‘You’ season 4: ‘Wednesday’ prevented the return of Jenna Ortega

The first part of season 4 of ‘You’ is already here. The suspense series premiered this week in the Netflix series catalog with Penn Badgley returning as lead Joe Goldberg, how could it be otherwise. However, it is not the only return that the producers had in mind for the fourth season. Jenna Ortegawho appeared in season 2, was also scheduled to return in the new episodes of ‘You’, but the shooting schedule for ‘Wednesday’ prevented him.

“We wanted to bring Ellie back and we heard, ‘Oh, Jenna’s doing a new series.‘”, said Sera Gamble, showrunner of ‘You’. “It has been a pleasure to see Jenna this year. We have ideas for Ellie if her schedule allows her to visit us again.”.

let’s drop some SPOILERS for season 2 of ‘You’. More than 3 years have passed, but it never hurts to warn.

The actress, who we will soon see in ‘Scream 6’ and in season 2 of ‘Wednesday’, played the character of Ellie Alves in the second season of ‘You’, one of the most watched series on Netflix. Ellie was Joe’s neighbor, living with her older sister Delilah (Carmela Zumbado) in the same development as hers. Ellie has dreams of becoming a film director but runs into Ellie’s sexual predator Henderson (Chris D’Elia), who tries to drug and abuse her. Joe, who befriended Ellie, prevented this from happening by murdering the stalker, but Delilah also dies at the hands of Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti), Joe’s partner.

The protagonist Joe Goldberg takes pity on Ellie and gives her some money to move to another city and start from scratch.. Although she is mentioned in ‘You’ season 3, she ultimately did not return to the series. Jenna Ortega, however, was open to the possibility and in 2020 she responded to several of the theories of the fans, who believed that his character would take revenge on Joe and Love by trying to kill them. “To me, that doesn’t fit the purpose of Ellie’s story. She Right now she’s someone incredibly hurt and screwed over so much, so bringing her back and making her a killer like Joe doesn’t serve her purpose, because she’s not like that and that’s not in his heart.”
