The Cast of ‘Wednesday’ IRL vs. Their Onscreen Counterparts in Pictures
Thing is about to blow your damn mind.
Things that have happened since Wednesday premiered back in November 2022: You memorized the choreography to Jenna Ortega's dance to "Goo Goo Muck" by The Cramps, you've accidentally entered a goth phase as a grown adult, and you may or may not have developed feelings for Thing, a disembodied hand. Basically you're still obsessed with Wednesday five months into the show's arrival on Netflix, and now the time has come to dive into what the cast look like in real life. I mean, presumably you have a preeeeetty good idea of everyone's vibes based on the countless red carpets they've been lurking on lately, but honestly seeing their IRL pics side-by-side with their show alter-egos is pretty striking. Like, the hair and makeup team deserves several Emmy Awards for their work on Lurch alone—those cheekbones!
Check out a roundup of the core cast IRL vs. on-screen ahead, and reminder that Wednesday has officially been renewed for a second season on Netflix and this time Jenna Ortega is coming on board as a producer. Which means you can expect season 2 to be even spookier and darker than season 1. As Jenna told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show this month, "I think we want to up the horror aspect of it a little bit and then get Wednesday out of her romantic situation and just let her be her own individual and fight her own crime.” Yes to that.
Wednesday Addams vs Jenna Ortega
Fun fact: Jenna purposefully didn't blink during Wednesday and kept her chin down at all times. So if she looks vaguely diff in real life, that might have something to do with it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Tyler Galpin vs Hunter Doohan
Really needing Tyler to have a fashion glow-up and exchange his brown jacket for Hunter's sheer blazer and yellow bodysuit.
Xavier Thorpe vs Percy Hynes White
'Kay, so yeah: Percy is pretty much identical both on screen and off.
Enid Sinclair vs Emma Myers
Enid would be left screaming, crying, throwing up at the lack of color in Emma's outfit.
Bianca Barclay vs Joy Sunday
No one has ever been more stunning on or off screen, fact.
Ajax Petropolus vs Georgie Farmer
Um, okay Georgie!
Marilyn Thornhill vs Christina Ricci
Between the red hair in Wednesday and the blonde hair in Yellowjackets, I truly have no idea what Christina Ricci looks like.
Thing vs Victor Dorobantu
I'm going to need several moments.
Principle Weems vs Gwendoline Christie
If Weems doesn't end up being secretly alive for season 2, I WILL be filing a lawsuit.
Dr. Kinbott vs Riki Lindhome
RIP to Dr. Kinbott's bangs (and also like, Dr. Kinbott in general).
Sheriff Galpin vs Jamie McShane
This man does not fuck around when it comes to hats.
Yoko Tanaka vs Naomi J. Ogawa
Can't wait for Yoko to 🤞🤞🤞 have an even bigger role next season.
Divina vs Johnna Dias-Watson
Literally wouldn't have recognized her despite vibes being identical, IDK!
Kent vs Oliver Watson
Fabio is shaking.
Eugene Ottinger vs Moosa Mostafa
Moosa's already grown so much between filming Wednesday and hitting the carpet!
Lucas vs Iman Marson
Can't wait to see where Lucas' story goes in season 2 now that he's abandoned Team Normie and joined Team Outcast.
Lurch vs George Burcea
Would kill for that contour.
Mayor Walker vs Tommie Earl Jenkins
In conclusion: he can wear the hell out of a blazer, velvet or otherwise.
Morticia Addams vs Catherine Zeta-Jones
Using this opp to encourage everyone to watch this video, thx.
Gomez Addams vs Luis Guzmán
make! the pencil thin! mustache! permanent!
