AceShowbiz - With Season 2 of the hit Netflix series "Wednesday" wrapped and in the editing phase, Jenna Ortega gives fans a tantalizing hint at what they can expect from the upcoming outing.
In a recent interview with Collider, the actress who plays the titular character revealed that although filming for the second season has concluded, the work is far from over.
Ortega shared, "We're still in the edit. I was doing ADR for it two weeks ago. That's the funny thing about these jobs is you're done, you wrap, but you're not really done. So, I'll probably be working on it until the end."
While Netflix hasn't announced the release date for the new season, Ortega teased some exciting elements. "Visually, I can say we have some of the most fun we've ever had," she said.
"It's crazy to talk about one frame like this, but there is a frame of Pugsley rolling his eyes back with this contraption around his head - that's all I can say - and it reminds me so much of Full Metal Jacket," she said. "It's insane. So bizarre."
According to Ortega, the second season will be packed with horror references and a whole episode dedicated to slasher films.
"I just feel like there are a lot of scenes and frames, and there's a whole episode based off of slashers, and we make a lot of horror references. So, everything about it, I feel like we kind of had a little bit more trust, and therefore, we felt like we could do bigger, more elaborate sequences, which is nice," she added.
Fans can also look forward to a more intricate storyline as showrunners and executive producers Al Gough and Miles Millar hint at a "darker and more complex" journey for Wednesday as she navigates family, friends, new mysteries, and old adversaries during her second year at Nevermore Academy.
Season 2 will see the return of familiar faces like Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Luis Guzman as Gomez Addams, Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams, and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo as Sheriff Deputy Ritchie Santiago. New additions to the cast include Lady GaGa, Billie Piper, Steve Buscemi, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, and Noah Taylor.
Reflecting on the future of the series, Ortega mentioned, "I know that the writers are⦠With a show like that, you kind of want to get ahead of the game. So, I think that they're kind of messing around and throwing out ideas."
However, she confirmed that Netflix has yet to give an official green light for a third season. For now, fans can binge-watch the first season on Netflix and anticipate a thrilling continuation in Season 2, set to premiere later this year.
