When Jenna Ortega got an email from Tim Burton to play Wednesday Addams, she thought it was a prank since the actor has been compared to Wednesday for most of her life. She takes us through her entire process of auditioning and preparing for her role as the iconic Wednesday Addams in the new Netflix series 'Wednesday.' From learning cello to consulting the original Wednesday, Christina Ricci, Jenna spills all on how she gets in (and out) of character.
Wednesday is available to stream on November 23rd exclusively on Netflix.

Jenna seems like such a nice and hardworking person, like she really committed to her character. And the way she explains stuff too idk how to explain
I love the way she explains things
“Seems” NO honey she is
Lol* JK
In all her interviews, she is very articulate and while explaining she tries to elucidate the subject very clearly.
I haven't seen the show yet, but wasn't this supposed to be a comedy since its inception? I haven't seen the comedy. Is this just another teen growing up in a middle-class society and feeling alienated sort of rehash of a sow of a rehash of a show?
She is so clear spoken and articulate!!! I’m extremely jealous
I was thinking that too, it’s really impressive. Especially considering so many cameras and nerves involved lol
ikr
I mean shes a 20 year old woman
@@Underscorejed I’m guessing you never met any 20 year olds who aren’t like this.

As someone who played the violin as a child, I have to say Jenna did a really a great job with the cello. It always annoys me when actors don't match he bowing/fingering of the music, but she nailed it.
But in first episode they've shown an old woman's hands in close view and that kinda cut my eyes, that was so obvious that those are not her hands, and I didn't get why they needed to do that when in others episodes she did her cello job well
@@tantlord yeah, I noticed that too, but later medium shots showed her bowing and fingering.
I play the cello, and her playing seemed very good! it would have helped if it didn't sound like she was playing all 5 instruments at once of Vivaldi's Winter, but still very good in this day and age.
Isn’t it so cool too that she just learned cello FOR THIS ROLE!?! Jenna Ortega clearly has what it takes to go really far as an actress… wow.
Yes!!
I don’t think she realizes how good she is in this series. I also don’t think she gives herself enough credit. Wednesday was sooooo good and awesome. I’m literally obsessed with her 💜
ill counter your comment with - acting isnt difficult. getting discovered is. maybe she realises this?. maybe other actors feel too highly about themselves?. i think she has a great balance and mature outlook. aS she said, shes not saving lives every day.
Was she really shooting this Wednesday series in Romania?
@@timn4481 I wouldn't say that acting is the most difficult thing ever, it is not even the most difficult thing to do in the film industry... Actors are clearly overvalued, but I think you are going to the other extreme. Just watch independent and low budget films, and how often bad acting is extremely prevalent there. If it was just a matter of getting noticed, and it was as easy as you make it out to be, decent acting would be more common. Yet watching low budget films, is almost painful and sometimes hilarious, how bad acting is the norm. So of course, acting is not like being a doctor or a physicist. It is also not hard, in terms that it is not hard labor (Unless you do stunts). But I wouldn't say it is easy either. If it was, you would see more prevalence of good actors, but there isn't. Now, what might be too easy, would be typecast acting. Where the person doesn't even have to act, the character is way too similar to who they are in real life. So they just are themself.
@@mrhumanspider Yes
Everyone’s opinions are valid. Just sharing my thoughts on something I personally enjoy. To each is own. Stay blessed.
I love how she recognizes to give herself grace when she says "my mom is an ER nurse, this is a Netflix show." She does a phenomenal job as Wednesday and I can totally tell this can't be an easy character to take on.
Exactly what I came here to say, she is so humble! I'm excited for her to be a bigger part of the industry.
i did not really understand what she meant by that... could you please kindly explain?:)
@@natopal0819 shes basically saying at the end of the day, its just a tv show made for people to enjoy whilst her mom is out saving lives so its nowhere as serious or important for her to be intensely stressing over
It's sad that saying the obvious things impresses ppl these days.. like, who would think the opposite?..
