It must have been an emotional day for Jenna Ortega, the cast of “Wednesday” and the team behind it to hear that their hard work has been acknowledged in the form of, not one or two Emmy Award nominations, but 12.
The series debuted to large viewing numbers last year and quickly found a huge fanbase, so much so that the second season was immediately greenlit.
However, the playing field will be much different from the first one as the love angle is set to be replaced with more horror.
Jenna Ortega Shares Heartwarming Message Following “Wednesday’s” Twelve Emmy Nominations
Tim Burton and Jenna Ortega are now first-time Emmy nominees due to their outstanding work in the teen-goth show “Wednesday,” which focuses on the life of Gomez and Morticia Addams’ only daughter.
The show was Ortega’s breakout role and skyrocketed her to international fame.
At just 20 years of age, Ortega became the second youngest actress to earn a nomination in the category for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. The youngest to be nominated is Patty Duke for her work in the 1964 series, “The Patty Duke Show.”
After the nominations were announced, an excited Ortega reacted by posting an adorable picture of her and Gwendoline Christie as their “Wednesday” characters, writing, “What wonderful news to hear the Wednesday team has received twelve Emmy nominations.
I’ve been so fortunate to witness first hand the incredible time/effort being put in by our cast, crew, writers, and directors, and feel so excited to be able to share this with them. @televisionacad, thank you for the honor, it’s a pleasure.”
The hit Netflix show earned a total of 12 Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Comedy Series. After helming classic movies like “Beetlejuice” and “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” Burton’s first Emmy nomination came from his directorial work on Netflix’s “Wednesday.”
