The 'Wednesday' show runners break down those season finale reveals.
Whether you do it in a book, movie, or TV series, crafting a whodunit is never easy. Authors have to make sure that 100% of the story checks out, especially for spectators who feel like experiencing your work more than once. On Wednesday, showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar had the task of making the audience curious as to who was killing the Nevermore students, and they decided to put all cards on the table and leave nothing hanging mystery-wise by the end of Season 1.
In an interview to The Hollywood Reporter, the duo of series creators revealed that they wanted the first eight episodes to feel “complete and really satisfying.” That way, they can start a whole new mystery in the next season without having to look back at the questions from Season 1. During the interview, Millar broke down how the mystery of the series' freshman year was mapped out:
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY “It was actually much more complicated and difficult than we anticipated just in terms that you wanna make sure that if you look back at the show that there are no loose ends. There’s no — we call it ‘Fight Club’ moments — where it’s like, ‘Well, that couldn’t have happened.’ It was definitely a jigsaw puzzle.
“It was just always having enough red herrings. It was like, once you kind of figure out the mystery, that you could actually say, ‘Here’s the mystery’ in a couple of lines, then it was how you could complicate it.
Wednesday features Jenna Ortega as the title character, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams, Isaac Ordonez as Wednesday’s younger brother Pugsley, Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester, Christina Ricci as Marilyn Thornhill, George Burcea as Lurch, Gwendoline Christie as Principal Larissa Weems, Riki Lindhome as Dr. Valerie Kinbott, Jamie McShane as Sheriff Donovan Galpin, and Joy Sunday as Bianca Barclay.
