Wednesday is on fire - everyone loved Jenna Ortega's creepy cool character on Netflix. Season 1, with those mysterious vibes, the whole Nevermore Academy thing, the Addams Family intrigue - it's a mega hit! But wait - there's a twist. Jenna Ortega didn't exactly love the original script!
It was one crazy drama, because she said "I'm not in charge, so yeah, it's all very complicated!". Fans were up in arms - is it okay for actors to rewrite, should they even say stuff like this, does this make Wednesday look bad? All those thoughts came up. But, with season 2 on the horizon, Jenna got bumped up from being the star to actually being a producer.
The controversy around Wednesday's writing really got heated! Jenna got some backlash. A few people even said she shouldn't get to complain when the writers' guild was fighting for fair treatment. It was one messy situation and definitely not what we all expected. I mean, we want stars to feel supported, but rewriting seems like an "uh-oh" territory.
Apparently, the reason this all happened was Jenna was pretty clear - she wanted to make sure Wednesday's character lived up to its expectations! Who could blame her, right? That Addams Family charm and weird vibes, those iconic moments are pretty big shoes to fill! But with those strong words and everyone paying attention - Jenna became a producer.
So, we are expecting a slightly different Wednesday with Jenna at the producer's table - a touch more horror! Less teen drama and more, "creepy, twisted, mysterious Wednesday". She even said so herself: “It’s almost gonna feel like a horror show a little bit”. Okay, we can definitely do with more creepy vibes and fewer love triangles - just what the doctor ordered. This whole "Addams Family" charm gets lost a little with that highschool romance. I don’t think anyone's going to miss the drama part though!
It's been almost a year since we got the last episode and I’m super ready for season 2 to start streaming. Season 1 was super well-done. This darker vibe that Jenna is creating might bring more "Addams Family" nostalgia! Who knows - we might get to see the actual family at Nevermore! We'll see what Jenna’s "creative" energy comes up with and hopefully it's good!
Jenna is obviously thrilled, because now she’ll have a say on the way she brings this super unique Addams family girl to life! From those super powerful psychic skills to dealing with a murder mystery - it was so cool and exciting!
Fans are really curious about the whole 'supernatural mystery' vibe with the second season. We’ve seen a few hints and those trailers - there’s definitely something dark coming to Nevermore Academy and Wednesday is going to face some even more twisted and unexpected moments, but it's super fun and exciting to guess! With Jenna Ortega on board as the new producer, it looks like we’ll be watching a new kind of Addams family magic take the stage. I guess we can all add "producer" to Jenna's "most loved" resume.
