Wednesday Addams is the titular fictional character of the Netflix television series Wednesday. Based on the character of the same name by Charles Addams, she is portrayed by Jenna Ortega. A psychic student at Nevermore Academy, Wednesday uses her powers to investigate murders and prevent foreseen deaths. Although Wednesday shares much in common with her previous iterations, the series creators sought to give her emotional complexity in an attempt to humanize the character.

Considered a pop culture icon, this iteration of Wednesday Addams has been received positively. Jenna Ortega's performance as Wednesday has received critical acclaim, while the role elevated her to greater fame.

Concept and creation

[edit]

Background

[edit]
Further information: Wednesday Addams

The character that would eventually become known as Wednesday Addams was introduced in June 1940 in a single-panel comic created by American cartoonist Charles Addams.[d] In 1944, the unnamed, young girl joined the rest of her "satirical and often quite macabre" family in her official debut in The New Yorker.[11][9][10] The girl was characterized by her black dress, Peter Pan collar, pigtails, melancholy, and macabre nature, though the latter was the least noticeable of the family.[11]

Lisa Loring as Wednesday Addams in 1964

In 1964, Addams' comics were adapted into television, with the series The Addams Family. For the series, the young girl was given a name, Wednesday, inspired by a line from the nursery rhyme "Monday's Child". Wednesday, portrayed by Lisa Loring, was adapted into a normal child who contrasted with the rest of her family. A short-lived 1973 animated series also kept Wednesday's more normal disposition.[11]

The character was changed drastically for the 1991 feature film, turning her into a "true goth icon". Wednesday, now portrayed by Christina Ricci, was adapted into a preadolescent, sarcastic, cold, homicidal character. In the 1993 sequel, Wednesday was able to show her potential as a main character for the first time, leading the film's subplot. The 1990s films revived interest in The Addams Family and Wednesday in particular, making her largely the main character of the franchise moving forward. At a time when grunge was culturally prominent, Wednesday became a "leading figure for the gothcore movement". Wednesday's personality in these films was kept in most future installments.[11][12]

Adaptation

[edit]

In 2019, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, best known for their television series Smallville, began conceptualizing a series which would explore "what it would be like to hang out with teenage Wednesday Addams".[1][13] While they made Wednesday a continuation of the character as she was presented in the 1990s films,[a] they also made her a teenager since that was an era of her life that had not yet been explored.[1] Envisioning the series as a character study,[1] Gough and Millar sought to give Wednesday emotional complexity.[14] The series was also pitched with the idea of humanizing the character.[15]

Jenna Ortega portrays Wednesday Addams

In May 2021, Jenna Ortega was cast in Wednesday as the title character.[16] Ortega was initially uninterested in the role as she was seeking to transition from television to film but director Tim Burton convinced her on the series' potential.[15] Gough and Millar sought a Latina actress to play Wednesday in honor of Gomez Addams' heritage.[17] Ortega, who had been compared to Wednesday her entire life, was considered perfect for the role immediately as she brought a desired "empathy" to the character.[18][17][19] The cast did not have time for rehearsals upon their arrival on set, forcing Ortega to start training and filming immediately.[15] She had to learn several skills for the role, including playing the cello, speaking German, fencing, archery, and canoeing.[20] Ortega refrained from blinking as the character, while also using the Kubrick stare.[21] Despite Wednesday's lack of emotion in her expression and voice, Burton and costar Emma Myers have commented on Ortega "acting with her eyes", with Burton comparing it to silent film.[19][22]

Ortega contributed to the character beyond her performance. She signed onto the series anticipating a dark tone but was surprised to read that the scripts were written for younger audiences. Not wanting to see a character that she respected change too much for a teen series, Ortega fought to "protect" Wednesday, later saying: "I don't think I've ever had to put my foot down more on a set in a way that I had to on Wednesday." The actress simultaneously campaigned to make the character more three-dimensional, while also pushing against over-humanization that would "make her any other teenage girl". Considering much of Wednesday's characterization and storyline to be nonsensical, Ortega changed many of her lines. Ortega ultimately had Burton's support on her vision for the character, though the two disagreed on the proper amount of emotion for Wednesday to show. Burton wanted Wednesday to be expressionless in the episodes he directed, while other episode directors also had their own visions for the character. Ortega felt that she did not always have others' trust in creating her character's emotional arc. There were "a lot of battles" on set regarding the character.[23][15][24]

