A true phenomenon upon release, Wednesday is once again grabbing headlines as the Emmy Awards approach, a ceremony that honors the best TV series of the past year. The show’s star, Jenna Ortega, is already in the running for Best Actress. In this regard, the actor revealed new details of the 2nd season.
In meeting Produced with Elle Fanning varietyWednesday Adams’ interpreter reveals a major change for the sequel: more horror and less, if any, romance. “ It’s still ongoing, but we decided to delve into the horror. We’re going to give up any romantic intrigue, which is really great– he was happy.
He continues: “We’re going for something bolder, darker.” Good news for those who regretted that the first season didn’t go far enough. This decision, one can imagine, was motivated by Jenna Ortega herself, who is very invested in writing her character, which earned her some criticism.
It remains to be seen how far Netflix will be able to push the slider towards horror. A real challenge for the platform when you know that the series was first conceived as a program for all audiences.
We may have to wait longer than expected to find out about this season 2. Hollywood is currently being hit hard by a writers’ strike led by the Writers Guild of America union. Filming on Wednesday cannot begin until the scripts for the episodes are written.
There’s also no word on whether filmmaker Tim Burton will return behind the camera to direct some of the episodes. The director is currently filming the Beetlejuice sequel in London with Michael Keaton, Monica Bellucci and… Jenna Ortegawho will also play the daughter of the returning Winona Ryder character.
Wednesday is available on Netflix.
