Jenna Ortega Hints at a “Graphic” and Exciting Season Two of Netflix’s Wednesday
Well, well, well! It seems that Jenna Ortega is not just sitting around twiddling her thumbs while waiting for the much-anticipated second season of “Wednesday” to grace our screens in 2025. In an exclusive tête-à-tête with E! News, Ortega, who has captured our hearts as the delightfully dark Wednesday Addams, tantalizingly hinted that this upcoming season promises some “very exciting” footage. And honey, if she says it’s exciting, you better believe it is!
The 22-year-old actress expressed her enthusiasm for the project, stating, “Some of the footage that we shot in Wednesday season two, especially in the last episode, is some of my favorite footage from the show.” Now that’s a bold statement! Under the artistic eye of the illustrious Tim Burton, who is not only the executive producer but also the director of several episodes, the set buzzed with creativity. Ortega remarked, “Tim really had a ball… Everything is very graphic and it’s very exciting.” Graphic, you say? Let’s hope that translates into a blend of horror and humor that keeps us on the edge of our seats, much like the first season did, which was well-received by critics and audiences alike, holding a 72% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Moreover, it looks like Ortega isn’t the only star to grace the halls of Nevermore Academy this season; Lady Gaga’s casting was confirmed last November. Although she is keeping her role under wraps—“I want to keep it extra secret”—her excitement is palpable. Can you imagine the musical possibilities? The combination of Gaga’s theatrical flair and Burton’s signature style could create quite the spectacle.
As we await the return to our beloved gothic setting, Ortega’s side project, “Death of a Unicorn,” hitting theaters in March, is sure to keep her fans entertained. While we count down the days to 2025, it’s a thrilling time to be a fan of the macabre and the whimsical. So, mark your calendars and prepare for a season that promises to be more graphic and, dare I say, more fabulous than ever!
