Wednesday Season 1 Dance Scene Stunned Fans With A Dark (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Netflix’s Wednesday didn’t just deliver gothic flair and murder mystery; it dropped an iconic dance moment that practically cracked TikTok in half. Episode 4, “Woe What a Night,” gave fans the viral scene: Wednesday Addams, played by Jenna Ortega, gliding across the dance floor with strange, twitchy elegance to The Cramps’ “Goo Goo Muck.” But behind those stiff shoulders and dead-eyed stares was a creative decision that made all the difference.

Wednesday Scrap the Flash Mob for an Iconic Solo That Broke the Internet

Originally, the plan was something far more typical — a full-blown flash mob. But Ortega and Tim Burton scrapped the idea, realizing a synchronized group performance just didn’t suit Wednesday. Ortega choreographed the final version herself, pulling inspiration from goth subculture, old-school Siouxsie Sioux, club footage from the 80s, and even Lisa Loring’s Og Wednesday moves.

Netflix has no shortage of iconic hits and shows that have become a cultural phenomenon today. Shows like Bridgerton and Stranger Things have garnered global acclaim. Coming on the heels of such shows is Wednesday. Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, the show is based on the character Wednesday Addams by Charles Addams.

A darkly comedic take on the iconic tale of the Addams family, the show has captivated audiences since its debut in November 2022. While it was Jenna Ortega’s brilliant portrayal of Wednesday that garnered attention, over time its supporting characters have started gaining similar traction.

Blending gothic aesthetics, sharp wit, and supernatural intrigue all into one, the show is helmed by the visionary Tim Burton, becoming one of the most-watched English-language series on the streaming giant. Now a global sensation, amassing millions of views, the show has gained a fan following even from people in the industry.
