Wednesday season 2 star's family didn't recognise her after extreme transformation

Wednesday season 2 part 2 airs on Netflix on September 3, with the part one finale leaving fans on tenterhooks.

Wednesday Addams' (played by Jenna Ortega) fate was left up in the air after she solved the mystery surrounding LOIS - Long-Term Outcast Integration Study.

While trying to solve the mystery, she called on Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen) for help and he ended up in a misunderstanding with a Willow Hill canteen worker called Louise.

The pair shared an intimate moment together and Louise actress Eugenia Caruso spoke exclusively to Reach titles about her time on the show. When asked about her transformation into Louise, she admitted her own family did not recognise her.

The star said: "It was such a thrill to step into Louise’s world. My background is in theatre, so I decided to apply a little Laban technique mixed with Commedia dell’Arte to create Louise’s physicality and voice quality.

"The costume, hair, and makeup team are true magicians, and Bitemakers did a fantastic job completing the look with a great mouldy smile.

"I would look in the mirror and see a whole new person — I am in awe of what they managed to achieve.

"Lots of friends and family who have watched the show didn’t immediately realise it was me. I take that as the highest compliment for everyone who worked to bring Louise to life."

The actress also shared her favourite thing about her filming experience - the praise from creator Tim Burton.

She shared: "For me acting is a form of storytelling, and in order to do that fulfilling the director’s vision is vital.

"Since I am incredibly shy often I rely on comedy to connect with people, so toward the end of my time on set, I came out of a scene and Tim was smiling, and someone said to me he was really pleased, which meant the world to me as a character actress.

"I remember looking around — rain, fog, monsters in the distance, the whole gothic magic — and thinking, 'This is exactly why I became an actor'.

"That combination of creativity, teamwork, and just a pinch of weirdness will stay with me forever."

Commenting on the evolution of Wednesday, the star said she has loved seeing the world of Wednesday expand. Offering her thoughts on the part one finale, she added: "As for the Part 1 finale, without spoiling anything, I think it delivers exactly what we fans love: twists, emotion, and that deliciously dark humour.

"It leaves you wanting more, which is exactly what a finale should do."
