Wednesday Trailer Proves Jenna Ortega Is Perfect For The Addams Family (Screen Rant)

It may be surprising that Jenna Ortega can portray the sadistic Wednesday Addams so well when considering her past horror roles. As a modern scream queen, Ortega has come to film notoriety through her characters that are trying to evade the murder sprees ...

Of course, Wednesday is still the protagonist of the series whose interests in the macabre are part of what makes her so popular, so this won’t be a case in which audiences are rooting against Ortega’s character. [Wednesday](https://screenrant.com/tag/wednesday/) trailer proves Jenna Ortega was the perfect choice for the new [Addams Family](https://screenrant.com/tag/the-addams-family/) show. In Scream (2022), X, You, The Babysitter: Killer Queen, and Studio 666, Ortega is playing a character who runs from the killer, whereas Wednesday sees her as a death-obsessed figure intent on torturing others. Already known as an up-and-coming scream queen, Ortega brilliantly nails the deadpan tone and startling murderess personality of Wednesday Addams that Ricci perfected in the 1990s movies. Ricci’s performance has long been considered the golden standard for the young version of Wednesday Addams, whose deadpan sarcasm, gothic style, and morbid obsessions made her a pop culture icon. Wednesday is helmed by gothic horror master Tim Burton, who was originally eyed to direct The Addams Family’s 1990s duology.

'Wednesday' Trailer Teases High School Mayhem for the Addams ... (Hollywood Reporter)

Co-showrunner Alfred Gough said he and Millar have “no comment on Uncle Fester,” with the writer telling fans to simply “watch the show.” “It’s not trying to be the movies or the ’60s TV show. “I think I’m going to love it here.” [previously teased](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/netlflix-wednesday-not-a-remake-reboot-1235200230/) that the series was not going to be a reboot or a remake of [The Addams Family](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/t/addams-family/), but its “own thing” and hopefully one that would play like “an eight-hour Tim Burton movie.” That was very important to us and very important to Tim.” “It’s something that lives within the Venn diagram of what happened before, but it’s its own thing,” he said. Burton serves as both director and executive producer on the eight-episode series slated to debut this fall. Nearly all of the Addams Family is teased in the trailer, including the disembodied hand Thing, but a notable absence from the preview is Uncle Fester, who also does not appear in the show’s first look photos. Described by her father Gomez (Luis Guzmán) and mother Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) as a “magical place,” Nevermore offers Wednesday the promise of a community of people who will understand her along with the possibility of making real friends. “Little did I know I’d be stepping into a nightmare — full of mystery, mayhem and murder,” Ortega’s Wednesday says, amid a confetti-filled montage (including some Easter eggs) that ends in blood.
