Burton was previously approached to direct the 1991 film The Addams Family and was involved with a cancelled stop-motion animated The Addams Family film. In October 2020, he was reported to be helming a television series, which was later given a series order by Netflix. Ortega was cast in part to represent the character's Latina heritage.

Filming took place in Romania between September 2021 and March 2022.

During pre-production on The Addams Family (1991), Tim Burton was approached to direct, but ended up passing on it due to scheduling conflicts with Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992), resulting in Barry Sonnenfeld taking the job.[9][10] In March 2010, it was announced that Illumination Entertainment had acquired the underlying rights to the Addams Family drawings.[11] The film was planned to be a stop-motion animated film based on Charles Addams's original drawings. Burton was set to co-write, co-produce, and possibly direct the film.[12] In July 2013, it was reported that the film was cancelled,[13] which, according to Burton, was due to the studio favoring a computer-animated approach over the stop-motion technique.[14]
Showrunners Miles Millar and Alfred Gough started developing story ideas in 2019. They subsequently acquired the rights to the intellectual property before writing a pilot script, which they sent to Burton.[15] To their surprise, Burton immediately became interested upon receiving the script.[16] Commenting about his decision to join the project, Burton stated that he could relate to the titular character's worldview and that the script "spoke to me about how I felt in school and how you feel about your parents, how you feel as a person. It gave the Addams Family a different kind of reality. It was an interesting combination".[14] Feeling creatively drained after Dumbo (2019), Burton considered retiring from the industry, being left to his own "feelings and things" during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the offer to make Wednesday reconnected his love to filmmaking and served him as a "health camp".[17] Millar stated that it was "very important" to the creative team not to emulate the prior films and 1964 television series.[16] Millar and Gough decided to make the juxtaposition of "outcasts" and "normies", as well as criticism of colonial Americans, major themes in the series.[18]
In October 2020, Wednesday was initially announced as an unnamed Addams Family project being helmed by Burton. The series's production would be handled by MGM Television, with Burton as director. Gough and Millar would serve as showrunners, while Gough, Millar, and Burton would also be executive producers alongside Gail Berman, Jon Glickman, and Andrew Mittman.[19] In February 2021, Netflix gave the production a series order consisting of eight episodes.[20] In August 2021, Kayla Alpert was added as an executive producer and 1.21, Tee and Charles Addams Foundation, and Glickmania were also producing the series.[21] Deemed his "first real foray into television", Burton directed four out of the eight episodes,[16] with Gandja Monteiro and James Marshall directing the remaining episodes.[22] Burton brought on regular collaborator Colleen Atwood as costume designer.[16]
On possible future seasons, Gough and Millar commented in an interview with Variety, "when we sit down to create a show, it's looking at multiple seasons, ideally. That's never expected, but that's the anticipation that hopefully the show is successful." They further stated that they had "a pretty clear runway" of how future seasons could unfold.[23] In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Gough and Millar stated that the second season would expand upon the friendship between Wednesday and Enid while also evolving Wednesday's relationship with her mother, Morticia.[24] Ortega stated that the season would "lean into the horror aspect" while "ditching any romantic love interest for Wednesday".[25] Preparations for a second season commenced in December 2022, following Amazon's acquisition of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.[26] In January 2023, the series was renewed for a second season,[27] with Ortega now also serving as producer.[28]
Casting

