Starring Jenna Ortega and Georgie Farmer Wednesday is an American supernatural horror-comedy television series based on the character Wednesday Addams from The Addams Family. Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, it stars Jenna Ortega as the тιтle character, with Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Isaac Ordonez, Gwendoline Christie, Riki Lindhome, Jamie McShane, Fred Armisen, and Christina Ricci in supporting roles.
Four of the eight episodes are directed by Tim Burton, who also serves as executive producer. It revolves around the тιтle character, who attempts to solve a monster mystery at her school. Burton was previously ᴀssociated with two Addams Family-related projects: the 1991 film, which he turned down, and a cancelled stop-motion animated film. In October 2020, it was reported that he was directing a television series, which later received a series order from Netflix.
Filming took place in Romania between September 2021 and March 2022. Wednesday premiered on November 16, 2022, and premiered on Netflix on November 23 to generally positive reviews from critics, who praised Ortega’s performance but found some similarities to the CW dramas. Within two weeks of its premiere, it became Netflix’s third most-watched English-language series.