While not straying too far from Wednesday's established black-and-white look, Colleen Atwood's costume team nonetheless sought to modernize her wardrobe.[25] They introduced Wednesday in her vintage dress as a tribute to past works and to establish her as an outsider in a contemporary world, but her transfer to Nevermore Academy "opened the floodgates for creativity".[26][27] The vintage dress was replaced with clothes such as a custom school uniform, hoodies, and pants.[25][15] Her casual looks were made to remain faithful to the character while also making her more relatable,[25] with Atwood commenting that she "wanted Wednesday to be a person that, like the other kids, went out and did things".[26] Burton also considered it important that the character look different from previous iterations, approving the bangs suggested by Ortega.[15]

Character biography

[edit]

Background

[edit]

Wednesday Addams was born into a wealthy, eccentric, American family. When Wednesday was six years old, while taking her pet scorpion Nero for a walk one day, bullies ambushed her and killed Nero in front of her. After burying and grieving her pet, Wednesday vowed to never cry again, assessing that her tears did not fix anything. Despite having perfect grades, her education was troubled; by the time she was fifteen years old, she had attended eight schools in five years, ending with her current school, Nancy Reagan High School in New Jersey. While attending Nancy Reagan, she began having psychic visions but refused to tell her family about them.[28][b][c]

Season 1

[edit]

Wednesday is expelled from Nancy Reagan High School after mutilating her brother Pugsley's bully with piranhas. She transfers to her parents' alma mater, Nevermore Academy, a boarding school for "outcasts", outside Jericho, Vermont. Wednesday meets and forms tense or uncertain relationships with several people at her new school, including Principal Weems, werewolf roommate Enid, housemaster Thornhill, town resident Tyler, and others. She also uncovers her spy, a sentient disembodied hand named Thing, and secures his allegiance. While attempting to escape from the school, Wednesday is nearly murdered by a classmate, who cites a prophecy that Wednesday will destroy Nevermore. To prevent her greatest fear of being responsible for something terrible, Wednesday decides to remain at the school to investigate the local murders and prophecy.[28][29]

While doing so, she helps prove her father's innocence of murder, learns that she is a type of dark psychic known as a Raven, becomes romantically closer to Tyler, and admits to Enid that she is evolving as a person. Her uncle Fester informs her that the monster that she is looking for is a "Hyde", an enslaved person that can become a murderous monster at the whims of their master. Tyler and Thornhill are revealed as the Hyde and his master, respectively. Thornhill murders Weems and uses Wednesday to resurrect a genocidal colonist to fulfill the prophecy of Nevermore's destruction. Thornhill, Tyler, and the colonist are defeated by Wednesday and her allies. Having avoided emotional intimacy with her classmates until now, Wednesday shares a hug with Enid. While going home for the summer, Wednesday receives a threatening text message from an unknown stalker.[30][31][4]

Season 2

[edit]

Wednesday spends her summer mastering her psychic ability, using it to apprehend a serial killer. Willingly returning to a school for the first time, she receives a hero's welcome to Nevermore. Wednesday reunites with Enid, who she now considers a friend, but sees a premonition that she will be responsible for Enid's death. Wednesday begins an effort to save her roommate's life but loses her psychic ability. Enid is kidnapped and nearly killed by Wednesday's stalker from last year, Agnes, who begins assisting Wednesday's investigation. Wednesday's investigation leads her to a local asylum, where she accidentally frees Tyler, who defenestrates her and places her in a coma.[5][32][33]

Wednesday is awoken from her coma by her new spirit guide, Weems. With the help of allies, Wednesday attempts to bring a threatening Tyler under her control, but the plan fails. Weems informs Wednesday that tension with her mother caused the loss of her psychic ability. A supernatural accident during Wednesday's investigation causes her to swap bodies with Enid; the two come into further conflict with Tyler's family but are able to return to their bodies. The premonition of Enid's death is resolved but replaced with a new premonition of an unknown Addams' death. Seeking to prevent this, Wednesday hunts Tyler's family. Enid informs Wednesday that, since she is an "alpha" werewolf, a transformation under a full moon will likely result in her becoming a werewolf permanently and being hunted. Wednesday agrees to rescue her if this occurs. After Wednesday helps defeat the nefarious school principal, Pugsley is kidnapped by Tyler's uncle Isaac. While attempting to save her brother, Wednesday is buried alive by Isaac. She is unearthed by Enid, who transformed under a full moon to save her. Enid flees. The Addams family rescues Pugsley and defeats Isaac. After connecting with her mother and beginning a journey to rescue Enid, Wednesday regains her psychic ability, seeing a vision of her missing aunt Ophelia.[e]