@@alina-kl8vg thank u very much:) have a great day
She’s such a well spoken dedicated actress. She was the perfect choice for sure.
This was almost a master class. She is a very impressive actor.
...lol
exactly she was born for this role as Wednesday
Fr
Ok,mas eu não sei o que ela falou
Her micro expressions are incredible. Her face is so dainty and sharp, so it feels like all her expressions are amplified. This girl just absolutely nailed it
The fact that she learned the cello for this role shows how much of a dedicated actor she is. As a cello, bass, violin, piano, and guitar player it’s not easy to learn how to play the cello in such short times.
And her German lines where not half bad either :-)
@@ManuelDornbusch yes! when i heared her speak german i was so proud her pronounciaton was really good!
I've been playing the cello for 4 years and she learned more in 8 months than I ever have
@@noodleiswholesome5946 She learned how to play to look authentic. She wasn't actually playing the song. That was the band Apocalyptica.
Yes! We all love that about her, also want to mention that it wasn't just cello she learned, she learned fencing, archery, boxing (I believe), canoeing, German.
She’s actually the most suited actor for this role.. I couldn’t think of anyone else fit for Wednesday which is crazyyy to me
Aubry Plaza if she were younger would be perfect... maybe if there was an adult Wednesday movie or show she would be perfect
That's how our brain works.
I remember seeing the teaser for this months back where it was just Wednesday smiling while holding Thing and once I saw it was Jenna I immediately went “YES!!!” as I’ve seen her in movies and a show before that so I already saw her as the most fitting actress for Wednesday and never held a doubt. You can imagine how eager I was to wait for the show’s release and how happy and impressed I was with her when watching it.
@@MattDaBonelessAubry would be phenomenal istg
Ummmm....Meryl Streep?
‘My mum is an ER nurse’. Your mum saves lives. Props to your mum! You, on the other hand, save our sanity with wonderful shows. 😄😄
And both following their heart.
She said Mom not mum watch it again.
@@gameztopcollectibles It's spelled differently in different parts of the world. OP clearly spells it as "mum". As do I. No need to be rude about it.
That's cool ya mum is an ER nurse, saving lives 👏👏👏
As a nurse myself who has seen all the business, that little shoutout to her mom made me tear up. What she should know is that she is just as important, because after all the stress in the day, actors and comedians bring me levity and it's the first thing I go to to relax. We all heal each other and save lives in different ways.
Im a musician and the joy of me seeing her hit her cello notes accurately was so satisfying 😭
Some of them were like really off tho LOL, but you can definitely tell that she had learned some cello!
@@caitlynb.8282 I disagree, she wasn't off. She played all the notes correctly and that's impressive for someone who was only practicing for less than a year.
@@chloeadams8703 as a cellist, there were many notes that were off including the first entire portion of Paint it, Black when there was plucking, she was still bowing
@@caitlynb.8282 Oh, you mean the pizzicato. I just rewatched it and It is true that there is a slight instance where her playing didn't match up to the soundtrack. It seems as though she was given incorrect direction in order to mime. But overall lets cut her some slack she only had 8 months of practice...
Like when she was playing paint it black and there was a moment of pizzicato and she was bowing made me LOL but aesthetically she looked like a pro 🖤
Jenna did an awesome job preparing and portraying Wednesday!
I got an article reccomended yesterday about how this was the hardest role she ever played because the people responsible for the adaptation had different ideas of the character in mind and because of other circumstances. Seeing that article pop-up I assumed this was a flop, but seeing everybody here raving about her performance just makes me incredibly impressed that she seems to've pulled off a great performance despite the irregular non-optimal circumstances.
Was she really shooting this Wednesday series in Romania?
I was like... She is born to play this character, she did it so well that I got carried away along with her dark humor, she is selfless and selfish at same time, she is brave and strong too... Also Catherina played her part well too... I wish they make a season 2
Thisss!💯
Indeed
yessss
She kept referencing "the first season" so I'd imagine the second is already in the works!
The ending really hints at a season 2.
