At the beginning of the first season, Bianca and Wednesday were relatively hostile towards each other. Ortega stated that the season would "lean into the horror aspect" while "ditching any romantic love interest for Wednesday". Commenting on her casting, Ricci stated, "I was really flattered to be asked and to be asked by Tim [Burton]", [25] with whom she had previously collaborated on the 1999 film Sleepy Hollow. In the Brazilian version, her name is Wandinha (Little Wanda in Portuguese), and in Italy, her name is Mercoledì (Wednesday in Italian).

Tartt’s prose is so intoxicating you’ll find yourself wrapped up in her dark world quickly and willingly. That night, Wednesday, tricks her into investigating the Gates family home under the pretext of having a girls' night out. Enid, having transformed into her werewolf form, defeats Tyler in his Hyde form while Crackstone breaches Nevermore. Wednesday's personality is severe, with a deadpan wit and a morbid interest in trying to inflict harm upon her brothers, first Pugsley and later Pubert.

It received two Golden Globe nominations: Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy and Best Actress – Television Series Musical or Comedy for Ortega. However, despite her gothic strangeness, she's also bored with her macabre and sheltered life, wanting to see the world despite Morticia's objections.

This resulted in a large increase in plays of the song on Spotify [110] and on-demand streams in the United States, surging by 415 percent in the week after the series's release. Sword Mastery: Wednesday is an excellent fencer with a graceful finesse in swordsmanship, likely having been taught by her father. Once there, Wednesday makes quick enemies with the popular girl, Amanda Buckman, but also becomes allies with a boy named Joel Glicker. In the 2019 animated version of the same title, Wednesday retains her emotionless nature and sadistic tendencies, trying to bury Pugsley and tormenting a bully at school.Wednesday is very protective of Eugene, as seen when she defends him from Lucas Walker and his friends, who were attacking him in the Pilgrim World. She asks where Wednesday is, and when she sees everyone's reactions to the question, her eyes widen in panic and worry. Nonetheless, she seems close to him in this version, as he is the only person in the first season able to convince her to smile.
