The Character Wednesday Addams has always been a household name, with many dressing up as her for Halloween. This Netflix series has been all people can talk about since its release date. Here are three reasons to give this show a watch. 

Wednesday Addams Times Two 

Jenna Ortega—who plays a teenage version of Wednesday Addams – acts alongside Christina Ricci. Christina starred as Wednesday Addams in the 1991 film, The Addams Family, and its 1993 sequel Addams Family Values. This creates an interesting dynamic and paradox between the two actors and their past/current versions of Wednesday.

Moodier Than Ever

Director Tim Burton explores and develops the character Wednesday Addams as a teenager who is off to boarding school and learns to navigate high school. Ortega describes how “Wednesday’s biting remarks make her sound like every other teenager.”

From Fighter to Beauty 

Game of Thrones star Gwendoline Christie has taken on a new role as Principle Larissa Weems in the series. She explains how closely she worked with the design department to enhance your feminine characteristics. “This is the first time I have felt beautiful on screen,” Christie has said in interviews.
