I don’t think she realizes how good she is in this series. I also don’t think she gives herself enough credit. Wednesday was sooooo good and awesome. I’m literally obsessed with her 💜
Girls are magical; boys are irrelevant. Girls are indestructible; boys are weak. Girls are amazing; boys are toxic. Every boy in America is getting this message loud and clear every day of his life. Reckon what the fruit of this will be in the coming decades.
This interview just made the show 10x better for me. Jenna is immensely talented and wise! So happy we all get to witness this reimagination of a character and family we adore
As someone who played the violin as a child, I have to say Jenna did a really a great job with the cello. It always annoys me when actors don't match he bowing/fingering of the music, but she nailed it.
I play the cello, and her playing seemed very good! it would have helped if it didn't sound like she was playing all 5 instruments at once of Vivaldi's Winter, but still very good in this day and age.
@Caitlyn B. Oh, you mean the pizzicato. I just rewatched it and It is true that there is a slight instance where her playing didn't match up to the soundtrack. It seems as though she was given incorrect direction in order to mime. But overall lets cut her some slack she only had 8 months of practice...
I love how she actually wants to pursue playing the cello. As a classical musician, it made me happy to see an actor play this wonderful instrument so well.
I got an article reccomended yesterday about how this was the hardest role she ever played because the people responsible for the adaptation had different ideas of the character in mind and because of other circumstances. Seeing that article pop-up I assumed this was a flop, but seeing everybody here raving about her performance just makes me incredibly impressed that she seems to've pulled off a great performance despite the irregular non-optimal circumstances.
You can tell how much love and how passionate Jenna is when talking about acting she's definitely going to go very far in her career, I Think she’ll win a Oscar in the future for sure she’s such an amazing actress already, I’m rooting for her, and can’t wait to see what she does next :)
She is highly educated in her craft and medium - and yet she’s also a very intuitive actor with great passion and depth of feeling. I don’t know why Glenn Close keeps coming back to mind when I think of Jenna Ortega. Perhaps it’s that superb balance between talent and craft - or the love and attention to scary, unconventional roles. Either way, if there is any justice in this world, this young lady is going to go very far and become a mega star.
This was such an amazing show. I’m 28 y/o and I know it’s a teen show but it was great wow. My favorite part is every time it looks or feels like she’s gonna smile she doesn’t at all. I live it 🤣
The fact that she learned the cello for this role shows how much of a dedicated actor she is. As a cello, bass, violin, piano, and guitar player it’s not easy to learn how to play the cello in such short times.
🖤Finally a show that me and my teenage daughter can actually watch together, and somehow has brought us a little closer! So thank Mr. Tim Burton! I really hope for more than one season 🖤 🪢⚒️🕳⚰️🪦
It’s weird, when I looked up the cast of Wednesday, I read the name Jenna Ortega and this name was so familiar to me but I realized that I’ve actually never heard of her before. The name Jenna Ortega sounded as familiar as an adult actress who has been famous for many years so I was kinda shocked to find out that Jenna is only 20 years old. Something similar happens when stranger things first became popular, I googled the cast and read the name Millie Bobbie brown and thought she’s one of the many famous adult actresses who has been acting for many years and I was also very shocked to find out that Millie was only like 13 years old. Did this happen to someone else or just me ?
For Jenna she had a familiar face to me but I don’t actually think I’ve ever seen her in anything before so I get what you mean. It wasn’t her name but her face did that for me. Must means she is where she is supposed to be.
Sounds like a kind of Mandela effect, but nah, it didn't happen to me, let's see how many likes you get, as an indicator that some people have the same feelings
Please make a serious out of this with other actors and actresses! This is a great style of video!! As fans we love hearing the inner workings of what the actors day to day life was during the show, ways they went about acting and filming, etc. Great video!
I have watch all the Addams shows ever made. Jenna knocked this out of the park in my opinion. I loved the series. Hope they can make a great season two.
She is so talented and she was AMAZING in the show. Everyone involved was great, but I can't imagine anyone else playing Wednesday. It's becoming a tradition for Netflix to drop the greatest shows right as the year ends. Last year it was Arcane, in 2022 it was Wednesday
@ᄏᄏᄏJIMINeutron If you’re in university or doing studies of any kind this should be within reach. In fact, I’ve seen 14 year olds as articulate as some intellectuals due to their reading habits.
