Wednesday creators explain how Jenna Ortega was ultimately cast in the titular role, as they searched for the actor who met their benchmark.
Wednesday creators Al Gough and Miles Millar provide more insight into how Jenna Ortega was cast in the titular role of the Netflix series. Based on Wednesday Addams of the beloved Addams Family television series, Netflix's Wednesday quickly became a popular culture phenomenon and one of the streaming service's most successful series. One of the many factors that contributed to this success was the highly praised performance of Ortega as Wednesday.
Gough: "Netflix had given us a list of actresses that they liked and Jenna was definitely on that list." Gough: "The lead of any show becomes your collaborator in the show, they just do. It’s just inevitable. And this character, there’s a precision to it. There’s a precision to Jenna’s performance, there’s a precision to how the character’s written, there’s a precision to what Tim does, and we all had many conversations about it because you’re just trying to make sure you’re landing the plane on a very small aircraft carrier in a very big ocean.
