Jenna Ortega Has Some Changes in Mind for Wednesday Season 2

“I think, me personally, I would love to see the series get a little bit darker,” she told E! News’ Justin Sylvester and Zuri Hall on the 2023 Golden Globes red carpet Jan. 10. “Embrace the horror aspect a little bit more.”

The 20-year-old shared similar sentiments in her recent episode of Dax Shepard‘s Armchair Expert podcast.

“I don’t think I’ve ever had to put my foot down on a set in the way that I had to on Wednesday because it’s so easy to fall into that category, especially with this type of show,” Jenna said March 6. “Everything that she does, everything that I had to play, did not make sense for her character at all. Her being in a love triangle made no sense.”

And speaking of horror, the actress also teased what to expect from Scream VI—even if she didn’t actually know how it ended herself.