I love how involved her mind is. My daughter is a long-time fan and I appreciate that this good natured and skillful, hardworking and sweet celebrity is a role model of hers. :)
Her micro expressions are incredible. Her face is so dainty and sharp, so it feels like all her expressions are amplified. This girl just absolutely nailed it
@Sour Kraut Bratwurst not everyone is going to like her. A lot of people will always only love Christina’s Wednesday and that’s fine too. Sorry you didn’t like her.
She is more thoughtful and down to earth than 90% of Hollywood, I love her! She seems like a joy to have around, and I can’t wait to see her career blow up!
Thanks for being an amazing actress, honestly this show is the only show i really enjoy this year, because i actually get bored easily while watching other shows (mainstream ones)
I was very nervous about this show because I adore the Addams family so so much but the acting and the portrayal was just so amazing and I was completely blown out of the water
I know she nailed Wednesday, but every character in the 8 episode nailed there parts, I was so happy when this first season ended, There was nothing for me to say with the exception of Lurch who did not give us a rolling of the eyes and low moan when things get to be too much. The hand grenade fishing scene was aswome while Gomez was in jail. Her stepping to hyde and giving him a you know what was so cute and left me aghast that nope no happilys but a different twist of the fates trying to rattle, destroy, and dominate Wednesday. But after so many years and a couple of attempts on the big screen the Adams Family truly has a story to tell, and l am wanting so much more. Props, Kudos too every single actor (i cried for my werewolfs coming of age scene) Dont kid yourself this Netflix release was something special, sabrina, animes, ummm anything this past year really did not leave me admiring faces, makeup, storylines, like this, world wide even this was my top pick for show of the year. love piece and but grease and I'm out.
I wasn't impressed by Luis Guzman. He looks the part of Gomez perfectly (as depicted in the original comics) but he just came across to me as a tryhard. Catherine Zeta-Jones, however, nailed it as Morticia.
I love how she recognizes to give herself grace when she says "my mom is an ER nurse, this is a Netflix show." She does a phenomenal job as Wednesday and I can totally tell this can't be an easy character to take on.
@natopal 08 shes basically saying at the end of the day, its just a tv show made for people to enjoy whilst her mom is out saving lives so its nowhere as serious or important for her to be intensely stressing over
Tim Burton is doing an amazing job with filming this hit. I agree, showing her expressionless and silently at times adds so many drama and makes her seem so more intelligent and in control. I’d love to see the outakes in scenes now that she said there were various versions shot.
I was like... She is born to play this character, she did it so well that I got carried away along with her dark humor, she is selfless and selfish at same time, she is brave and strong too... Also Catherina played her part well too... I wish they make a season 2
“My mom is in the ER and she saves lives” well said Jenna. I was already a fan after her role in You but after this video she’s easily one of my top ten actresses. Looking forward to seeing Netflix’s Wednesday today.
Love It. She channeled the character of Wednesday for sure. All my boyfriend say is let's watch Wednesday, let's watch Wednesday. 😂 Good show, we love the Addams Family.
I would really like to see her/any actor talk about the schedule of acting more and if it was worth it because I am thinking of going into acting and I would really like some insight of that
@BILL MURRAY I think Raul and Angelica were a good Gomez and Morticia as leads for the The Addams Family movies in the 90s. In 2022, the actors of Morticia and Gomez were a good casting choice for the TV series based on th pov of their teenage daughter, Wednesday, whose the lead. Casting and Concept would be different given the director and time.
@Twenty One Tortas I like how you think you know how he should be portrayed, like Tim Burton doesn't know what he's doing with his own characters. It's people like you this world doesn't need. People who can't stand change and are threatened by it
@R I think Tim Burton knows how to write for his own characters. It's funny how you keyboard warriors think you know what's best. If you don't like it, don't watch it.
