The show, based on the daughter from The Addams Family, will return next week after the original run became a ratings hit following its release in 2022.
On the reception to the first series, Jenna, 22, said: 'I'm still very appreciative and grateful.
"We didn't know that anyone was going to watch the show.
'You do these things and you don't know what's to come, so it was very overwhelming.'
A former child star, Jenna was catapulted into the A list when Wednesday – viewed 252 million times and counting – launched in 2022.
And by her own refreshingly candid admission, that rapid rise to the top was overwhelming.
'To be quite frank, after the show and trying to figure everything out, I was an unhappy person,' she told Harper's Bazaar in May.
'After the pressure, the attention – as somebody who's quite introverted, that was so intense and so scary.'
The eight-month shoot in Romania had been challenging, with Jenna revealing: 'I was alone. Never had any hot water. The boilers in two of my apartments were broken, so I always took cold showers.'
At least she'll be getting a warm welcome from Wednesday fans as the show returns to their screens.

Romeo Beckham shares cryptic tattoo amid family feud with brother Brooklyn
Romeo Beckham added a new tattoo to his extensive ink collection, which comes after it was revealed Brooklyn no longer follows him and brother Cruz on social media Romeo Beckham showed off his brand-new tattoo on Tuesday, adding to his already extensive ink collection. Just like his father and brothers, the 22-year-old is covered in endless tattoos and his latest one is a short phrase that some have taken as a dig at his brother, Brooklyn Beckham. The Beckham family have been embroiled in a massive feud in recent months. The family feud appeared to gather pace when Brooklyn failed to attend his father's 50th birthday party in May, which, according to reports, left David heartbroken. It also emerged that neither Nicola Peltz nor Brooklyn was following his brother's Instagram accounts. But according to the publication, sources revealed that it was in fact Cruz and Romeo who have blocked Brooklyn. It comes after Cruz Beckham 'steals' his dad's tiny white trunks and family have epic response. And now, Romeo seemingly took a dig at Brooklyn with his new tattoo. The star took to his social media page to share the phrase 'C'est La Vie' which he got tattooed on top of his shoulder. The tattoo is French for 'that's life' or 'such is life'. The phrase is used to say that certain situations happen in life, and there is nothing you could do about them. It comes several weeks after Romeo issued a sharp response to Brooklyn seemingly unfollowing him and Cruz on social media. Romeo posted a screenshot of his Spotify, showing he was listening to a song entitled Walking Away, from Justin Bieber's new surprise album, titled Swag. Along with the screenshot, he wrote: "Yup" in a one word response to his brother's latest brutal move. He has also returned the favour by unfollowing Brooklyn on Instagram, too. Romeo also does not follow Brooklyn's wife, Nicola, on Instagram. The feuding siblings' brother Cruz, 20, also doesn't follow Brooklyn on Instagram. Meanwhile, those close to Brooklyn told The Sun last month that Brooklyn and Nicola did not unfollow the brothers and had "no idea" about it until he read about it online. "It's possible Romeo and Cruz blocked them, which would make it appear as him no longer following the brothers," they said. "He and Nicola certainly didn't unfollow them or block them — they're as confused as anyone else. The first they heard about it was when it was being reported on." Hot sauce entrepreneur Brooklyn still follows his famous mum and dad, so it is unclear if a war of words between himself and his brothers may have been happening behind the scenes.

Pamela Anderson addresses comparisons to Meghan Markle's cooking show
Pamela Anderson addressed comparisons between her cooking series, Pamela's Cooking with Love, an d Meghan Markle 's With Love, Meghan. During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Anderson was asked if she felt Markle's show was a 'rip-off' of hers. Anderson responded by saying 'One' on a scale of one to 10, adding that she 'didn't invent cooking shows' and Markle is 'just doing her thing'. Meghan Markle's eight-part series received harsh criticism from reviewers, with The Independent calling it 'queasy and exhausting' and The Guardian describing it as 'gormless lifestyle filler'. Despite a second season of Markle's show being due, reports indicate that Meghan and Prince Harry's five-year deal with Netflix will not be renewed when it expires in September.

During the finale, Yasmin's twin sister Zara and mum Mitra hosted a TikTok livestream. Speaking in the clip, Mitra said: "What you don't understand is this is not a paid vote. "If it's not a paid vote, you cannot see the results. That means they can say whatever they want. "Do you understand? For you to see the result - a correct result that people vote - you have to pay cash. "Because this is free voting, they decide." Mitra referenced Yasmin and Dejon writing each other's names on their boards during a villa game. The Islanders were asked who they'd couple up with if their actual partner wasn't in the villa. She added: "I always knew after that episode that Yasmin's not going to win - because of the way they edited it." The Sun has approached ITV for comment. Maya Jama says she 'blacked out' during Love Island final as she praises 'most dramatic series yet' However, ITV have refuted Mitra's claims by releasing the finale's voting percentages. Winners Toni and Cach secured an impressive 33.5% of the audience's support. Shakira and Harry drew a sizeable 26.2% of the votes, while Yas and Jamie were not far behind taking 22% on the nose. Aesthetics practitioner Angel, 26, only made her debut on July 17, but managed to secure an impressive 18.3% of the overall voting audience with Casa Amor boy Ty. As for Yasmin, she entered the villa on Day 5 alongside fellow bombshells Emily and Malisha. She then explored connections with villa boys Shea, Conor, Harry and Ben. Yasmin met Jamie during Casa Amor - and their bond continued into the final. Love Island airs on ITV2 and ITVX.
