According to Wednesday star Jenna Ortega, the show's iconic dance scene was inspired by a variety of sources, including Siouxsie Sioux and goth dance club footage, among others. Ortega shared a clip of her character dancing on the Addams Family spinoff series, thanking several musical artists in helping her prepare for the dance scene. "Thanks to Siouxsie Sioux, Bob Fosse’s Rich Man’s Frug, Lisa Loring, Lene Lovich, Denis Lavant, and archival footage of goths dancing in clubs in the ’80s," she wrote. "Helped me out on this one."

While Ortega watched dance videos in order to actively get ready for her role on Wednesday, she noted that, in a way, she started getting into character before she even knew about the Netflix show. While speaking about her relationship with actor Maddie Ziegler, Ortega revealed that she, like her character, used to partake in a particular kind of mischief as a child.

"She's such a weirdo and I'm a weirdo in the way I used to perform autopsies on little animals when I was younger," Ortega said. "Little lizards that I found that were dead in my backyard. She's a weirdo in the sense that she breaks out into characters or movements or makes faces."

Plans for Wednesday Season 2

The first season of Wednesday recently premiered on Netflix, but the show's creators and showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar already have ideas for a second season. Gough noted that he wants to continue to explore the relationship between Wednesday and Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers), explaining that "like any relationship or any friendship, it can get complicated by other factors." He continued, "It's never going to be smooth sailing. And it's really her learning to navigate the ups and downs of friendship." Millar noted that he hopes to continue to flesh out other characters, too. "We felt like we just touched the surface with those characters," he said.

While Gough and Millar are already thinking about how to expand Wednesday's characters, the show was almost very different. In a recent interview, Gough recalled that he and Millar fully expected Burton to say "no" when they sent the script to the director. They were surprised that "three days later his agent called and said, 'Tim loves it.'"

When asked why he agreed to direct the Netflix series, Burton revealed that Gough and Millar's Wednesday script "just spoke to me about how I felt in school and how you feel about your parents, how you feel as a person." He said, "It gave the Addams Family a different kind of reality. It was an interesting combination."

Wednesday is currently available to stream on Netflix.
