Jenna Ortega is back not only as lead actor, but she's also a producer this time around, something she greatly enjoyed.
"It's been the best," she said. "I've never really done that on a TV show before and we had talked about it first season. And it's so nice being a part of these conversations, because I love what I do and I love my job, but I'm able to be a part of the background stuff.
"I get to decide, like, how blue somebody's gonna be, or where the brains go on the floor, what prosthetics look like," she quipped. "It's so exciting. It's so much fun, actually. I'm learning so much. It's so informative."
Wednesday streams on Netflix, with season 2 on the way.

Emmerdale airs heartbreaking update on Nate's daughter in early ITVX episode
follow from , which is available to watch now on ITVX but hasn't yet aired on ITV1. Emmerdale airs the emotional fallout from Nate Robinson's death tonight – as Tracy reveals how their young daughter Frankie is responding to the terrible news. As suspicion and accusations continue to run rife around the village, there's a sobering moment as Tracy explains that 4-year-old Frankie is struggling to understand her father's fate. Tracy insists on working as usual at the local shop, but her boss Eric Pollard fears that she needs to take some time out. When Eric questions how things are at home, Tracy replies: "Frankie doesn't really understand that her dad's properly gone forever. "And I don't really know how to feel." Related: Later, Belle Dingle pays a visit to Tracy at home to check on her. Tracy explains that she's made little progress with helping Frankie to understand the reality of the situation. Tracy says: "She's [upstairs] watching cartoons for 10 minutes. A nice distraction, because she doesn't understand why her mum's so upset all the time." The emotional scenes come as two opposing theories over Nate's fate dominate discussion in the village. Tracy is convinced that Cain Dingle was responsible for Nate's demise, as he violently attacked his son on the day that he disappeared from the village. Related: Cain, meanwhile, reckons Tracy is deflecting to cover up her own guilt in the case. With everyone on the wrong track, it's good news for Nate's real killer John Sugden. John accidentally caused Nate's death last September and hid his body in a local lake. So far, nobody suspects that he's responsible for the terrible crime. Related: Amy Walsh, who plays Tracy, recently said: "Everything that unfolds after the initial news of Nate's death is just heartbreaking. And obviously the main person Tracy's thinking of in all of this is Frankie. "It's that whole concept of Frankie losing him as a dad and how amazing he was as a dad to her. And weirdly, how amazing Jurell [Carter, who played Nate] was with Frankie, who's played by Eden [Ratcliffe-Knights]. "It pulls on the heartstrings a bit for me, I have to say." Emmerdale airs these scenes tonight at 7.30pm on ITV1. The episode is also streaming now on airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.

Love Island confirms first bombshell to enter villa in show first
Love Island has confirmed the first bombshell of season 12. The ITV2 dating show kicks off a new season tomorrow night, introducing a new batch of singletons looking for love in the sun. Ahead of the launch episode, the first bombshell who will be entering the villa to shake things up for the original 12 Islanders has been confirmed. Toni, a 24-year-old pool cabana server from Connecticut, will make a bombshell entrance, marking the first American contestant to appear on the UK version of the show. The news was first teased in a video shared to Love Island's official Instagram page yesterday, in which host Maya Jama received a voice note from a mystery American. Related: Best streaming services "Hey Maya. I heard you want more twists. How about an American bombshell? Get ready. I'm on my way," the Islander teased, to which Maya added: "Alright, there's the sweet, sweet sounds of an American." Toni was officially confirmed today, revealing in a pre-entrance Q&A that she's looking for someone who "can make me laugh" and who's "quite active". She's also excited about the prospect of dating a British man, saying: "I've lived in three different states and I'm still single. It's time to try something new! "I have some British friends and they're pretty charming. I think all Americans love a good accent. British men are just more polite, with better manners." Related: Toni, who works as a pool cabana server in Sin City, Las Vegas, said she is "willing to relocate" for love, though it "would just break my heart to not have my job anymore". As for what kind of Islander she'll be, Toni said: "I don't want to be super messy. I'm not really like that. "I'm hoping to come out with friends of course. I guess I'm the party starter, I want everyone to have fun." Love Island starts Monday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Alan Alda, Mike Farrell Among Those Paying Tribute to Loretta Swit: 'A Supremely Talented Actor'
Hollywood is paying tribute to Loretta Swit after news of her death was announced Friday. According to a police report, the M*A*S*H star died of suspected natural causes at her home in New York City, her publicist, Harlan Boll, announced. More from The Hollywood Reporter Renée Victor, Voice of Abuelita in 'Coco,' Dies at 86 Devin Harjes, 'Boardwalk Empire,' 'Daredevil' and 'Gotham' Actor, Dies at 41 Sherry Robb, Literary Agent, Talent Manager and Producer, Dies at 81 Swit appeared in all but 11 episodes of M*A*S*H during its 11-season run, earning two Emmys for her portrayal of Maj. Margaret 'Hot Lips' Houlihan. Notably, she was nominated for 10 Emmys, one for every season she appeared in except season one. After her tenure in the medical war drama, she went on to star in several films, including Freebie and the Bean (1974), Race With the Devil (1975), S.O.B. (1981) and BoardHeads (1998). Alan Alda, Swit's longtime M*A*S*H co-star, paid tribute to her on X. 'Loretta was a supremely talented actor. She deserved all her 10 EMMY nominations and her 2 wins. But more than acting her part, she created it,' he wrote on Friday. 'She worked hard in showing the writing staff how they could turn the character from a one joke sexist stereotype into a real person — with real feelings and ambitions. We celebrated the day the script came out, listing her character not as Hot Lips but as Margaret. Loretta made the most of her time here.' Mike Farrell, who joined the series in season four, shared a photo of the late actress on Instagram, writing, 'Loretta… 1937-2025.' In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Jamie Farr, who portrayed Corporal Maxwell Q. Klinger in M*A*S*H, said, 'Our dear Loretta was so talented, beautiful and an exceptional friend. There is a void in my life now and I shall always have a very special place for her in my heart. May her memory be eternal.' Also in a statement to THR, Journey Gunderson, the executive director of the National Comedy Center, said, 'Loretta Swit's portrayal of Margaret 'Hot Lips' Houlihan was groundbreaking – bringing heart, humor, and strength to one of television comedy's most enduring roles. Her talent extended well beyond that iconic character, with acclaimed work on both stage and screen that showcased her intelligence, versatility, and passion. That legacy endures through the cultural impact of MASH, which is proudly represented in the National Comedy Center.'
