While Jenna Ortega's star was already on the rise thanks to her work in Scream and Scream VI, her star rose dramatically with the debut of Wednesday Season 1 on Netflix in November 2022. Death of a Unicorn writer-director Alex Scharfman told The Hollywood Reporter in March that he sent his script to Ortega the weekend before the debut of Wednesday Season 1. When he and Ortega met, the filmmaker immediately knew she was the right person to play Ridley, whom he calls 'the emotional center of the movie.' 'I don't know what we would've done if we didn't get Jenna. It's such a hard role, and she does such an incredible job with it,' Sharfman told THR. 'Aligning things with her schedule was not necessarily a challenge because it ended up working out relatively easily, but there's always that dance of, 'How can this happen?' 'But there was a really great vibe as of our first meeting, and she really got the character,' Scharfman added. 'She also got what I was trying to do on a genre and story level, and she was just incredible as a collaborator and performer.' Death of a Unicorn, starring Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd, is expected to arrive on PVOD on Tuesday.
