Write On with 'Wednesday' Creators Al Gough and Miles Millar

The surprise hit and breakout role for Jenna Ortega as the
titular character in Netflix's spin off of the Addams Family,
Wednesday, was just as exciting to create as it is to watch. "The
writer's room started the first week of lockdown, so writing a
Wednesday show during a global pandemic felt on brand," says
creator Al Gough about writing the pilot before selling the show
to Netflix. 


Final Draft's Write On Podcast sits down with Gough and his
co-creators Miles Millar to hear about how they revitalized
this character with a modern twist and brought back nostalgia
with the return of Christina Ricci in the 8-episode series that
follows Wednesday's life as she attends a boarding school for
other teens with magical abilities. 


Wednesday is currently streaming on Netflix.
