Jenna Ortega Shares Insights on Upcoming Season Two of Wednesday

Actress Jenna Ortega, who portrays the iconic Wednesday Addams in the Netflix series Wednesday, recently provided fans with intriguing updates regarding the show’s highly anticipated second season. Although filming concluded late last year, no official release date has been announced yet.

Editing in Progress

During an interview with Collider, Ortega explained that the production team is still in the editing phase. She stated, “We’re still in the edit. I was doing ADR for it two weeks ago. That’s the funny thing about these jobs is you’re done, you wrap, but you’re not really done. So, I’ll probably be working on it until the end.” This suggests that the completion of visual and audio elements is critical for the show’s final presentation.

Season Two Set to Impress

While details remain somewhat under wraps, Ortega hinted that season two will likely be the most visually dynamic yet. She shared an anecdote about a particular frame involving character Pugsley, which she likened to imagery from the film Full Metal Jacket, describing it as “insane” and “so bizarre.”

Emphasis on Horror References

Fans can look forward to an episode dedicated to horror film tropes, rife with slasher references. Ortega remarked, “I just feel like there are a lot of scenes and frames, and there’s a whole episode based off of slashers, and we make a lot of horror references.” She elaborated that with increased confidence from the writing team, the production was able to explore more elaborate and ambitious sequences.

Potential for Future Seasons

As anticipation builds for season two, Ortega also hinted at the possibility of a third season. “We haven’t gotten an official thumbs up or anything like that, but I know that the writers are… With a show like that, you kind of want to get ahead of the game. So, I think that they’re kind of messing around and throwing out ideas,” she noted.

Looking Back on Season One

The inaugural season of Wednesday received a positive reception, earning a four-star review from NME. The show has been praised for its unique blend of humor and horror, described as “creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky – and an absolute treat.”

The excitement surrounding the second season continues to grow, with fans eagerly awaiting more of Ortega’s captivating portrayal of the beloved character.