I was vehemently against making a new Wednesday Addams. HOWEVER! This reprisal is both familiar and fresh. I appreciate the fact that she acknowledges the flawless, high bar Christina Ricci set for the role and that she reached it in her own way, through her own talent. Miss Ortega achieves familiarity of character but she makes us welcome the evolution that we didn’t know we needed for Wednesday. I applaud this actor for all her achievements in this role. 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
Honestly, my favorite part of how she portrays Wednesday is her micro expressions. She keeps her deadpan expression throughout the show but is able to make these small subtle changes, allowing the audience to see how she's really feeling. Which is important since Wednesday is the main character. It's so unique and fascinating to watch.
@Thanh Vy Võ l can tell you exactly. When Uncle Fester said she was like her mum, and she looked conflicted, like, ‘l’m not sure how l feel about that,’ but she showed that all with one movement of her eyes.
@Thanh Vy Võ l can tell you exactly. When Uncle Fester said she was like her mum, and she looked conflicted, like, ‘l’m not sure how l feel about that,’ but she showed that all with one movement of her eyes.
For the record you seriously killed the Wednesday Adams Character!!! I have always had a connection to Wednesday being the smart one in my family who is so misunderstood hellbound on truth and justice for those who could not deliver justice themselves!!!! I Love this Wednesday Adams!!! And I seriously hope this series goes on and on!!!! And Please tell me we are gonna see Kuzion It??? Tim Burton has done it yet again and you have played and amazing Wednesday Adams!!!!🖖 Did I mention the dance scene was freaking AWESOME!!!!
I think they cast the new Wednesday perfectly. At the same time they casted Christina Ricci as a nod to the last generation of Wednesday even though she played a different character. Also Tim Burton is the perfect director using his style.
I really, really do appreciate how Jenna recognizes that this is a different interpretation of the character and has leaned into it. While I certainly love seeing a character be the same regardless of the person behind the story itself, I also just adore it whenever a character is malleable enough to shift with the narrative.
"And serial killers." "Everyone whould know i failed to get the job done." She could totally go down that path, buth just dosent want to. Love Jenna's portayal
I love this show and Jenna Ortega, she is so great to watch, but I kind of feel bad for the older Wednesday characters that didn't get mentioned after this interview. I didn't grow up with them either but I have heard about them since this show for example Lisa Loring. Any case moving on. Jenna has made this role her own and I am really enjoying it. She is doing so great. Love it!!!!!
I don’t think she realizes how good she is in this series. I also don’t think she gives herself enough credit. Wednesday was sooooo good and awesome. I’m literally obsessed with her 💜
Yep
@Mauris Delos Santos like I said everyone is entitled to their own opinion. You think I’m obsessed ? Okay. Just giving out some credit where it’s due.
Girls are magical; boys are irrelevant. Girls are indestructible; boys are weak. Girls are amazing; boys are toxic. Every boy in America is getting this message loud and clear every day of his life. Reckon what the fruit of this will be in the coming decades.
DOESN’T!
Yea if she wasn't this good series would FLOP hard.
This interview just made the show 10x better for me. Jenna is immensely talented and wise! So happy we all get to witness this reimagination of a character and family we adore
@Ephyew You must be his best customer!
@Mister Human Spider👽 I’m hoping 🙏🏼
@Justvibin please tell my season 2 will be also filmed there 🙏🏽
@Mister Human Spider👽yes they filmed in Bucharest 🇷🇴
im scared :(
As someone who played the violin as a child, I have to say Jenna did a really a great job with the cello. It always annoys me when actors don't match he bowing/fingering of the music, but she nailed it.
Yes!!
What annoys me is when singers pretend to play the guitar, the strumming totally fake at a constant wrong speed not touching the strings.
Isn’t it so cool too that she just learned cello FOR THIS ROLE!?! Jenna Ortega clearly has what it takes to go really far as an actress… wow.
What I hate is singers pretending to play the guitar on stage, the strumming is so fake.
I play the cello, and her playing seemed very good! it would have helped if it didn't sound like she was playing all 5 instruments at once of Vivaldi's Winter, but still very good in this day and age.
Im a musician and the joy of me seeing her hit her cello notes accurately was so satisfying 😭
Yes this!!!
@Chloe Adams she didn’t play what was shown I’m sure they dubbed it with a professional
You are a geek 🤓
Like when she was playing paint it black and there was a moment of pizzicato and she was bowing made me LOL but aesthetically she looked like a pro 🖤
@Caitlyn B. Oh, you mean the pizzicato. I just rewatched it and It is true that there is a slight instance where her playing didn't match up to the soundtrack. It seems as though she was given incorrect direction in order to mime. But overall lets cut her some slack she only had 8 months of practice...
