“It’s so rare to find an iconic character of this stature,” said the executive. “We really try to find ways to [destacar isso] in an authentic way.” It is worth remembering how Jenna Ortega He is of Mexican and Puerto Rican descent.

“What Wandinha listened to when you were a kid? Which [instrumento] gomez [interpretado por Luis Guzmán] would you play? Finding moments where we could really make her look like a girl who grew up in New Jersey with a Latino father,” continued Millar.

How would that resonate with her as a teenager? Certainly this season, we’re looking for more ways to explore that.

At another point in the conversation, Miles Millar revealed how he and the screenwriter Al Gough were surprised by the resounding success of the Netflix. “While we thought it was an easy thing, a lot of people clearly didn’t,” she said. “We thought, ‘Well, maybe it’s a hit, more like a high school show. CW.'”
