Jenna Ortega Embraces Gothic Glamour as Wednesday Addams for Netflix Premiere
WEDNESDAY ADDAMS IS BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER!
Get ready, Addams Family fans, because the beloved Netflix series is coming back for not one, but TWO more seasons! And, if that's not enough, a spin-off show is also in the works! We've got all the juicy details on what's to come from the eccentric and macabre world of Nevermore Academy.
Jenna Ortega, who stars as the titular Wednesday Addams, made headlines at the Paris premiere of the show's second season, channelling her inner gothic goddess in a distressed brown floor-length gown. The petite actress showed off her style and sassiness in the daringly high slit dress, paired with a matching belt and towering platform heels that added inches to her already statuesque frame.
But it's not just about Jenna's red-carpet look; we've got all the scoop on what fans can expect from the upcoming seasons. The second series of Wednesday was announced back in January 2023, but it's been over two years in the making – and trust us, it'll be worth the wait! With a star-studded cast, including Lady Gaga, Joanna Lumley, Steve Buscemi, and Thandiwe Newton joining the fray, this season promises to be even more twisted and tantalizing than the last.
But don't just take our word for it; co-creator Alfred Gough has confirmed that there's plenty of material to explore in the Addams Family universe. "It's something we're definitely noodling," he teased. And Netflix chief content officer Bela Bajaria added, "There's a lot to explore in the Addams Family." It seems like the possibilities are endless!
And if one more season wasn't enough, a third installment is also on its way! But that's not all – fans of the show can also look forward to a spin-off series. "It's official... we shall return," posted Catherine Zeta-Jones on Instagram, expressing her excitement for the upcoming seasons.
But what about Jenna and Tim Burton's working relationship? It seems like the pair have been through thick and thin together, having worked on the 2024 sequel to Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice. They've even told all about what fans can expect from the second series, with Jenna revealing that she's now a producer on the show.
In a recent podcast interview, Jenna made some comments that sparked controversy among fans. She revealed that she spent her time on the show "changing lines" and "had to put my foot down" because "everything I had to play did not make sense for the character." But don't worry, folks – it seems like Jenna's intention was misunderstood. And co-creator Alfred Gough praised her involvement in every aspect of the show.
Wednesday's first series pulled in a whopping 252million viewers globally, making it Netflix's biggest English-language series of all time. So, what are you waiting for? Get ready to sink your teeth into the twisted world of Nevermore Academy!