I love how she actually wants to pursue playing the cello. As a classical musician, it made me happy to see an actor play this wonderful instrument so well.
Jenna Ortega's level of humility is super refreshing to see. I hope her career continues to sky rocket!
Same with Tim Burton ❤️
Absolutely....I love her sarcasm and you know her IQ is off the chart.
Jenna did an awesome job preparing and portraying Wednesday!
Was she really shooting this Wednesday series in Romania?
I got an article reccomended yesterday about how this was the hardest role she ever played because the people responsible for the adaptation had different ideas of the character in mind and because of other circumstances. Seeing that article pop-up I assumed this was a flop, but seeing everybody here raving about her performance just makes me incredibly impressed that she seems to've pulled off a great performance despite the irregular non-optimal circumstances.
She is such a little jewel. She’s a great actress and has real passion for what she does
Jenna seems like such a nice and hardworking person, like she really committed to her character. And the way she explains stuff too idk how to explain
He does have a sweetheart
@🏠SN Treehouse 💜 nah
Was she really shooting this Wednesday series in Romania?
Yeah I'm in love with her too
It’s almost like a she’s a professional at speaking in a way
The hours she's been working... it's insane ! Big respect for her amazing performance
You can tell how much love and how passionate Jenna is when talking about acting she's definitely going to go very far in her career, I Think she’ll win a Oscar in the future for sure she’s such an amazing actress already, I’m rooting for her, and can’t wait to see what she does next :)
I love Jenna’s personality, and she’s also insanely beautiful, talented and intelligent.
her thought processes and her knowledge just make her the coolest person ever
She has way more knowledge and self-awareness than so many actors 20 to 30 years older than her. She's going to go so far in this business.
@miss womble yeah but not to long
@D.L. Walker Thanks but I knew that. Many have more years and yet less knowledge and respect. Years in doesn't equate to success or wisdom.
@pax exactly why I said 20 and 30 years older. Thanks.
@tyr Well.. she has been acting for 11 years and has already been the lead on a TV series. This ain't her first Rodeo
@paxkey word Older
She is highly educated in her craft and medium - and yet she’s also a very intuitive actor with great passion and depth of feeling.
I don’t know why Glenn Close keeps coming back to mind when I think of Jenna Ortega. Perhaps it’s that superb balance between talent and craft - or the love and attention to scary, unconventional roles.
Either way, if there is any justice in this world, this young lady is going to go very far and become a mega star.
She’s so smart!!!! I love listening to her. Captivated.
This was such an amazing show. I’m 28 y/o and I know it’s a teen show but it was great wow. My favorite part is every time it looks or feels like she’s gonna smile she doesn’t at all. I live it 🤣
Come on, me being 32 also in love with her character Wednesday. Age doesn't matter yo
Jenna played her version of Wednesday flawlessly! She did my whole childhood justice! 🥰
Shes smart and talented...she knows a lot about movies and acting styles etc.. cant wait to see her in future projects.
The fact that she learned the cello for this role shows how much of a dedicated actor she is. As a cello, bass, violin, piano, and guitar player it’s not easy to learn how to play the cello in such short times.
@noodleiswholesome She learned how to play to look authentic. She wasn't actually playing the song. That was the band Apocalyptica.
I've been playing the cello for 4 years and she learned more in 8 months than I ever have
@Manuel yes! when i heared her speak german i was so proud her pronounciaton was really good!
And her German lines where not half bad either :-)
🖤Finally a show that me and my teenage daughter can actually watch together, and somehow has brought us a little closer! So thank Mr. Tim Burton! I really hope for more than one season 🖤 🪢⚒️🕳⚰️🪦

Did this happen to someone else or just me ?
Perhaps you had heard of Kenny Ortega before and the last name stuck with you.
For Jenna she had a familiar face to me but I don’t actually think I’ve ever seen her in anything before so I get what you mean. It wasn’t her name but her face did that for me. Must means she is where she is supposed to be.