Jenna Ortega's level of humility is super refreshing to see. I hope her career continues to sky rocket!
Absolutely....I love her sarcasm and you know her IQ is off the chart.
Same with Tim Burton ❤️
I love how she actually wants to pursue playing the cello. As a classical musician, it made me happy to see an actor play this wonderful instrument so well.
I only watched 3 episodes, but I think Jenna did an tremendous job. Wednesday is emotionless at the first view, but she is never stiff or robotic. There is so much emotion that she managed to show through subtle eyebrow play or relaxing her face muscles. Great great job!
Wait til you see her reaction to a movie in one of the episodes. Just by looking at her eyes alone, she expressed so much without changing her facial expression much or at all even. That scene made me laugh and I’m only telling you this much because I found it funny when watching it myself and I think you’ll see how funny it is by watching.
there‘s this scene in the last few minutes where she says everything with just the twitch of an eyebrow… I loved the show and hope there will be a 2nd season.
She was smiling when she met her uncle and her facial expressions changed when she was being lord vader choked by the nerd
She even cried when thing was presumed dead
Fr she did so good amazing actress
I really, really do appreciate how Jenna recognizes that this is a different interpretation of the character and has leaned into it. While I certainly love seeing a character be the same regardless of the person behind the story itself, I also just adore it whenever a character is malleable enough to shift with the narrative.
Different? Shes pretty much playing the Christina Ricci version. I don't see a difference lol.
@@Prince_the_One Ricci brought in the idea that Wednesday should be blunt and monotone. Ortega is just building off on that idea and making Wednesday her own
@@ChaoticMushy By playing it the same
@@Prince_the_One but she's not playing it the same
@@ChaoticMushy we haven't seen it yet, so all I have to base it on is her in the teasers and she acts exactly the same as Christina Ricci. It just sounds like you're being emotional right now.
She has way more knowledge and self-awareness than so many actors 20 to 30 years older than her. She's going to go so far in this business.
shes 20.
@@going2pluto that is still young especially for a popular actor
Omg she is sooooo smart and aware and conscious she is woke and has a third eye
@@going2pluto I think they know her age 💀
Imagine how tired she must of been filming 12 hrs each day and still did a good job 👏🏽👏🏽 shes goin to be a big star ❤
The hours she's been working... it's insane ! Big respect for her amazing performance
My expectations was very low for this series but I was blown out of the water with how good it actually was and how good Jenna did as Wednesday.
Same here. Then it made sense when I found out Tim directed it
Honestly, my favorite part of how she portrays Wednesday is her micro expressions. She keeps her deadpan expression throughout the show but is able to make these small subtle changes, allowing the audience to see how she's really feeling. Which is important since Wednesday is the main character. It's so unique and fascinating to watch.
Those micro expressions are things I’ve only seen truly great actors do. An example is Anthony Hopkins in “The Remains of the Day.” But Jenna is 20 years old, and can already do this?!?
Same!! She does the TINEST little eye and head movements that are just genius
@@DeeEllEff I think 21 actually
Agree. There was one scene where she made a tiny little downwards movement of her eyes - and l knew exactly what she was thinking!
@@retrocobra2744 no she's 20
This series might be the best casting I’ve seen in years, Netflix really outdid themselves, the entire adams family is perfect
Disagree. No one will top Raul Julia as Gomez, and Catherine Zeta-Jones looks more like a stand-in for Angelica Huston.
@@billmurray7473 You're a loser
🧢
I disagree completely, everyone seems to be trying too hard. Gomez comes up as a creeper, Zeta-Jones’s Morticia tries but those shoes are way too big to fill in. Anjelica Huston’s Norticia is just too brilliant. I’m regards to Wednesday, there’s still something lacking, idk if it’s a because 30 years ago the character was something whe never saw before and today it’s more common to find a female character with a dead stare (Any character played with Aubrey Plaza). For me it was lacking that very thing that would make her an Addams. I do think that’s more due to the writing. Saying “Black Dahlia, named after one of my favourite y resolver homicides” it’s kind of lazy writing today. It won’t have the same shock it did 30 years ago. You’re average Joe might say that today (culture has shifted). But well, it also has Tim Burton in it who tries too hard to be anti establishment and ends up delivering the same every time (if it’s not a piece of his very own invention).