The creative team sought a Latina to play the role of Wednesday Addams to align with character Gomez Addams's heritage, an aspect of the character that was already worked into the series' script.[30] In May 2021, Jenna Ortega, who is of Mexican and Puerto Rican descent,[30] was cast in the role.[31] Millar stated that, upon their first Zoom call together, the creative team knew that "nobody else on this planet" was better suited to portray the character.[32] Ortega said that she was initially hesitant about joining the project due to her past work in teen-oriented Disney Channel shows[33] and her plans to prioritize film over television work, but decided to join in after meeting Burton through Zoom.[34] In the beginning of August of that year, Luis Guzmán was cast to guest-star as Gomez Addams,[21] and Catherine Zeta-Jones was cast as Morticia Addams in an undisclosed capacity.[35] Later that month, Thora Birch, Riki Lindhome, Jamie McShane, Hunter Doohan, Georgie Farmer, Moosa Mostafa, Emma Myers, Naomi J. Ogawa, Joy Sunday, and Percy Hynes White were announced to be cast as series regulars.[36] Myers initially auditioned for the titular role before she was cast as Wednesday's roommate Enid.[37]
In September, Gwendoline Christie and Victor Dorobantu were added to the cast in starring roles while Isaac Ordonez, George Burcea, Tommie Earl Jenkins, Iman Marson, William Houston, Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo, Oliver Watson, Calum Ross, and Johnna Dias Watson were cast in recurring roles.[38] In December 2021, Birch left the series, leaving the status of her character, dorm mother Tamara Novak, unclear.[39] In March 2022, it was announced that Christina Ricci, who played Wednesday Addams in the film The Addams Family and its sequel Addams Family Values (1993), was cast as a series regular, replacing Birch in a similar role.[40] Commenting on her casting, Ricci stated, "I was really flattered to be asked and to be asked by Tim [Burton]",[29] with whom she had previously collaborated on Sleepy Hollow (1999).[41] Ricci was almost unable to accept the role due to possible scheduling conflicts with Showtime series Yellowjackets.[30] In October, a trailer revealed Fred Armisen to be portraying Uncle Fester, and Ricci's role was confirmed as Marilyn Thornhill.[42]
Ortega called her work on the series "very stressful and confusing" and "the most overwhelming job I've ever had" due to the production's fast-tracked shooting schedule.[34][53] To prepare for her role, Ortega learned to play cello and took canoeing, fencing, archery, and German lessons.[32] According to actress Joy Sunday, the canoeing lessons were especially strenuous, involving the entire cast and some dozen stuntmen racing each other for an hour daily, with days starting as early as 5:30am.[54] Ortega avoided talking to Ricci about playing the character during filming to achieve her own unique rendition of the role.[55] She choreographed her dance to the Cramps' "Goo Goo Muck" herself, taking inspiration from Siouxsie Sioux, Bob Fosse, and goth dance club footage from the 1980s.[56][57] Ortega sought to make Wednesday's characterization consistent, down to changing lines that she felt were unfitting of the character, and with more depth. She stated "you can't lead a story and have no emotional arc because then it's boring and nobody likes you."[58][34] Scenes featuring Thing, played by Romanian magician Victor Dorobantu, were achieved using a mixture of practical and special effects; Dorobantu wore a blue chroma-key bodysuit that would be edited out in post-production, leaving only his hand exposed. To create the illusion of a severed hand, a prosthetic stump was applied to Dorobantu's hand.[59]
The second season began filming in May 2024 in Ireland.[45][60][61] Ortega's schedule for the show was discussed with the filmmakers of the Scream franchise prior to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, leading to Ortega's departure from the upcoming Scream 7 due to the scheduling conflict.[62] By August 2024, they had completed four episodes.[63] Filming for the second series had wrapped by early December 2024 and is set to release in 2025.[64]
Led by two singles,[70]Wednesday's 48-track soundtrack was released by Lakeshore Records on November 23, 2022,[67] and a four-track extended play featuring covers of classical and pop songs was released on November 30.[69] In his review of the series, Tony Sokol of Den of Geek called the score "a major character, not only thematically, but as an emotional delivery system", making "the chills creepier, the jokes funnier, and the tingles tangible".[71] Linda Codega of Gizmodo called the cello segments "memorable" and the score "occasionally-magnificent".[72] Writing for IGN, Amelia Emberwing described the combination of Elfman's score with Burton's material as "[going] together like peanut butter and jelly" and the score overall as "a stunner".[73]