I've had similar things like this happen only not in those same situations
With Jenna: yes, Millie, no
Sounds like a kind of Mandela effect, but nah, it didn't happen to me, let's see how many likes you get, as an indicator that some people have the same feelings
Jenna is amazing, she's is going to be perfect as Wednesday
@IWantAFriend Netflix is picking up Google's bad habits
She’s a great actress
I'm eating takis and watching it
She's a dreadful actress and has a huge Hapsburg jaw looks like she could chew thru a brick wall.
She’s the hottest!!
Please make a serious out of this with other actors and actresses! This is a great style of video!! As fans we love hearing the inner workings of what the actors day to day life was during the show, ways they went about acting and filming, etc. Great video!
Hired
I loved her acting, she is talented and I fell in love with Wednesday character because of her amazing acting skills!
I have watch all the Addams shows ever made. Jenna knocked this out of the park in my opinion. I loved the series. Hope they can make a great season two.
this is one of the best interviews i've ever seen, she's so intelligent and articulated, jenna is v enjoyable to listen to/watch.
She’s actually the most suited actor for this role.. I couldn’t think of anyone else fit for Wednesday which is crazyyy to me
@MattDaBoneless great choice
Olivia Rodrigo :P
@AngeloVloggs this comment
Aubrey Plaza way better
Aubrey Plaza would've been way better.
I love the amount of respect she gives this character
Very interesting interview and insight. She's well articulated
Such an beautiful, intelligent and well spoken young lady. Loved the movie, watched it first day.
She is so talented and she was AMAZING in the show. Everyone involved was great, but I can't imagine anyone else playing Wednesday.
It's becoming a tradition for Netflix to drop the greatest shows right as the year ends. Last year it was Arcane, in 2022 it was Wednesday
First time seeing Jenna was as Wednesday. I am looking forward to her future projects. I am a fan. She’s amazing.
Your rendition of wednesday was absolutely amazing and you should be proud of what you've brought to the character.
It's so beautiful to see her play this role...she's so inspiring
That show was well-written. This young actress nailed it. Emmy time.
She is so clear spoken and articulate!!! I’m extremely jealous
@ᄏᄏᄏJIMINeutron If you’re in university or doing studies of any kind this should be within reach. In fact, I’ve seen 14 year olds as articulate as some intellectuals due to their reading habits.
@Underscorejed bro i am a 20 yr old woman and trust me when i say only few of my age can speak as good as her, wisdom wise and speech wise bruh
@oreo lmao
@a. o. any book recommendations? Pls
This is how normal people talk. If you don't talk like this, educate yourself and improve your skills.
I love how involved her mind is. My daughter is a long-time fan and I appreciate that this good natured and skillful, hardworking and sweet celebrity is a role model of hers. :)
She's nailing it every episode!! Nicely done 💯👍
You can tell how she loves playing this character 🙂
She did an excellent job, love the show !
I LOVE her!!!!! No one could have played a more authentic-feeling Wednesday!!!!
An intelligent and articulate girl. Love her!
Jenna was on point for this roll I hope she get a second season🤞🏼
Her micro expressions are incredible. Her face is so dainty and sharp, so it feels like all her expressions are amplified. This girl just absolutely nailed it
She’s such a well spoken dedicated actress. She was the perfect choice for sure.
@Sour Kraut Bratwurst not everyone is going to like her. A lot of people will always only love Christina’s Wednesday and that’s fine too. Sorry you didn’t like her.
Yeah right. She sucks as Wednesday...
Ok,mas eu não sei o que ela falou
Fr
exactly she was born for this role as Wednesday
She is more thoughtful and down to earth than 90% of Hollywood, I love her! She seems like a joy to have around, and I can’t wait to see her career blow up!
Thanks for being an amazing actress, honestly this show is the only show i really enjoy this year, because i actually get bored easily while watching other shows (mainstream ones)
What a talented articulate young actress she is as entertaining off screen as she is on.
I'll be following this one...
she is so cute and has such a seemingly sweet authentic personality. i love it definitely a fan
While she does an amazing rendition of Wednesday and I love her "unexpressive" look, Jenna has a lovely smile. Nice contrast to Wednesday.
She's an amazing actor 🖤
Yes
She was amazing. I cant believe this is the same person who played Wednesday.
