Here are 15 other things you might not know about the series:
1.It broke a record previously set by the fourth season of Stranger Things.
2.Executive producer Tim Burton was attached to the 1991 Addams Family film, but due to scheduling conflicts, directorial duties were passed on to Barry Sonnenfeld, who also directed the sequel Addams Family Values.
3.Jenna Ortega was covered in fake blood and gore when she met Burton, along with series creators Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, over a Zoom call.

6.She also choreographed Wednesday's big dance scene herself.

7.Inspiration for the choreography included Siouxsie Sioux and '80s goths.
Thanks to Siouxsie Sioux, Bob Fosse’s Rich Man’s Frug, Lisa Loring, Lene Lovich, Denis Lavant, and archival footage of goths dancing in clubs in the 80’s. Helped me out on this one. https://t.co/zlxlv1JUW4
8.Ortega took fencing, archery, canoeing, and German lessons as well — the latter of which she put to use when telling a group of tourists about fudge and colonialism.
9.At 6'3", George Burcea is the shortest actor to play Lurch in a live-action role.
10.Thing the hand isn't CGI or an animatronic — he's played by an actor, just like in the '90s films.
