Jenna Ortega’s dance card is looking packed. In addition to appearing in the new installment of the ‘Scream‘ franchise, she’s also returning for the second season of ‘Wednesday.’
Jenna Ortega, as Ellie, is one of the few people aware of Joe’s murderous appetite. We’ve seen how the show keeps calling back the ghosts of Joe’s past. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say Ellie will return.
Sara Gamble confirms the following theory: “Any character who’s not dead who knows anything about Joe, it’s fair game to try to exert any justice. And any character who is dead, he has a really active imagination.”
