Jenna Ortega Teases Season 2 of WEDNESDAY Is "Bigger, Bolder, Gorier" and "Sillier in the Best Way Possible"
Fans of the series Wednesday have been waiting nearly three years to see the return of the show that had a hugely successful first season. The show explores the high school life of Wednesday Addams at Nevermore Academy as she navigates friendships and relationships and unravels dark mysteries lurking within its walls.
The wait is not long now, with season 2 headed our way this August, and star Jenna Ortega is teasing the “bigger, bolder” theme of the returning show.
In a recent interview with Harpers Bazaar, Ortega, who is now a producer on the series, said of joining the behind the scenes process, “I sit in on meetings and listen and learn. I’m still finding my footing in that area.” She also tries to make sure other young cast members feel heard.
She teased, “Season 2 is bigger, bolder, gorier, and a bit darker. It’s sillier in the best way possible.” She also commented on the show’s move from Bucharest to Dublin, stating, “Dublin was incredible. I loved everything about that experience, the cast, the crew. It was so sweet and so awesome. That island is so beautiful.”
The official logline for Wednesday season 2 promises a "supernatural mystery" where "fresh foes and woes" await our titular hero in the halls of Nevermore Academy. "This season, Wednesday must navigate family, friends and old adversaries, propelling her into another year of delightfully dark and kooky mayhem," it continues.
Part 1 of Season 2 of Wednesday is debuting on Netflix on August 6th, followed by Part 2 on September 3rd.
