The Wednesday series of nine episodes is a prequel to the popular American TV show, The Addams Family. It follows the secret adventures of Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) before she was bullied and sent to live with her un-cousin, Pugsley Addams. Critics say that this spinoff won’t be good because it lacks the charm and humor of its predecessor. Despite some critics claiming the episode will be lacking in charm and humor, many fans are excited to see what Jenna Ortega brings to Wednesday’s spinoff. The actress has been active on social media, posting teasers of the show including a video of her singing and playing the piano. “The fans are going to be shocked at what they see. This is not your average Wednesday. We’ve just touched the tip of the iceberg with who she is,” said Ortega. “It’s going to be a wild ride.” Rich Campbell from The Chicago Tribune agrees with Ortega, saying that The Addams Family Wednesday series will be darker than the original show and feature an edgier, less approachable version of Wednesday than fans are used to seeing.

Who are the director’s favorite characters and why?

The directors said that they were more interested in the character’s backstory rather than the main plot of a single episode. The directors are intrigued by her genius, masked looks, and her way of doing things.
How was Jenna Ortega’s character initially created?
It all started when a fan said that he would love to see an Addams Family spinoff in which Wednesday is the lead character. It was through this fan’s suggestion that the new show was created. The directors wanted to make sure that they weren’t going to make a simple spinoff and wanted to give it depth and context of being based on its source material. This series also featured stories from other characters’ perspectives such as Cousin It and Uncle Fester’s perspective as well as Gomez Addams’ from his perspective.
What themes does the Wednesday series explore?

What are the critics saying about Wednesday’s series?
The critics claim that this series won’t be good because it lacks the charm and humor of the original series. It will be an interesting show to watch but its humor and feel will not be the same as the one of its predecessor. “Essentially, Wednesday is a spinoff. And, in truth, that’s no surprise at all,” said Rich Campbell with The Chicago Tribune. “While its experimental format may make some viewers jittery, Wednesday stands out thanks to fresh themes and compelling performances.” “The Addams Family Wednesday” is much darker than its predecessor. Fans have already started criticizing the dark tone of the series which may make up for the lack of comedy and charm of the source material.