A first teaser trailer for Wednesday was released on August 17, 2022,[74] followed by a full trailer on October 9[75] and the unveiling of the series' opening sequence on November 8.[76]Wednesday premiered on November 16, 2022, at Hollywood Legion Theater in Los Angeles.[77][78] Its eight episodes were released on Netflix on November 23, 2022.[79] In December 2022, Netflix released a promotional video to its Twitter account depicting Thing, a sentient disembodied hand appearing in the series, roaming the streets of New York City and capturing the reactions of passersby.[80] The first season was released on Blu-ray and DVD by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment in March 2024.[81]
Reception
Audience viewership
According to data from users of TV Time collected by Whip Media, Wednesday had the second-most pre-release followers of any Netflix original series on the platform, behind only The Witcher;[82] it ultimately debuted at number one on Netflix in 83 countries.[83] The series holds the record of most hours viewed in a week for an English-language Netflix series with a total 341 million hours watched in its first week of release, amounting to more than 50million households, and passing prior record holder Stranger Things 4's 335 million hours.[84]Nielsen Media Research reported a combined watch time of 6billion minutes within its first week of release, making it the second-biggest streaming week ever recorded by the firm.[85] Three weeks after its release, it became the second-most watched English-language Netflix series in the history of the platform, reaching an estimated 150 million households and totaling 1billion viewing hours by December 2022.[86] Jacob Stolworthy of The Independent called the series's popularity "unprecedented" and suggested that it could jumpstart development of several other spin-off television series.[87]
Critical response
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 73% approval rating and an average rating of 6.9/10, based on 102 reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "Wednesday isn't exactly full of woe for viewers, but without Jenna Ortega in the lead, this Addams Family-adjacent series might as well be another CW drama."[88]Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 66 out of 100 based on 26 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[89]
Ed Power of The Daily Telegraph gave Wednesday four out of five stars and called it "an addictively rococo romp that unfolds like a cross between Euphoria and Hotel Transylvania".[90] John Anderson of The Wall Street Journal commended Ortega's "charismatic performance" and called the series "often delightful, despite its deliberate darkness".[91] In his "B"-review for The Detroit News, Tom Long deemed the series visually appealing and described Ortega's deadpan as "just as elastic as it needed to be" and her performance overall as "consistently [pushing] outside the caricature enough to keep things lively".[92] Writing for RogerEbert.com, Cristina Escobar similarly praised Ortega's deadpan humor and commended the series' "satisfactory" ending.[93] While finding that the series would not be "what real fans of Charles Addams and his characters are looking for", Mike Hale of The New York Times called the series "tolerable" despite "satisfying only on the level of formulaic teenage romance and mystery" and compared it to the Harry Potter franchise.[94] Commenting on its tone, Jesse Hassenger of TheWrap described the four episodes directed by Burton as feeling more like Veronica Mars than Sleepy Hollow.[95] Nick Hilton of The Independent gave the series two out of five stars and criticized the series's tone as "relentlessly quippy Gen Z" and its performances as "more two-dimensional than the New Yorker comic strip in which the characters first appeared".[96]

Following the release of Wednesday, Wednesday Addams's dance from the series and its fan recreations to Lady Gaga's song "Bloody Mary" went viral on video sharing service TikTok,[123] with Kim Kardashian, Amelia Dimoldenberg, Marina Diamandis, Madonna and Gaga herself also participating in the trend.[124][125][126] This resulted in a large increase in plays of the song on Spotify[127] and on-demand streams in the United States, surging by 415 percent in the week after the series's release.[128] Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva recreated the dance during a December 2022 competition.[129] Earlier that same month, "Bloody Mary" was sent to French radio as a single, 11 years after the release of Born This Way, the album it was featured on.[130] The 1981 song "Goo Goo Muck" by the Cramps, which plays during the original dance scene, also saw a surge in popularity. According to Billboard, on-demand streams of the song in the United States increased from 2,500 to over 134,000,[131] and Spotify streams increased by 9,500 percent since the series was released.[132] Janelle Zara of The Guardian stated that the viral dance trend "may have single-handedly revived Gothic subculture for Gen Z".[133]
