There was a lot riding on the casting choice for the titular character of the new Netfilx series “Wednesday,” which marks a return to the Addams Family world
There was a lot riding on the casting choice for the titular character of the new Netfilx series “Wednesday.” In addition to someone who could pull off creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky, the role of raven-haired, pigtail-braided Wednesday Addams needed to go to a young actress who could rise to the occasion of playing a character from such an iconic property.
It’s not only about series regulars, it is about the depth of casting across the entire series, including background extras.” Another coup scored by the casting team on “Wednesday” was to snag actress Christina Ricci, who timelessly portrayed the character in Sonnenfeld’s movies, in the smaller role of Marilyn Thornhill. It almost didn’t happen, due to Ricci’s schedule and commitment to her hit Showtime series “Yellowjackets.” “It was really a lovely long game with Christina,” Papsidera said.
