![Jenna Ortega Says She Couldn’t Watch Five Minutes Of Wednesday Before It Became Netflix’s Biggest English-Language Hit Jenna Ortega says she never saw Wednesday becoming a global hit. The 24-year-old actress stars as Wednesday Addams in Tim Burton’s Netflix series. Season 1 is now Netflix’s most popular English-language series of all time, with more than 252 million views. But Ortega says she had doubts from the start. During early production, she “didn’t think that it was working at all.” On the Oct. 22 episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast, she said Netflix sent her an episode or two to watch before season 1 came out. “I couldn’t make it through the first five minutes,” she said. She said she was “mortified” by what she saw. Then the show premiered in 2022. People started freaking out over it, and she started getting recognized. Ortega said it “felt like some sick mind game that the world was [playing].” She added, “Still to this day, I am a little confused by it.” She also said she was “very stressed out” at first. She struggled to connect with Burton, 68, who directs and executive produces. She said he is “very, very shy” and “does not speak” when you start working with him. Costars have praised her. Fred Armisen told PEOPLE she is “very meticulous.” Steve Buscemi said she is “so sharp and funny and down to earth.” Season 2 also ranks in Netflix’s top 10. A third season is on the way. Why do you think the show took off the way it did? #jennaortega #wednesday #netflix #TimBurton #celebrity](/video/cover/7699812873710701838.webp)
