Jenna Ortega Teases Darker Season 2 of Wednesday

Jenna Ortega has teased a darker tone for the upcoming season 2 of Netflix's 'Wednesday', drawing inspiration from the horror classic 'The Masque of the Red Death'. As Ortega has taken a more active role in the creative process, she hinted at the introduction of new villains, supernatural abilities, and an increased focus on horror elements, while still ensuring the content remains suitable for younger audiences. Fans are eager for the return of familiar characters and hope to see deeper explorations of relationships, particularly between Wednesday and her mother, Morticia, who will have a more significant role this season. Additionally, there are calls for more character development for Thing, Wednesday's loyal companion, who could be featured in his own subplot. The production for season 2 began in April 2024, amid some delays due to Hollywood strikes, but fans remain excited about the forthcoming season.
