The filming of “Wednesday” occurred in 2021, around the peak of the pandemic, with Jenna Ortega and her co-stars being shipped to Romania for months at a time. In an interview with Dax Shepard on his “The Armchair Expert” podcast, Ortega recalled her experience of feeling isolated far away from her family in a completely different part of the world. However, she found solace in her co-stars-turned-best buds, especially Percy Hynes White, Georgie Farmer, and Emma Myers.
Ortega told Shepard that she lived in the same apartment building as White and Farmer. “They would wait for me after I wrapped shooting to go for walks, or they would cook me dinner, or they would clean apartments,” she said. “We mothered each other, so whenever someone was busier, like going through something, we were there.”

Ortega also grew fond of Myers, who played her roommate and best friend on the show. “I don’t think I’ve ever been so protective of somebody. I think about her all the time. I only ever want to make sure she’s okay and good,” she said. Myers, for her part, thinks the world of Ortega, too. “We get along so well, I love Jenna. She’s one of my closest friends,” she told Variety. “I think we have a different dynamic off-screen, but I still don’t think it’s any less important or deep or beautiful than Enid and Wednesday’s.”