Reception and impact

[edit]
A fan cosplaying as the character in 2023

This iteration of Wednesday Addams has received a positive reception from fans and several publications. According to a TV Time viewer poll, Wednesday was the most popular television character of 2022.[38] Digital Spy's Janet Leigh has praised the character's depth, believing that it makes her more interesting and overall better than her previous iterations.[39] Some of the character's relationships have been received positively; Wednesday and Thing were nominated for the 2023 MTV Movie Award for Best On-Screen Duo,[40] while Wednesday and Enid's friendship has been ranked by MovieWeb's Grace Amadi as the most heartwarming in television.[41] Wednesday has been ranked as one of the greatest Netflix characters of all time.[f] Although Wednesday did not make her top-12 list, Collider's Christine Persaud mentioned the character when discussing the greatest television characters of the 2020s,[45] while Digital Spy has ranked her as the 46th greatest female television character of the 21st century.[46]

Jenna Ortega's performance as Wednesday has received critical acclaim.[47] She has received several honors for the role, including two Golden Globe Award nominations for Best Actress – Television Series Musical or Comedy and an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.[48][49] Although Ortega was already an established actress, Wednesday has been credited with greatly increasing her fame and making her a household name.[50][23]

Several journalists have also offered criticism for the character, mostly in comparison to previous iterations. The Inquirer's Joseph Atilano has disagreed on the character being the superior iteration of Wednesday Addams, comparing her unfavorably to "Ricci's Wednesday" and criticizing her reduced deadliness as well as her morality.[51] Collider's Kylie Krabbe has derided the character's privilege as a betrayal of her intended subversiveness.[52] Taking into account the character's long-standing status as a queer icon, Them's Abby Monteil considered Wednesday's lack of a queer romance to be a "missed opportunity".[53]

The character's impact has been noted. This iteration of Wednesday Addams has been described as a pop culture icon,[g] while Times Now has called her a "Gen Z icon".[56] After the series' release, Wednesday was considered influential in fashion, inspiring a "goth revival".[h] According to Who What Wear's Yusra Siddiqui, "Burton and lead costume designer Colleen Atwood were able to redirect the morbid aesthetic and bring it to the heights of the current pop cultural zeitgeist."[59] The Guardian's Chloe Mac Donnell has called Wednesday the "perfect poster girl" for dark academia, an Internet aesthetic that gained popularity in the early 2020s.[60] Inverse's Dais Johnston has given Wednesday much credit for the success of her series,[61] which included two of the top five most-viewed Netflix seasons of all time as of June 2026.[62]

Analysis

[edit]

Comparing the character to her previous iterations, Screen Rant's Megan Hemenway considered this Wednesday to be perhaps the most unique,[63] while Collider's Elisa Guimarães has considered the character a combination of all her previous iterations.[64] Guimarães further muses that "the show creates a cohesive narrative for its titular character that suggests that all those Wednesdays of the past are maybe just multiple facets of the same girl".[64] Inverse's Dais Johnston has observed Wednesday's character change in the second half of the first season, which "allows her to grow from an amusing side character into a protagonist in her own right."[61]

Digital Spy's Charli Clement has considered Wednesday to be neurodivergent-coded, while pondering whether the character's pretty privilege, fictionality, and unconfirmed diagnosis allow her to serve as a good representation.[65] According to Game Rant, fans have interpreted Wednesday's dynamic with her roommate as evidence of her being potentially an LGBTQ character,[66] while Den of Geek's Brynna Arens has interpreted one particular scene as an allusion to her potential bisexuality.[67] Salon's Kelly McClure has found literature to be a prominent theme of the character in the second season, noting how Wednesday is awoken from her coma after a reading of Macbeth, among other examples.[68]

  1. ^ a b c Gough and Millar explained in an essay to the Los Angeles Times: "The show owes a debt to the illustrious writer Paul Rudnick, who worked on the 1990s movies and perfected Wednesday's deliciously dark verbal wit, and Christina Ricci, whose meme-worthy performance elevated the role to iconic status."[1]
  2. ^ a b After Wednesday's expulsion from Nevermore in Season 1 Episode 8, Thornhill remarks that she thought Wednesday "would be halfway to New Jersey by now".[4] The Addams family's limousine is shown to have a New Jersey license plate in Season 2 Episode 1.[5] Outside the series, New Jersey is considered the traditional home of the Addams Family.[6]