@@grazia23 I like how you said it is common to find a female character with a dead stare now a days and yet proceeded to name only one, Aubrey Plaza. Lmao.
She's like a perfect physical mix of Christina Ricci and Helena Bonham Carter...but with her unique mannerisms, charm, and wit. She's amazing! 🖤

Remakes or reimaginings often don't quite hit the mark for me, but as someone who was obsessed with the 90s Addams Family movies this show was perfection. I love that it captured the kooky spookiness of those films, whilst also paying homage to the original Addams Family roots AND bringing new life to the story. Jenna was superb and I want every piece of clothing that Wednesday wore stat!
I know right?! The outfits were amazing!!!❤
I couldn't agree more! So happy this was in the hands of Tim Burton because I enjoyed every second of this series. Hoping for a season 2!
My daughter came to love these characters as she grows up, and she was Wednesday for Halloween a few years ago. She LOVES EVERYTHING about WEDNESDAY!!!
I agree strongly.
tim burton never dissapoints
If tim burton says what you said is dark you really are fit for the role lmao
Does it anymore though?
@@grazia23 what
Jenna did a great job portraying Wednesday- she stayed true to the originals persona but added her own attitude. Loved the show
Agreed she inbodied Wednesday On and off set, 🖤 Jenna
She cared so much about her character. That's a rare trait these days.
“My mom is in the ER and she saves lives” well said Jenna. I was already a fan after her role in You but after this video she’s easily one of my top ten actresses. Looking forward to seeing Netflix’s Wednesday today.
Literally same

her thought processes and her knowledge just make her the coolest person ever
Dude she may have a lot of anxiety about playing such a beloved character but she never let that show. She was flawless! That dance scene killed! She put her all in it and that’s what showed. I’m glad she was cast as Wednesday.

She is showing more "self" than most of the celebrities in Hollywood these days, it's refreshing, I look forward to seeing her and her career grow.
Jenna Ortega was perfect as Wednesday, everyone in the show was casted incredibly well :)
Except the parents
@@lilyanais3287 I think the parents were well casted too
@@canislunaticus I mean, Uncle Fester was good, and Morticia was close enough (I would change some things in the way she emotes and the way she just is tho), but Gomez and Pugsley were really bad. Gomez lost all his natural charm and Pugsley was a glorified toddler in a bad way.
The cast is truly awful all of them
The cast was terrible.
Smash together Scooby Doo, Xmen and Harry Potter then sprinkle over some Stranger Things and you have Wednesday, Jenna will win an Academy Award for her role where she never blinks😳
Aren’t academy awards (oscars) for films?
I hope she does!🎉🎉
Ye that did give me Stranger Things vibes bc I just binged watched the whole thing last week
she did blink tho
You forgot about enola holmes plot twist
I pray and hope her parents AND manager protect her at any cost. This girl is gold. Shine, Jenna!
Wednesday deserves the hype it gets. And through this interview, we can say that Jenna is such a passionate and smart actress. She really embodied the role and made it hers.
Not only Wednesday but Jenna does have incredible vocabulary too, it's literally so impressive!
You don't need the word "literally" in there. It's literally useless. Drop it.
@@adriantrusca1245 Pls tell me this is meant as a joke hahahaha
@@adriantrusca1245 brooo😂 you just used it too
like totally
The fact that Tim Burton was a director and producer and Danny Elfman helped with the score should tell you something. Two masters of goth movies and music.
I think the music was over used and over done
Two masters of the 'hot topic ' movies . Burton is a hack.
