Jenna Ortega, renowned for her portrayal of the iconic Wednesday Addams in the popular Netflix series, continues to embrace the dark and eccentric character with enthusiasm.
The 22-year-old actress is reprising her role as Wednesday in the highly anticipated second season of *Wednesday*. Ortega recently praised executive producer Tim Burton, who also directed several episodes, for his ability to keep the cast and crew motivated throughout the production process.
Speaking to *E! News*, Ortega shared, “Tim really had a ball. Everything is very graphic and exciting, and it’s inspiring to work with someone like him who gets you excited about the shots you’re doing every day.”
She added, “Playing a character for eight months isn’t always easy. Sometimes it feels like a crawl to the finish line, but Tim always keeps it exciting. It’s hard to get tired of a character like Wednesday.”
Ortega hinted that the upcoming season will surpass the first, promising more surprises and the signature dark humor that fans adore.
She revealed, “Some of the footage we shot for *Wednesday* season two, especially in the final episode, is some of my favorite from the entire show. That’s very exciting for me.”
While fans eagerly await the return of *Wednesday*, they won’t have to wait much longer. The hit series is slated to return in 2025, though an exact release date has yet to be announced.
With Ortega’s captivating performance and Burton’s visionary direction, the second season of *Wednesday* is poised to deliver even more thrills and chills for its dedicated audience.
