Jenna Ortega, who plays a character on wednesday, has admitted that portions of her character's lines needed to be changed. The current The Addams Family spinoff, wednesday, distinguishes itself by focusing on Wednesday's experience as a student at Nevermore Academy, a school for outcasts. While getting to know werewolves, vampires, gorgons, and other magical beings, wednesday is also required to solve a murder case while adjusting to life at a boarding school that is incredibly out of the ordinary. Even if the majority of the school is working against wednesday as she learns to care for others, wednesday struggles with social interactions.
There are times when wednesday has to address the realities of the situation since she is left to cope with school dances and usual high school turmoil. Ortega had to intervene in several instances to correct the character before she became too unlikeable, even if doing so frequently involved insulting others around her. wednesday was performed by Ortega and Christina Ricci, who both found the challenge of the role to be balancing relatability. She went into depth about one passage in particular that she urged the producers to remove in a TikTok Q&A that Ortega ran, according to ComicBook.com.
