‘Wednesday‘ Comes to Blu-ray on Tuesday, March 26, 2024, from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment without special features.
The Blu-ray release of ‘Wednesday‘ Season One, while eagerly awaited by fans, disappoints due to the absence of special features, which are often a significant draw for purchasing physical media. Special features, such as behind-the-scenes footage, cast interviews, deleted scenes, and commentary tracks, provide viewers with additional insights and entertainment value beyond the episodes themselves.
For a series like ‘Wednesday‘, which boasts a unique and visually striking aesthetic courtesy of director Tim Burton, fans would likely expect a rich array of special features exploring the creative process, character development, and production challenges. Additionally, given the star-studded cast and the series’ critical acclaim, fans would undoubtedly be eager to hear from the cast and crew about their experiences bringing the iconic Addams Family characters to life.
Without these special features, the Blu-ray release of ‘Wednesday‘, may feel incomplete and fail to offer the comprehensive experience that fans desire. While the opportunity to own physical copies of the episodes may still hold appeal for collectors, the lack of additional content could dampen enthusiasm for the release and lead some fans to opt for streaming options instead.
However, amidst this disappointment, one shining aspect of the series is Jenna Ortega’s portrayal of Wednesday Addams. Ortega’s performance has been widely celebrated for her ability to capture the essence of the character, bringing a fresh perspective while also paying homage to the iconic portrayal by Lisa Loring in the 1960s series. Particularly notable is Ortega’s recreation of the ‘Wednesday Dance‘, originally performed by Loring, which serves as a nostalgic nod to longtime fans of the Addams Family franchise. Ortega’s dedication to embodying Wednesday’s quirky demeanor and dark humor has been a standout feature of the series, contributing to its overall success and fan appreciation.
Official Synopsis:
