LEGO Wednesday 2026: Nevermore Academy, the backpack and the full range

The LEGO Wednesday range is two years old to the day. Launched on 1 October 2024, it followed the calendar of the Netflix series for a long time: the Black Dahlia came out the same month as part one of season 2, and the October 2025 boxes were presented as the official sets for that season. The two new sets announced in early August for 1 October 2026, Nevermore Academy and Wednesday's backpack, change things: with no new season on air before 2027, this wave is aimed at the Halloween period. Pre-orders are already open, and the target audience is no longer quite the same as at launch. Here is a look at the whole range.

October 2024: three boxes built around the character

At launch, everything is about Wednesday herself. The Wednesday Addams Figure, with 702 pieces, is a buildable, posable model with two faces and two interchangeable outfits, the ball dress and the school uniform, stored in drawers that lock with a key. The base includes the Nevermore gate, the typewriter, Nero's grave and a crystal ball.

Wednesday & Enid's Dorm Room came out on the same day: 750 pieces recreating the most unlikely room-share at Nevermore, with the cello, the typewriter, the spider-web window, a balcony with gargoyles and secret drawers opened with buttons. Four mini-dolls come with the set, two versions of each girl.

A third product completed the launch, in a very different format: the Wednesday & Enid BrickHeadz, with 239 pieces. Two large cube-shaped heads to put on a shelf, with Wednesday's black dress and Enid's colourful jumper. It is the only item in the range where the two girls are neither mini-dolls nor minifigures. Note, however, that it has also left the official catalogue, and it has become much harder to find than the other two.

In the two building sets, all the characters are mini-dolls, the slim-bodied figures used in the Friends and Disney ranges: LEGO was aiming at children and play. For latecomers: none of these three sets is in the official LEGO catalogue any more. They can still be found at partner retailers.

2025: the season 2 wave

The following year, the range grew with season 2, and the tone shifted from toy to display piece. The Black Dahlia Flower came first: a 358-piece display flower that hides a classroom in its vase, with mini-dolls of Wednesday and Professor Marilyn Thornhill.

Thing's Apartment is taken directly from a storyline in the season: the converted trunk that Thing's friends give him, with a bed, a chair and a posable figure of the hand. It is available from around a dozen shops.

Morticia's Cottage remains the largest set in the range: 1002 pieces, two floors, six rooms including a seance room, and the family car.

Nevermore Academy: the school in micro-scale

The main new set for 2026 takes on the central setting of the series. Nevermore Academy, with 890 pieces, rebuilds the school in micro-scale, in the style of the dioramas LEGO makes for Harry Potter and Star Wars. The building stays a reasonable size, 17 cm high and 21 cm wide: a display piece, not a bulky toy.

From the outside, a clock tower with two faces stands over the whole build, with pointed roofs, a glass greenhouse and black spiders sculpted into the base. The back is open, and the interior can also be seen from above: the music room and its pipe organ, a large hall with red drapes under a chandelier, a fireplace topped by a stone face, the principal's office, and even a balcony to stand the characters on.

The room that stands out is the dorm. LEGO has reproduced the two girls' unlikely room-share: Enid's side is full of pink, purple and cyan, Wednesday's is strictly black and white, and a stained-glass rose window forms a spider web at the back of the room, as in the 2024 Dorm Room. A secret drawer slides out of the base to store the characters.

For figures, two micro-figures of Wednesday and Enid bring the scenes to life. Most importantly, there is a real collector's piece: the very first Wednesday Addams minifigure, supplied with her umbrella. After two years of mini-dolls, she can finally join the other LEGO characters in a collection. Two things are missing: Enid has no minifigure, and Thing is not in this box.

Wednesday's backpack

The second new set is different: the Academy is made to be looked at, the backpack is made for play and storage. This 401-piece set reproduces the bag Wednesday carries in the series, 19 cm high when closed, with translucent purple flowers, vines climbing up the side and her monogram on the flap.

It opens in two ways. The top lifts to reveal a miniature bedroom, with a black cello standing upright, a typewriter and a frame decorated with a raven: references to the 2024 Dorm Room that LEGO carries from one box to another. The front folds down with two clasps and reveals a real storage space, including a ring holder and a photo holder. LEGO states that the photo and accessories are not included.

Inside are Thing with pink roller skates, and Wednesday, back as a mini-doll. This box is not aimed at collectors: it is designed for a fan's bedroom. The two sets come out on the same day, but they are not for the same audience.

Our verdict

Nevermore Academy is the box to choose if you only buy one: the most accomplished display piece, and the only one with the minifigure. The backpack makes sense as an everyday object or as a gift for a fan of the series. And for a small entry into the range, the Black Dahlia Flower is a good choice.

Both new sets are available to pre-order, shipping from 1 October 2026. Season 3 of the series is expected in 2027, and if LEGO keeps to one release each October, the next wave will come with its return. Our price comparison tracks prices at partner shops continuously.
