Jenna Ortega Says 'Everything's Bigger' in “Wednesday” Season 2: 'Each Episode' Will Feel 'Like a Movie'

"We're definitely leaning into a little bit more horror," the Emmy-nominated actress teased on Monday, at the 2023 Emmy Awards

Jenna Ortega is spilling secrets about the next season of Wednesday.

The Emmy nominee, 21, will soon reprise her role in the Netflix Tim Burton series, this time as a producer as well.

Ortega told Laverne Cox during E!'s red carpet pre-show at the 75th annual Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday that she has received scripts for the new season.

"What I can say ... [is] we're definitely leaning into a little bit more horror," the Scream actress teased. "It's really, really exciting because all throughout the show, Wednesday does need a bit of an arc, she never really changes, and that's the wonderful thing about her."

She added, "There's some really, really good one-liners. And I think everything's bigger. It's a lot more action-packed. I think each episode will probably feel a little bit like a movie, which is nice."

While on Variety’s Actors on Actors in June, Ortega said the second season of Wednesday will depart from romance.

“We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror aspect of the show a little bit more," she said at the time. "Because it is so lighthearted, and a show like this with vampires and werewolves and superpowers, you don’t want to take yourself too seriously."

"We’re ditching any romantic love interest for Wednesday, which is really great," added Ortega.

Wednesday was renewed for a second season in January 2023 after the debut season of the The Addams Family spinoff proved to be a smash hit. Ortega also reunites with director Burton for the upcoming Beetlejuice sequel movie, which comes over 35 years after the 1988 original.