What an articulate mature 20 year old! She’s doing a great job and will go far in her career! 💛
She's so well spoken
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE CELLO LESSONS??? SHE ACTUALLY LEARNED TO PLAY CELLO WTF A QUEEN
For the movie “Music of the Heart,” Meryl Streep learned to play the violin by practicing 6 hours daily for 4 days. I see this kind of dedication in Jenna.
I really appreciate it as someone who knows music coz it hurts when i watch movies playing intruments that’s not being played right
The fact that she’s MY AGE (20 years old!) and played a part like Wednesday really speaks volumes on her talent. She did so good as Wednesday and I loved the series! 😭🤎🤎🤎🤎
So What? Rocco was 10-11 years old when she first played her.
I didnt realize she was 20. When she listed her daily schedule i wondered why school/tutor wasnt on there
Wait,what!? Girl looks younger then me,but is 5 years older!?
She's so tiny too she looks so young
i thought she was 16 omggggg cant believe shes 20
Her version of Wednesday is quite intriguing and fun to watch. Jenna is definitely a new it girl in horror movies or series
I've never seen Wednesday, but I'll be watching now. Jenna seems like a great person and her characterization of Wednesday Addams is *perfect* .
you nailed the characer Jenna... hope you make more seasons
well the show is based on her ofc she would
Yes User-iq8yo4jm6e....I would Love To See Jenna Ortega do more seasons,as well..
@@jailuna2832 huh?
This interview made me appreciate her as a person and as an actress even more. You can see how professional she and how she attached to her character, how she studied her voice, her tone, her expressions. She worked very hard to leave no aspect to chance. There is no one more perfect to play Wednesday
She took an amazing character and made it her own, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. A true masterpiece. Well done Jenna Ortega!
jenna is so talented, she’ll definitely be one of those disney actors that are able to build a legacy for themselves outside disney.
Gosh you can just tell what a good head she has on her shoulders. She’s eloquent, has perspective and is self-aware, and seems completely comfortable in who she is and what she brings to the table. Jenna’s Wednesday is just awesome.

Even off screen she sounds amazing really educated and taking this profession seriously. Can't wait to see her in other projects
it's such a weird coincidence that they found practically a clone of Christina Ricci, with those white big egg eyes, and so weird that it was Jenna, an acress we've seen in so many productions, they could have never ever found such a perfect wednesday like jenna anywhere else

She is so good at subtle expression. Just the merest of facial emtoions and she can convey so much. Great actress and still so early in her carreer.
She did an amazing job as Wednesday. Loved the show. Sure hope Netflix picks it up for a season 2. The dance she did, which apparently she choreographed herself, was really good as well. It's exactly how I'd imagine Wednesday would dance.
Absolutely brilliant! She killed this role
Me too. I find it àlso hilarious and cute
IKR! Her voice is my favorite part hehe I just recently finished the last episode and I already can't wait for the second season
She was referencing S1 as if they were already planning S2 so I think we're safe 🥰
The dance moment is absolutely what sold me on her Wednesday She did such an incredible job
I am so amazed at how articulate she is 😮 I can’t even complete a sentence without ‘um’. She said so many stuff in that 9 mins I didn’t even notice the time 😂
As though there's card in front of her
This is scripted you dumbbell 🤦🏽
I'm telling ya, Jenna is going to have a career where she's so versatile. Kind of like a young female Johnny Depp in the best way, but completely unique.
I honestly can't stop watching this show. Jenna Ortega did an awesome job with being Wednesday and rest of the cast did an amazing job too. It's a show it's still Addams family with mystery. Can't wait until they start with more.
She better win an Oscar, Award, Grammy, etc. Her acting skills performance is fire. She's just a really good actress among her fellow actors. Very professional 100%

Me too 🤣 also in Europe Romania isn't even considered a rainy foggy place, there is enough sunlight. I guess Jenna just spent a lot of time indoors while working.
I love the amount of respect she has for Ricci's wednesday and for the lore as an actress. That's how you do a newer version of anything. Ypu pay respect and acknowledge what was previously done.
she is so intelligent and well spoken!

