Jenna Ortega Provides An Update On ‘Wednesday’ Season 2, Reveals How Much Filming’s Been Done

Buy Me A Coffee

Our goth queen, Jenna Ortega, is serving us a fresh scoop on the highly anticipated second season of Wednesday! The 21-year-old star has pressed the “pause” button on her creepy-cool antics to, well, haunt us with another project. Whatโ€™s that project, you ask? Oh, just a small film called Beetlejuice Beetlejuice… because when youโ€™re Jenna, one โ€˜Beetlejuiceโ€™ is never enough.

During a casual chat (and by casual, I mean she’s probably draped in black lace while sipping on something far too mysterious), Jenna opened up about where things stand with Wednesday season 2. Spoiler alert: Things are happening, people. Big, spooky things.

โ€œWeโ€™re knee-deep in it. Like, imagine wading through a swamp of piranhas, but in a good way,โ€ Jenna quipped to ET. “We’ve wrapped four episodes already, which is either a really good sign or the beginning of a horror movie plot twist. But, honestly, everything’s going smoothly… for now.”

And guess what? It’s not just the same gloomy antics with a little extra eyeliner. Oh no, friends, theyโ€™re going big. Bigger sets, bigger arcs, and, naturally, bigger weird. โ€œWeโ€™re sticking to the roots, but itโ€™s become this grand tree of chaos,” Jenna explained. โ€œThe characters? Full glow-up. Set pieces? Mind-blowing. Storylines? Buckle up, because this ride is wild from the get-go. Itโ€™s basically like if a rollercoaster and a haunted house had a really intense baby.โ€

When asked if diving into the spooky pool of Wednesday Addams for round two is as terrifying as the first time, Jenna kept it real.

โ€œThe first time was a mix of excitement and sheer panic. You know, the whole โ€˜working with Tim Burtonโ€™ thing and the fact that literally everyone on the planet has opinions on Wednesday Addams… no pressure, right?โ€ she said with a chuckle (probably a slightly haunted one). โ€œThereโ€™s this weird vibe of, โ€˜Hey, letโ€™s reboot an iconic character that everyoneโ€™s obsessed with… what could go wrong?โ€™ But now, weโ€™ve found our groove. We know what weโ€™re doing. Kinda.โ€

But donโ€™t think the pressureโ€™s off. Oh no, now itโ€™s all about pushing the boundaries further, making everything bigger, better, and spookier than ever before. “The pressure is still there, but now itโ€™s more like a creepy, welcome friend whoโ€™s always hanging out in the shadows,” Jenna joked. “But seriously, we’ve hit our stride, and itโ€™s a joy. Like, the ‘Oh no, I mightโ€™ve accidentally summoned a demon, but this is fun’ kind of joy.โ€

Wednesday season 2 started filming back in May, over in Ireland, where everything’s greener, rainier, and probably haunted by 16th-century ghosts. Stay tuned, because if you thought season 1 was creepy, season 2 is about to make you check under your bedโ€ฆ twice.
