In the brand-new Netflix series wednesday, played by 20-year-old Jenna Ortega, Christina Ricci's iconic early 1990s portrayal of wednesday Addams is updated. In the 1991 film The Addams Family and its 1993 follow-up, Addams Family Values, Ricci initially appeared as wednesday Addams. In wednesday, which is set 19 years later, Ricci reprises her role as Marilyn Thornhill before handing off the part of wednesday Addams to Jenna Ortega.
Wednesday on Netflix centres on the title character's boarding school escapades as she attempts to solve a small-town murder mystery. wednesday gradually learns to strike a balance between being tough and vulnerable while juggling demands from her parents, therapist, and new acquaintances, all the while keeping up her stoic, colourless demeanour. Jenna Ortega, who co-stars with one of the seven actresses who have played wednesday Addams, Christina Ricci, successfully recreates the beloved character while upholding many of the traditions that Ricci started in the 1990s, ensuring a smooth transition for viewers worldwide.
In the little village of Jericho, Morticia and Gomez enrol wednesday at the same boarding school where they first met and fell in love. There, wednesday goes to school among her "outcast" supernatural peers, such as vampires, sirens, seers, gorgons, telekinetics, and more. Even though the characters in the Addams Family cartoons, tv show, and movies have always had supernatural traits, a larger group of supernatural beings has never been introduced into the Addams Family universe; as a result, the Wednesday's Nevermore Academy, which is directed by Tim Burton, and its students are a new addition to the Addams Family canon.
