00:30I've always hated the expression, write what you know.
00:33But when your life becomes a twisted mystery, maybe it's time to lean into it.
00:38It's very important to us that it wasn't a remake or a reboot, that this was a new chapter in
00:42Wednesday Adam's life.
00:43This is really a show about exploring her journey into adulthood.
00:47Wednesday is like the classic outsider, obviously.
00:50You know, she sees things very black and white, mainly black.
00:54But in the past incarnations, it's been very cartoony.
00:57So in this longer form, we just try to give it a reality, which I love.
01:02When I look at you, the following emojis come to mind.
01:05Rope, shovel, hole.
01:07It was really important to me that I did something different, even though she's been done so flawlessly in the
01:12past.
01:12She's a bit more socially awkward.
01:14There's a confidence there, but it's more concealed.
01:16I know I'm stubborn, single-minded, and obsessive.
01:19But those are all traits of great writers and serial killers.
01:22Wednesday is so iconic because she's an example of a girl who says, like, I don't have to smile for
01:26you.
01:27I don't have to be happy for you.
01:29She says the things that the rest of us wish we could say.
01:32Wednesday is technically a Latina character, and that's never been represented.
01:35So for me, any time that I have an opportunity to represent my community, I want that to be seen.
01:41Who doesn't have a spooky built-in altar in their family library?
01:44Ours is in the living room. More seating for a year-long Dia de los Muertos.
01:48The key ingredient of this show was finding Wednesday.
01:51And when we found Jenna, it was just like, she was the one.
01:55I haven't always been against birthdays.
01:57Each one reminds me I'm a year closer to death's cold embrace.
02:00I watched the movies when I was younger, and Wednesday is somebody that I always was compared to my entire
02:04life.
02:05She inherently has a dry sense of humor as Jenna, and so she's incorporated that into Wednesday.
02:11You must be the self-appointed Queen Bee.
02:13Interesting thing about bees, pull out their stingers and they drop dead.
02:17I honestly was so nervous to do this part because I just wanted to do her justice.
02:20So I went to fencing lessons twice a week.
02:23Hello.
02:23Great.
02:24Good.
02:24I went to cello lessons twice a week.
02:26Yeah, that's it. You got it.
02:27A big part of it, too, was just physicality.
02:29I would walk like Wednesday, and I think that people thought I might have been kind of crazy
02:32because I wanted her to be specific and certain and assertive.
02:36She's like a silent movie actress in the sense where she's able to convey things without words.
02:40And to see the inner life and the subtleties was very exciting.
02:45And that's why we're very lucky to have Jenna, because I can't imagine any other Wednesday.
02:52OMG, you look perfect.
02:54Only thing, where are your whiskers?
02:57Ask again and you'll be down to eight lives.