She is an amazing actor. I am so far enjoying the episode. 😀
I was very nervous about this show because I adore the Addams family so so much but the acting and the portrayal was just so amazing and I was completely blown out of the water
I know she nailed Wednesday, but every character in the 8 episode nailed there parts, I was so happy when this first season ended, There was nothing for me to say with the exception of Lurch who did not give us a rolling of the eyes and low moan when things get to be too much. The hand grenade fishing scene was aswome while Gomez was in jail. Her stepping to hyde and giving him a you know what was so cute and left me aghast that nope no happilys but a different twist of the fates trying to rattle, destroy, and dominate Wednesday. But after so many years and a couple of attempts on the big screen the Adams Family truly has a story to tell, and l am wanting so much more. Props, Kudos too every single actor (i cried for my werewolfs coming of age scene) Dont kid yourself this Netflix release was something special, sabrina, animes, ummm anything this past year really did not leave me admiring faces, makeup, storylines, like this, world wide even this was my top pick for show of the year. love piece and but grease and I'm out.
I wasn't impressed by Luis Guzman. He looks the part of Gomez perfectly (as depicted in the original comics) but he just came across to me as a tryhard. Catherine Zeta-Jones, however, nailed it as Morticia.
Just the way Jenna speaks in her normal tone ans how Wednesday's voice sounds and what tone it has, amazing.
She is way too amzing and at the same time, she got an amazing and soothing VOICE ❤️❤️
I love how she recognizes to give herself grace when she says "my mom is an ER nurse, this is a Netflix show." She does a phenomenal job as Wednesday and I can totally tell this can't be an easy character to take on.
@Miguel J Martínez true, if u consider them "people".
@John D I think alot of people would think that way, people’s morals are backwards
@alina ; thank u very much:) have a great day
It's sad that saying the obvious things impresses ppl these days.. like, who would think the opposite?..
@natopal 08 shes basically saying at the end of the day, its just a tv show made for people to enjoy whilst her mom is out saving lives so its nowhere as serious or important for her to be intensely stressing over
Tim Burton is doing an amazing job with filming this hit. I agree, showing her expressionless and silently at times adds so many drama and makes her seem so more intelligent and in control. I’d love to see the outakes in scenes now that she said there were various versions shot.
Jenna Ortega is probably one of the most chill and down to earth actors in film history.
Christina was flawless as Wednesday..... true. Jenna was just as flawless IMHO. Wonderful show - would love to see more.
She is a great actress and the dance is a killer
I was like... She is born to play this character, she did it so well that I got carried away along with her dark humor, she is selfless and selfish at same time, she is brave and strong too... Also Catherina played her part well too... I wish they make a season 2
Season 2 has been announced
@Magic Monkey december of 2023??
They are! I'm ready!
C.Zeta J was perfect cast!
they will prob
She was fantastic in this role. A very talented person indeed. I can't wait to see her explore other roles
Oh my god! I want to see more of this intelligent actress! She is great that's Wednesday.
She did an amazing job, perfect.
‘My mum is an ER nurse’.
Your mum saves lives. Props to your mum! You, on the other hand, save our sanity with wonderful shows. 😄😄
That's cool ya mum is an ER nurse, saving lives 👏👏👏
@Gamez top collectibles It's spelled differently in different parts of the world. OP clearly spells it as "mum". As do I. No need to be rude about it.
She said Mom not mum watch it again.
And both following their heart.
I started watching this last night. Jenna you portrayed Wednesday to the next level. You are very intelligent. I'm hooked watching you ❤️❤️
She’s an awesome actor. Great show 😊
This young lady is a force! I just love her.
No one could do this character better than her❤
“My mom is in the ER and she saves lives” well said Jenna. I was already a fan after her role in You but after this video she’s easily one of my top ten actresses. Looking forward to seeing Netflix’s Wednesday today.
*Jenna
God Bless Amen 👼🏻🙏💛💕🛐🙏🏿😇💜💚🧡🤲🏻🕊️🙏🏻✝️
Literally same
Love It. She channeled the character of Wednesday for sure. All my boyfriend say is let's watch Wednesday, let's watch Wednesday. 😂 Good show, we love the Addams Family.
My expectations was very low for this series but I was blown out of the water with how good it actually was and how good Jenna did as Wednesday.
