Jenna Ortega has been making a name for herself in the horror genre with several roles in the 2022 Scream sequel and Ti West's X, so it seemed only natural that she would be cast as Wednesday's teen who belongs to the Addams family.

Gina Ortega also starred in the Netflix series You as Ellie Alves.

The work also witnesses the participation of British star Catherine Zeta-Jones, plays Morticia Adams, Wednesday's mother and former student at Nevermore Academy. Appearing twice in this eight-episode series, Zeta-Jones really brings to life the "scary glamor" of the character.

Unexpected series!

At the beginning of the promotion of the upcoming work from Netflix. I expected it to be one of the cliché Netflix projects taken from the original works in the past, especially the story of the Addams family, which we grew up watching with the strangeness and darkness of the Addams family.

 I expected, Netflix to sabotage the story by introducing unnecessary elements and of course the introduction of homosexuality and spoiling the nature of the original story that characterized the Addams family.

But after watching the series. Holly molly! Gina Ortega might be the best Wednesday has ever played. Dark features. Dead face And cold feelings! It is clear that Gina Ortega will be bombarded with many scenarios after seeing the magnificence of her performance as Wednesday!.Also Katherine Jones was born to play the role of mother, Morticia Adams.

As watching further the series loop after loop, it's very good how the dialogue well written as well as full marks for the cast, cinematography and music selection. Regardless of all the positive points agreed upon. However, there are some loopholes that must be addressed. Especially the unnecessary Uncle Fester scenes...

But one of the favorite characters in the series is the hand "thing", although it is a hand with five fingers, but it plays a major and distinctive role in the series, and its scenes are among the best scenes in the series.

Despite the fact that Gina Ortega is neither a dancer nor a choreographer, her dance in the Wednesday series has become the most viewed clip on the Internet.

Gina Ortega designed the character's dance movements in the series, inspired by the movements of Gothic dancers in the eighties, and some of the movements from the old versions of the series also took some of Michael Jackson's famous Halloween movements.

Her dance clip has become the most requested view on Google engines, and some have suggested that it be classified as an iconic dance, such as that of John Trovolta and Uma Thurman in pulp fiction!
