Can your kids watch this one? What is the age rating of Wednesday?
This parent’s guide will help you decide if your family can handle the seven big issues with movies and shows: mature topics, gore, violence, language, sex, romance, and nudity. We’ll also give the Netflix series Wednesday age rating and age-appropriate recommendations.
This parents guide is based on episode 1 of the series.
Language
There is a bit of language in this series.
Your teens and tweens will hear:
- g-d d@mn
- h@ll
- sh!t
- b!tch
Age Rating of Wednesday: Is It Safe For Teens When It Comes To Sex, Romance, and Nudity?
So far, there is some mild flirtation but no sex or nudity in Wednesday.
The adult parents do kiss passionately and say romantic things to each other.
Violence and Gore: Is Wednesday Too Scary For Kids Under 14?
This is a mature, spooky, and somewhat scary show with a fair amount of gory content.
There is an instance where Wednesday puts piranhas into a swimming pool and blood is seen in the water.
Another scene shows a hiker who has been ripped apart with body parts (severed limbs and head) shown separately.
A car accident shows a man with a clearly broken neck.
Many deaths occur in the series and most have a fair amount of blood shown.
While we don’t think it’s incredibly scary for teens and tweens, parents do need to know there is a bit of violence and gore throughout.
There are weapons, fights, and murder in the series.
Is Wednesday Ok For Kids: Mature Topics
Bullying is a big topic, as it usually is with any high school-based show or movie.
Supernatural powers are also a prime focus throughout the series.
Age Rating: What Ages Can Really Watch This One?
Wednesday is rated TV-14 for violence, gore, and language.
Parents Guide: Is Appropriate For Kids Under 14?
We think kids who like scary and somewhat bloody shows could watch Wednesday on Netflix.
It’s a dark humor comedy at times with biting lines from Wednesday and others, but it isn’t exactly ha ha funny.
We’ll suggest 12 and up as long as your family is ok with a little horror and gore and language.