Same here. Then it made sense when I found out Tim directed it
I would really like to see her/any actor talk about the schedule of acting more and if it was worth it because I am thinking of going into acting and I would really like some insight of that
u did a remarkable job. cant wait to get a second season. love ur character...
Amazing, precise yet long. Wow. Enjoyed every second of this. Flawless 🖤
She’s awesome in many ways and no one can change my mind
She did an Amazing job!!!
What an amazing actress. Kudos.
This series might be the best casting I’ve seen in years, Netflix really outdid themselves, the entire adams family is perfect
@BILL MURRAY I think Raul and Angelica were a good Gomez and Morticia as leads for the The Addams Family movies in the 90s. In 2022, the actors of Morticia and Gomez were a good casting choice for the TV series based on th pov of their teenage daughter, Wednesday, whose the lead. Casting and Concept would be different given the director and time.
Gomez was a No for me
Literally love them
@Twenty One Tortas I like how you think you know how he should be portrayed, like Tim Burton doesn't know what he's doing with his own characters. It's people like you this world doesn't need. People who can't stand change and are threatened by it
@R I think Tim Burton knows how to write for his own characters. It's funny how you keyboard warriors think you know what's best. If you don't like it, don't watch it.
I binge watched this show, and you did an awesome job.
She was amazing and a perfect fit! I think the only other person who could have given her a run for her money is Aubrey Plaza
As a cellist, this made me smile a lot.
I was vehemently against making a new Wednesday Addams. HOWEVER!
This reprisal is both familiar and fresh. I appreciate the fact that she acknowledges the flawless, high bar Christina Ricci set for the role and that she reached it in her own way, through her own talent.

@pearldiver78 can you be a little more detail please? Like which scene and how was that mean?
ITS SO GOOD
The style reminded me of Johnny Depp a lot.
For the record you seriously killed the Wednesday Adams Character!!! I have always had a connection to Wednesday being the smart one in my family who is so misunderstood hellbound on truth and justice for those who could not deliver justice themselves!!!! I Love this Wednesday Adams!!! And I seriously hope this series goes on and on!!!! And Please tell me we are gonna see Kuzion It??? Tim Burton has done it yet again and you have played and amazing Wednesday Adams!!!!🖖 Did I mention the dance scene was freaking AWESOME!!!!
Being as OG of an Addam's Family fan as i can be at 31 years old, i had to learn more about her; she crushed it!
I think they cast the new Wednesday perfectly. At the same time they casted Christina Ricci as a nod to the last generation of Wednesday even though she played a different character. Also Tim Burton is the perfect director using his style.
Having tim burton say
" that was dark" is phenomenal!?!?
And the line
About high school formation... in ep1
" I appreciate the sadism"
Spectacular actress 👏 🙌 ❤️ Bravo 👏 🙌
Great choice to portray Wednesday.
Absolutely loved Wednesday. Brilliant series. Watched it in 2 days.
Shes what they call, very easy on the eye , you just can keep watching her talk and talk lol 😆
I really, really do appreciate how Jenna recognizes that this is a different interpretation of the character and has leaned into it. While I certainly love seeing a character be the same regardless of the person behind the story itself, I also just adore it whenever a character is malleable enough to shift with the narrative.
@The Faerie Prince it's impossible for her to play the character the same when they are put in completely different situations.
@ Beeben I'm not stating opinions
@WhyAmIHere your stating opinions 🤦🏽🤣🤣🤣 and I can see why they are so flawed🤣🤣🤣.
@ Beeben I don't have a bias, I'm just simply stating the facts
@WhyAmIHere that your assumption 🤷🏽. I could make a similar assumption on your bias.
jenna played the role very well i feel like i need to rewatch the show
"And serial killers."
"Everyone whould know i failed to get the job done."
She could totally go down that path, buth just dosent want to. Love Jenna's portayal
I love this show and Jenna Ortega, she is so great to watch, but I kind of feel bad for the older Wednesday characters that didn't get mentioned after this interview. I didn't grow up with them either but I have heard about them since this show for example Lisa Loring.
Any case moving on. Jenna has made this role her own and I am really enjoying it. She is doing so great. Love it!!!!!
she so well spoken and hard working i love her
