Wednesday has set a new record for the most hours viewed during a week. It broke a previously held record by the fourth season of Stranger Things.
Jenna Ortega learned to play cello to fit the role better.
She also took German, fencing, and archery lessons.
Jenna completely staged the viral dance scene herself.
Victor Dorobantu, who played Thing in the TV series, is a professional magician.
Morticia Addams explained Wednesday’s name in the first episode. The character got her name from a line in the nursery rhyme Monday’s Child. Its key line reads as follows: “Monday’s child is fair of face, Tuesday’s child is full of grace, Wednesday’s child is full of woe.”
Ortega didn’t blink in any of her scenes. After accidentally filming one scene where Wednesday didn’t blink, Tim Burton got excited about this idea and asked Jenna to stop blinking in all future scenes.
Luis Guzman, the actor who plays Gomez Addams, faced a tsunami of negative comments. The fans of the Addams clan stated he was not tall and slender enough for the role and didn’t make an impression of a man who was capable of being the head of a big family.
But in fact, Luis Guzman is the perfect Gomez Addams for 2 reasons: he’s a talented, skilled actor who nailed this role and let’s not forget that the original Gomez Addams, from Charles Addams cartoons, was a short tubby man with a crooked tooth. So, what’s to argue about?
