Can’t wait for the second season of Wednesday? Don’t Let the Forest In has the macabre private school setting, teens that may or may not be in love with each other, and monsters to fight during the night. Thomas is an artist who can’t stop drawing, usually of haunting and ominous monsters. Andrew writes snippets of tortured princes to match. But they realize that Thomas’ creations are coming to life. They can’t tell anybody, not even Andrew’s twin sister Dove, due to suspicions of murder and wild rumors. Andrew and Thomas resolve to destroy the monsters every night, to the detriment of their physical and mental health.
