VIDEO: Netflix's new comedy-horror series, Wednesday

When the show went to number one on Netflix in several countries worldwide, she shared a photograph of herself rejoicing in a setting that quite fits the series.

In fact, it looked to be from the show's sets itself, as she was surrounded by statues of armored knights, ornate doorways and arches, and a big hunting trophy.

Gwendoline celebrated Wednesday's success in style

The show's official Instagram handle dropped a few black heart emojis into the comments section while a fan adoringly wrote: "Justice for Weems!!! I will not accept any other ending."

Another said: "Wednesday is so good, I'm so in love with it and Weems," while a third added: "You were purely amazing in it!!"

The former Game of Thrones star plays the character of Larissa Weems, the principal of the titular character's school, Nevermore Academy.

She also possessed a prior link to Wednesday, having been a former classmate of her mother Morticia Addams, and became a fan favorite as a result while also being one of the show's more complex roles.

The Netflix show has quickly become a worldwide sensation

Fans have been clamoring for Gwendoline's return to the role after (spoiler alert!) Principal Weems was killed at the end of the first season, but the character's ultimate fate remains up in the air.
