Jenna Ortega opens up about some dialogue she changed for WednesdayNetflix and explains why she wanted to tweak it: 'I felt like we were able to avoid a lot of dialogue in an attempt to make her sound human.'
Wednesday star Jenna Ortega has revealed that she needed to change some of her character's dialogue. Wednesday, the recent reboot of The Addams Family, sets itself apart by focusing on Wednesday's journey as a student in Nevermore Academy, a school for outcasts. While Wednesday gets to know werewolves, vampires, gorgons, and more supernatural creatures, she is also forced to solve a murder mystery while coping with the reality of life in a seriously atypical boarding school.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY With Wednesday being left to deal with school dances and typical high school drama, there are occasional moments where she has to comment on the reality of the situation. While that often meant insulting those around her, there are places where Ortega had to step in to correct the character before she could become too unrelatable. For Ortega and Christina Ricci, who both played Wednesday, the challenge of the character is balancing relatability.
I remember there's a line where I'm talking about a dress, and initially she was supposed to say, 'Oh, my God, I'm freaking out over a dress, I literally hate myself.' And I was blown away because that sounded like -- it was just a bunch of little things like that. I felt like we were able to avoid a lot of dialogue in an attempt to make her sound human.
Her inability to relate to even other outcasts is something that many people can also relate to. Considering how many people struggled with social relationships in high school, the fact that Wednesday is a stand-out as an outcast makes her remarkably understandable to anyone watching. Even Ortega's Wednesday dance shows off her personality, as it proves just how little Wednesday actually cares about the expectations of those around her.
What's Next For Wednesday Addams While Netflix can occasionally be stingy about TV show renewals, another season is on the way — even if the official announcement is still to come. Wednesday's showrunners have three to four seasons planned, meaning that they won't even need to change continuity to pull off Wednesday season 2. The showrunners have also discussed potential spin-offs surrounding the entire Addams family, and Wednesday would have a place in them all.
