Ever since Wednesday premiered back in November, fans can’t stop talking about the show. The comedy-horror series has quickly become one of Netflix’s most popular shows of all time. Jenna Ortega, who plays the titular role of Wednesday Addams, has also received her fair share of attention. The 20-year-old has been praised for her performance on the show. But making the series wasn’t always easy for Ortega.

Jenna Ortega often felt overwhelmed when shooting the Netflix series, ‘Wednesday’

Though many people are being introduced to Ortega for the first time, the You alum has been acting since she was a child. However, being number one on the call sheet for such a high-profile project was a new experience for Ortega. Her filming schedule for Wednesday was jam-packed, and she was dealing with a number of different directors who each wanted something different from her and her character. Naturally, this sometimes left The Fallout actor feeling overwhelmed.
