The macabre and mysterious halls of Nevermore Academy are about to get even darker, and Jenna Ortega couldn't be more excited. The 22-year-old actress, who won over audiences with her brooding and brilliant portrayal of Wednesday Addams, has just dropped a bombshell—season two of Netflix's gothic sensation Wednesday is set to deliver some of the best scenes yet.
In an exclusive chat with E! News, Ortega revealed that the upcoming season will not only surpass expectations but also features some of her favorite moments from the entire series. "Some of the footage that we shot in Wednesday season two, especially in the last episode, is some of my favorite footage from the show," she shared. And when an actress like Ortega, known for her sharp eye for storytelling, hypes up a finale, you know it's going to be legendary.
Guiding this spine-chilling spectacle once again is none other than the visionary Tim Burton. Ortega gushed about the famed director, praising his ability to turn every moment on set into a gothic masterpiece. "Tim really had a ball," she revealed. "Everything is very graphic, very exciting, and inspiring to work with someone like that." With Burton's eerie brilliance steering the ship, fans can expect a second season packed with haunting visuals and unexpected twists.
The road to completing Wednesday season two wasn't without its challenges. Ortega admitted that stepping into the same role for months on end was no easy feat. "Playing a character for eight months—it's not always easy," she confessed. "Sometimes it's a crawl to the finish line." But with a character as rich and layered as Wednesday Addams, she never lost motivation.
And if that wasn't thrilling enough, pop icon Lady Gaga is set to make an appearance in the upcoming season. While her exact role remains a well-guarded secret, the Abracadabra singer couldn't contain her excitement. "I want to keep it extra secret—but I love Jenna and I really had an amazing time!" she told Entertainment Weekly.
With high expectations, a stellar cast, and Burton's dark magic at play, Wednesday season two is shaping up to be the ultimate gothic spectacle. Fans better brace themselves—Nevermore Academy is about to be creepier, kookier, and more mind-blowing than ever.
