Wednesday is the latest series to take Netflix by storm and Addams Family fans have got everything they could want and more from Tim Burton's latest dark fantasy.

If you're an avid scroller of TikTok (aren't we all), then you would have probably seen the hilarious dance scene in question that shows Jenna's deadpan delivery on the dancefloor.

In episode four, 'Woe What a Night', Nevermore Academy host their Rave’n Dance, Wednesday dominates the event with a perplexing routine complete with a Kubrick Stare and a frilly black gown – very on brand.

It didn't taken long for the prom scene to become a fan favourite, with countless fans reposting the comical moment to social media.

The unique dance in its entirety was shared by a TikTok user in a post viewed over a whopping 3.8 million times, the caption read: "The director said "time to dance" and jenna ortega heard him loud and clear. [sic]"

One Wednesday viewer wrote: "EVERYONE WAKE UP THE WEDNESDAY DANCE JUST DROPPED."

"Wednesday's dance scene is honestly the best thing to exist like I'm obsessed," another tweet read.

It turns out that the 20-year-old Ortega wasn't as prepared for the scene as one might have initially thought! In an interview with NME, she said: "I realised two nights before that I've really got to throw something together.

"It's crazy because on the day I actually – it was my first day with COVID – so it was awful to film, and I asked to redo it but we didn't have time," she said.

Jenna also dished on her influences for the dance, stating that she "ripped off" dance moves from 80s rock artists during the improvised moments – and she smashed it!

Fans can't wait to see what else is to come from the rising star in the dark world of Tim Burton, another viewer posted: "Tim Burton found his new person I can’t wait for upcoming works of these two."
