Mystery and Mayhem Continue with LEGO’s Brand New Wednesday Sets
Fans of the delightfully dark world of Wednesday Addams have something to look forward to this October as LEGO expands its Wednesday theme with two brand new sets: 76787 Wednesday Backpack and 76788 Nevermore Academy. The new additions build on the popularity of the original Wednesday range, giving fans even more ways to recreate the eerie atmosphere of Nevermore Academy.
The standout of the two is 76788 Nevermore Academy, which brings the iconic gothic school to life in LEGO form. From its towering architecture to its haunting details, the set captures the mysterious home of Wednesday Addams and her fellow outcasts. Fans will be especially excited that the set includes a traditional LEGO minifigure of Wednesday, a first for the theme after the earlier releases featured mini-dolls. This makes the set particularly appealing not only to Wednesday fans but also to LEGO minifigure collectors.
Meanwhile, 76787 Wednesday Backpack offers a more compact and display-friendly build. Designed as a collectible backpack inspired by Wednesday’s distinctive style, it features clever details that fans of the series will instantly recognise, making it a fun desk display or gift for younger builders and collectors alike.
The LEGO Wednesday theme is inspired by Netflix’s hugely successful series Wednesday, directed in part by acclaimed filmmaker Tim Burton. The show stars Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams, delivering a fresh and captivating interpretation of the iconic character. Set during Wednesday’s time at Nevermore Academy, the series follows her as she attempts to master her emerging psychic abilities while investigating a string of mysterious murders and uncovering dark secrets tied to her family’s past.
Since its debut, the series has become one of Netflix’s biggest hits, earning praise for its gothic aesthetic, supernatural mystery, memorable characters and Jenna Ortega’s standout performance. Her portrayal of Wednesday has helped introduce the beloved Addams Family character to a whole new generation of fans while remaining faithful to the character’s dark humour and deadpan personality.
These latest LEGO sets continue to capture that unique blend of mystery, humour and gothic charm. Whether you’re a fan of the television series, a collector of movie and TV-inspired LEGO sets, or simply appreciate beautifully designed gothic architecture, both 76787 Wednesday Backpack and 76788 Nevermore Academy are sure to make hauntingly good additions to your collection when they arrive on 1 October 2026.
