On November 30, 2022, Director Tim Burton and Netflix came under fire from some viewers and some critics who claimed the casting and undertones of the series Wednesday are "racist". For example, actress Joy Sunday playing a mean girl and siren at Nevermore Academy and actor Iman Marson portraying a bully (these characters have also redemption moments) and the son of a corrupt mayor. Moreover, the mayor also owns Pilgrim World; seen as an eyebrow-raising choice considering the museum celebrates pilgrims and colonizers. These accusations have been rejected by Burton, the crew and the fans as a politically correct attempt to "cancel" the same Burton and the popular series based on a few tweets and accusing the accusers of not have really been watching the show and to have been ignoring the fact that the actors auditioned by their own will for the roles, that Jenna Ortega is Latina, and that black actors should be allowed to play either good, villanous and anti-villanous roles like everyone and like it has always been.
