Jenna Ortega champions character integrity in Wednesday: A season 2 evolution!

In a world where the supernatural becomes the everyday, Jenna Ortega, the star of Netflix’s acclaimed series Wednesday, has given fans a tantalizing glimpse into what lies ahead for the show's eagerly awaited second season. As the eponymous Wednesday Addams, Ortega has become the dark darling of the streaming world, captivating over 150 million households with her macabre charm and deadpan wit.

Ortega, while basking in the limelight of her new film Scream VI and her stint as host on Saturday Night Live, revealed that Wednesday is set to delve deeper into the horror genre, promising to unleash a more independent and formidable Wednesday Addams. The move comes as no surprise given the show's staggering success, quickly becoming Netflix's second most popular English-language series with over 1.02 billion total hours viewed in just three weeks.

The actress shared her excitement about elevating the horror aspect of the show, aiming to extricate Wednesday from any romantic entanglements and instead focus on her burgeoning role as a solo sleuth. "I think we want to up the horror aspect of it a little bit and get Wednesday out of the romantic situation and just let her be her own individual and fight her own crime," Ortega stated during her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
