Jenna Ortega hinted at an even more thrilling second season for “Wednesday” during her recent Emmys appearance. The hit Netflix series is set to amp up the action, horror and supernatural elements when it returns.
According to Ortega, the scripts for Season 2 feel more cinematic in scale, with each episode unfolding like a mini movie. She suggested the show will double down on its trademark creepy charm and macabre tone in the new episodes.
The show is also shifting production from Romania to Ireland this time around. While full plot details remain under wraps, Ortega indicated that Season 2 will move away from any romantic storylines for the title character. This change came in response to feedback on Season 1’s love triangle subplot, which some felt was out of step with Wednesday’s persona.
Along with Ortega in the title role, fan favorites like Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán and Isaac Ordonez are set to reprise their roles as the Addams Family. Fred Armisen is also getting his own Fester spinoff.
After becoming a breakout hit as one of Netflix’s most-watched series, the buzz around “Wednesday” continues to grow. Ortega’s hints about cinematic stakes, thrilling adventures and more creepiness on the way have fans counting down the days until the show’s return.
