Nevermore Academy almost had a very different student within their ranks, as Jenna Ortega revealed she passed on the role of Wednesday multiple times during an interview with The Times UK. Before being a part of one of Netflix's biggest series of all time, the actress had a really strong desire for working on more film roles, instead of the television medium she had been used to throughout her career.
I got the email, passed on it. I had done so much TV in my life, all I’ve ever wanted to do is film. When I first started acting, I don’t want to say nobody believed in me, but at the same time nobody believed in me. You have to prove yourself. It’s only in the last three or four years that I’ve been able to start going up for film. I was scared that by signing on to another television show it could prevent me from doing other jobs I really wanted and cared about.
In the Netflix spin-off, Wednesday is sent to Nervermore because her parents, Morticia and Gomez , are concerned with her behavior after the girl threw live piranhas into the pool of her previous school while the boys from the swimming team were training. Wednesday's motivation behind the act was noble, as the boys had been bothering her brother, Pugsley earlier that day.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY While it wasn't expected to perform with high ratings behind it while it was being promoted, Wednesday quickly became of the biggest shows of 2022, generating viewership numbers bigger than those of HBO's House of the Dragon. While the Game of Thrones spin-off easily beat Wednesday during the first two weeks it was available for streaming, it was subsequently surpassed by the oldest Addams child a month after the Netflix production made its debut.
