- When Jenna Ortega got an email from Tim Burton to play Wednesday Addams, she thought it was a prank since the actor has been compared to Wednesday for most of her life. She takes us through her entire process of auditioning and preparing for her role as the iconic Wednesday Addams in the new Netflix series 'Wednesday.' From learning cello to consulting the original Wednesday, Christina Ricci, Jenna spills all on how she gets in (and out) of character.
Wednesday is available to stream on November 23rd exclusively on Netflix.

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
She is so clear spoken and articulate!!! I’m extremely jealous
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 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 💜
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.
She’s such a well spoken dedicated actress. She was the perfect choice for sure.
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
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.
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
‘My mum is an ER nurse’.
Im a musician and the joy of me seeing her hit her cello notes accurately was so satisfying 😭
Jenna did an awesome job preparing and portraying Wednesday!
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
Jenna Ortega's level of humility is super refreshing to see. I hope her career continues to sky rocket!
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 only watched 3 episodes, but I think Jenna did an tremendous job. Wednesday is emotionless at the first view, but she is never stiff or robotic. There is so much emotion that she managed to show through subtle eyebrow play or relaxing her face muscles. Great great job!
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.
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.
The hours she's been working... it's insane ! Big respect for her amazing performance
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.
