Ortega has some big shoes to fill with big names like Christina Ricci having played Wednesdays Addams in the past.
“We never saw her as a teenage girl,” Ortega previously explained. “You know, it’s funny, cool, and almost magical to hear about this eight-year-old’s obsession with murder, blood, and guts. As she gets older, that bad attitude or [those] Barb notes, it’s almost hard not to make her look like any other teenage girl, so it’s like we’re establishing this character and giving her the same fire without letting her become something she isn’t? Also, it’s an eight-hour series, so for a character with no emotion, there has to be some kind of emotional arc.”
