The Wednesday series will be featured on Netflix’s Geeked Week, which will take place next September. But in the meantime, Jenna Ortega is building up the hype for Season 2.
Wednesday is one of Netflix’s biggest hits and, therefore, it is logical that the company with the red N has ordered a season 2. We do not yet know the date or the release window, but these details could perhaps be revealed soon. In addition, the cast could be further expanded during the event organized by the platform to highlight its future films and series. We will see it more clearly very soon, but Jenna Ortega, who became the executive producer of the sequel, has leaked new information. The Netflix box will change everything, they say!
A change of tone for Wednesday, Season 2
Jenna Ortega warned that the second season will be very different from the first on Wednesday. “I thought it would be much darker” the actress explained, expressing her disappointment with the tone of the first episodes. But now that she can really voice her opinion and influence decisions, she is even more involved. During the Emmy Awards, she confirmed that we should expect a scarier dimension and also more action. « I have now received a few scripts for the second season and we are definitely on our way to some more horror ».
In a profile produced by Vanity Fair, Jenna Ortega made this horrific aspect even more present. « I think the atmosphere we’re going for is a little more horror-inspired. That doesn’t mean it’s suddenly going to be the most gory show ever. I mean, there are six-year-olds watching. But we have a sequence where Wednesday looks like this. It’s a kind of jump scare in itself. » explains the actress. Obviously, a source of inspiration was the 1964 film “The Masque of the Red Death”, an adaptation of the short story by Edgar Allan Poe. An author who, as we know, is known for his darkness.
The duo Morticia and Gomez will get more time on screen
This second season of Wednesday will be more horror-oriented, but will also highlight the couple Gomez (Luis Guzman) and Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones), the parents of the young teenager. It must be said that the two were almost absent from season 1. Jenna Ortega revealed that the mother-daughter relationship would be further developed. “I have a lot of respect for this woman. She’s a good person, a cool person. She doesn’t think too much. She doesn’t take herself too seriously, but she enjoys the dramatic side of things. Which is perfect for a character like Morticia.”. It also introduces new characters, including two voiced by Steve Buscemi and Thandiwe Newton.