Love her as Wednesday. Truly a great actress. She seems like a hard worker and well informed. Hope she gets more projects.
Jenna did such a wonderful job with Wednesdays character. I couldn't imagine anyone else doing this character. She has absolutely nothing to worry about she really did it justice.
The only person I could think of do as good a role is Aubrey Plaza when she was younger.
@@bantxc5616 yes she does give off that vibe
I never noticed how perfect her face is for a Tim Burton film
With this role, she opened a door to many Tim Burton roles❤️
Unlike other young actors, she is so elegant and professional I would go around and express my thoughts about her without being criticized or looked down at.
Update: She killed it. That was an incredible performance, with such big black boots to fill she not only did so but she made them her own. That was some proper artistry on her behalf. Great casting, even better acting.
Not only is Jenna beautiful inside and out, but her intelligence shines brightly!
You know what?...Watching "Wednesday" gave me the acting side to Jenna Ortega. I absolutely loved the character she created. Hearing her words on the character gave me such a different perspective, and I fell in love with both the actor and the "new" character she created, such a 3D dimensional reiteration of the original Wednesday.
Jenna played her version of Wednesday flawlessly! She did my whole childhood justice! 🥰
She’s got a real talent and I bet she can play in a lot of registers, a real brilliant person.
Jenna fit the role of Wednesday perfectly 🖤 like it was scary how well she played her
Also fyi OG Wednesday (Cristina) was in the series too😌 playing the normie teacher
This was such an amazing show. I’m 28 y/o and I know it’s a teen show but it was great wow. My favorite part is every time it looks or feels like she’s gonna smile she doesn’t at all. I live it 🤣
Come on, me being 32 also in love with her character Wednesday. Age doesn't matter yo
I cried so hard when she and Enid hugged at the end 😭😭😭
Jenna bodied this role, I finished the 8 episodes yesterday and I loved it, it was humorous, suspenseful, and I especially loved the last scene with Enid, where they hugged, I got to see a different side of Wednesday, can't wait for S2❤️
She was awful in every way, the only people praising this Hapsburg jaw looking actress are her Stans 🤷🏽.
@@beeben5260 Okay perfectionist, how about you try acting as Wednesday and we'll see if you'll do half as well as she did, never watched her on any movie before this, I'm not the only one who thinks she deserves her flowers, there's a reason Wednesday has the most watched hours on Netflix, beating Stranger Things 4, IT WAS GOOD!!
@@chimbuchialimo59oh salty🤣. Yeah your a Stan popularity doesn't mean quality 🤷🏽. Not everyone is gonna enjoy the media you do nor agree with your opinion. Cope.
My first introduction to Jenna was when she played young Jane on Jane the Virgin. She always had such amazing screen presence and is so immensely talented! So amazing and professional at such a young age. Watching Wednesday and wow - she is killing it (no pun intended). Always blown away by her talent.
mine was stuck in the middle since i was born in 06, but when i did watch jtv last year i think, she played young jane so well
The first time a saw her was in You season 2 she did an amazing job
Still haven't finished that series (out of boredom, might go back to it when I feel like it XD lol), but no wonder she looked familiar!
wait that was her?? I totally forgot about that show tbh. I thought my introduction to her was “You”, guess I was wrong lmao
She’s always killed her small roles and she finally got her break!
she’s so well spoken. what a beautiful and talented person you are, jenna ortega!
Can't believe she's just 20 years old. In this inverview, she sounds too mature for her age.
Jenna Ortega is the reason why I plan on watching this show. Such a talented young actress with a whole lot of potential for the future.
I’ve always admired Jenna ever since she was in stuck in the middle. But I think her playing as Wednesday brings her acting skills to the next level. Even though she seems numb even out of character, she brings the role and character it’s own personality and her own type to it. She truly is one of the best actors I know
Shes smart and talented...she knows a lot about movies and acting styles etc.. cant wait to see her in future projects.
she is so eloquent compared to most of Hollywood and society, great to see!
