Jenna Ortega Shares Update On ‘Wednesday' Season 3 & Teases Season 2: 'There's A Whole Episode Based Off Of Slashers'
Jenna Ortega is spilling the tea on Wednesday's upcoming second season. Although filming for Season 2 of the Netflix series has wrapped, Ortega said she's 'not really done' yet. More from Deadline Lady Gaga Cast In 'Wednesday' Season 2 At Netflix 'Wednesday' Season 2: Everything We Know About The Cast, Premiere Date & More Jenna Ortega Reflects On Early Acting Role In 'Iron Man 3' Where Her Lines Were Cut: "I Count That, Then I Move On" 'We're still in the edit. I was doing ADR for it two weeks ago,' Ortega told Collider in an interview recently. 'That's the funny thing about these jobs is you're done, you wrap, but you're not really done. So, I'll probably be working on it until the end.' Although the streamer has not announced when the new season of Wednesday will drop, Ortega teased there would be 'a lot of horror references.' 'Visually, I can say we have some of the most fun we've ever had. It's crazy to talk about one frame like this, but there is a frame of Pugsley rolling his eyes back with this contraption around his head—that's all I can say— and it reminds me so much of Full Metal Jacket,' she said. 'It's insane. So bizarre.' RELATED: She continued, 'I just feel like there are a lot of scenes and frames, and there's a whole episode based off of slashers, and we make a lot of horror references. So, everything about it, I feel like we kind of had a little bit more trust, and therefore, we felt like we could do bigger, more elaborate sequences, which is nice.' The Death of a Unicorn star also noted that Netflix has not given Wednesday 'an official thumbs up' for a third season with Ortega adding, 'I know that the writers are… With a show like that, you kind of want to get ahead of the game. So, I think that they're kind of messing around and throwing out ideas.' RELATED: Alfred Gough and Miles Millar created the series, which follows the titular character (Ortega) to Nevermore Academy, where she learns to master her emerging psychic abilities. The cast of Wednesday Season 2 includes Catherine Zeta-Jones, who plays Wednesday's mom Morticia Addams; Luis Guzmán (Wednesday's dad Gomez Addams); Isaac Ordonez (Wednesday's younger brother Pugsley Addams); and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo (Sheriff Deputy Ritchie Santiago). Additions to the cast include Billie Piper as Capri, Steve Buscemi as Barry Dort, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, and Noah Taylor.
