“The opposites attract storyline we needed,” tweeted the show’s official account, along with a screenshot of Wednesday and Enid. Another read “Wednesday & Enid’s relationship is elite,” accompanied by selfies of stars Jenna Orte

"She’s somebody who embraces her differences and isn’t out to please anybody. And I feel prefer that’s a really, really strong thing to see."

Jenna Ortega has opened up about her portrayal of Wednesday Addams and why she thinks that Wednesday is a gay icon.

Ever since The Addams Family film franchise debuted back in , many LGBTQ+ viewers have resonated with Wednesday Addams.
