The second season of ‘Wednesday‘ will be more macabre and less romantic. Jenna Ortega has revealed that the love triangle will be thrown out. The focus will be on the show’s gothic and noir roots. Ortega, now a producer on the show, sat down with Elle Fanning to talk about journies as actors.
The ‘Scream’ actress talked about her experiences filming her Netflix series in Romania and her love for the crew. The interview soon took an emotional turn when she addressed the harsh social media comments. In light of her online criticism, she has taken a break from social media.

Jenna Ortega is sharing what the audience should look forward to from the upcoming season of ‘Wednesday.’ The show will abandon the lingering romantic for exploration of the much darker aspects of the story. The young actress is now a producer on the series that made her a household name. She was hands-on every step of the way, be it the costumes or the scripts.
During Variety’s Actors on Actors, Ortega talked at length about what’s next in store for her with Elle Fanning, “We’re ditching any romantic love interest for Wednesday, which is really great. We had already been throwing out so many ideas, and I’m somebody who’s very hands on. I want to know what’s going on,”
She added, “And with a character like Wednesday, who is so beloved and such a legend, I just really didn’t want to get her wrong. So I try to have as many conversations as possible. On set, with the writers and Tim [Burton], we all would get together and decide, ‘Okay, what works and what doesn’t?’ It was naturally already very collaborative.”

It’s very easy to feel out of control.” Thanks to her friends and family, she’s currently on a hiatus from the trappings of online validation.
