nevermore Academy and is soon involved in a spooky mystery. The new theme features sets inspired by the Nevermore Dorm Room of Wednesday and her colourful ‘bestie’ Enid along with buildable versions of Wednesday in both Mini-doll style and as a BrickHeadz figure along with Enid. All three sets will be available from October 1st.

To celebrate the launch, Wednesday’s loyal sidekick, Thing, was the first to build one of the sets. You can watch the playful video here: www.LEGO.com/Wednesday. Directed by Wednesday co-creator Miles Millar and shot on location in Ireland on the set of the hit TV series, the video captures the essence of the series and the excitement of the new LEGO sets.
Fans of the popular TV series aged 10 and up are invited to channel their wickedly smart heroine Wednesday Addams with this collectable range comprising of three new LEGO sets:
LEGO Wednesday: Wednesday Addams Figure is a 702-piece playset inspired by the TV series, suitable for ages 10+. It features two faces and outfits, allowing fans to recreate Wednesday with her deadpan gaze in her Nevermore Academy uniform or her kooky side-eye look and black dress from the Rave’N Dance scene. The set includes hidden compartments, the eerie Nevermore Academy gate, her typewriter, pet scorpion Nero’s grave, black dahlia flowers and crystal ball. Also included in the set is a brand new, adapted LEGO element for a hand, printed with all the iconic scars, to impersonate Thing.
LEGO Wednesday: Wednesday & Enid’s Dorm Room is a 750-piece playset designed for fans aged 10+. This detailed set includes a buildable dorm room with the iconic spiderweb window, a balcony with gargoyles, and a base with buttons to open hidden drawers. It features 4 mini-doll figures (two versions each of Wednesday and Enid), Thing, a cello, typewriter, mystery board, and more. The hidden drawers can store mini-doll figures and accessories like a cat-ear headpiece and Enid’s phone. This set encourages imaginative play and mystery-solving adventures, making it a perfect gift for fans of the TV series. Additionally, digital building instructions are available on the LEGO Builder app, allowing fans to zoom in and rotate models in 3D for an enhanced building experience.
LEGO BrickHeadz Wednesday & Enid is a 239-piece building set designed for fans aged 10 and up. This set includes instantly recognizable figures of Wednesday Addams in her iconic black dress and Enid Sinclair with her blonde hair and colourful sweater. The figures come with a baseplate for display, allowing fans to recreate their favourite scenes from the MGM Television produced Netflix series Wednesday and keep the magic alive long after the TV is switched off.
This set is perfect for fans of the series, offering a fun and engaging building experience. The figures can also be combined with other LEGO® BrickHeadz™ sets for an expanded display of iconic characters.
Discussing the new collection, Creative Lead at the LEGO Group, Raquel Ojeda Gregorio shares: “Wednesday has become a cultural icon with a dedicated fanbase and a captivating lead character. We felt the challenge to craft something that would genuinely delight fans of the series. Our goal was to capture the unique essence of Wednesday and offer LEGO enthusiasts a way to explore her universe through these collectibles, allowing them to immerse themselves even further into her world.”
“We’re thrilled to work with the LEGO Group to bring the dark and whimsical world of Wednesday to fans in an immersive new way. The new LEGO sets capture the show’s unique aesthetic and personality so perfectly,” said Jamie Kampel, Head of Amazon MGM Studios Consumer Products and Interactive Licensing.
“This collaboration gives Wednesday’s dedicated fanbase the opportunity to dive deeper into her mysterious universe through the power of LEGO building,” added Ricardo Cruz, senior licensing executive, Amazon MGM Studios Consumer Products and Interactive Licensing.
Commenting on the creation of the playful video, co-creator of Wednesday, Miles Millar said, “When I first heard that Wednesday’s world would be reimagined in LEGO bricks, I was so excited that all her fans could lose themselves in her mysterious world. We loved the idea of Wednesday’s loyal accomplice ‘Thing’ getting a starring role and being first in the world to build the new playsets, is there anybody who knows her spooky, quirky, monochrome world better? We had great fun making this video and hope it inspires fans new and old all over the world to build, play and let their imaginations take off.”
