Actress Jenna Ortega, along with the creative team behind Netflix’s popular series “Wednesday,” aims to exceed expectations as the show prepares for its return after nearly three years. The first season of the dark fantasy series debuted in November 2022 and quickly became Netflix’s most-watched English-language series, achieving over 252 million views in its first 91 days.

For the upcoming second season, Ortega, 22, will reprise her role as the titular character and take on the additional responsibilities of an executive producer. Tim Burton will also return as a director and executive producer. In discussing her commitment to the character, Ortega emphasized the necessity of doing justice to Wednesday Adams. “I just want to make sure that we’re always doing her justice,” she said, highlighting the unique opportunities that come with developing a more in-depth portrayal of the character.

In this new season, Wednesday returns to Nevermore Academy, celebrated as a hero—much to her annoyance. She will explore new supernatural mysteries, all while grappling with the intricacies of her psychic powers which may be experiencing glitches. Adding to her challenges, Wednesday’s little brother Pugsley will begin his studies at Nevermore, and their parents will frequently appear on campus.

This new season has also built anticipation among fans, with new casting announcements, such as Lady Gaga joining the series as a teacher, Rosaline Rotwood. The creative team’s commitment to quality storytelling, along with the proven success of the first season and engaging upcoming plots, suggests promising prospects for “Wednesday” as it aims to attract both returning and new viewers.

Overall, the excitement surrounding the show’s return signifies a strong cultural moment within the growing trend of reviving beloved characters and franchises. As Jenna Ortega, Tim Burton, and the creative team work collaboratively, the potential to further expand Wednesday’s captivating narrative inspires hope for immersive storytelling that resonates with audiences worldwide.
