Say what you like about the multitude of Netflix original series that have been released this year, but it’s clear the streaming platform kept one of their best projects till last.
Wednesday, a spooky supernatural comedy series from the mind of Tim Burton follows everyone’s favourite Wednesday Addams, as she deals with all things teen-angst and high school.
With a spectacular cast, including Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán and the OG Wednesday Addams, Christina Ricci, the TV show has quickly become a hit. And that’s largely in part due to the perfect casting of Jenna Ortega as Wednesday.
It was big boots to fill jumping into such an iconic role, but it’s clear Jenna Ortega was the right choice, giving her own spin on the dark and twisted role.
According to Jenna, she and Christina developed an understanding of their respective connection to Wednesday Addams. “I did not pick her brain,” she shared during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. “It was weird, it was like an unspoken agreement that we had. When we first locked eyes, we were just [thinking], ‘Let’s never talk about her.’”
