Music plays an important role in Wednesday season 1, with the show’s gothic score being accompanied by classic hits, new pop songs, instrumental covers, and tunes that reflect the characters’ cultures. Shockingly, the Tim Burton-directed series doesn’t feature The Addams Family’s iconic theme song, but Wednesday makes up for it with Danny Elfman’s ominous and exciting score. While Wednesday season 1 doesn’t have a long soundtrack, the songs included in the show have important meanings within various scenes as reflections of the characters who are often listening to or playing them.
Wednesday Episode 1, “Wednesday’s Child Is Full Of Woe”
“Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien” by Édith Piaf: This is the first song in Wednesday’s soundtrack, which plays while the title character unleashes piranhas on her classmates who bullied Pugsley.
“In Dreams” by Roy Orbison: The classic song plays while Wednesday rides in the Addams family car to Nevermore Academy, with Morticia and Gomez lovingly singing along.
Wednesday Episode 2, “Woe Is The Loneliest Number”
Wednesday Episode 3, “Friend Or Woe”
“Space Song” by Beach House: This song plays in Wednesday season 1, episode 3 as the Nevermore Academy students and Jericho normies gather near Joseph Crackstone’s statue to hear Mayor Walker’s speech.
Wednesday Episode 4, “Woe What A Night”
“Levels” by henry parsley & Amy Caddies McKnight: When Ms. Thornhill comes up to Principal Weems at the dance to let her know that it’s time for the “big finish,” this upbeat pop song plays in Wednesday season 1, episode 4.
