Jenna Ortega is spilling the details on what fans can expect from the highly anticipated second season of Wednesday.
Although filming for Season 2 of the hit Netflix series has wrapped, Ortega revealed she’s still actively involved in post-production.
“We’re still in the edit. I was doing ADR for it two weeks ago,” Ortega shared in a recent interview. “That’s the funny thing about these jobs—you’re done, you wrap, but you’re not really done. So, I’ll probably be working on it until the end.”
More Horror Elements in Season 2
Netflix has yet to announce an official release date for Wednesday Season 2, but Ortega teased that the upcoming season will feature “a lot of horror references.”
“Visually, I can say we have some of the most fun we’ve ever had. It’s crazy to talk about one frame like this, but there is a frame of Pugsley rolling his eyes back with this contraption around his head—that’s all I can say—and it reminds me so much of Full Metal Jacket,” she said. “It’s insane. So bizarre.”
She continued, “I just feel like there are a lot of scenes and frames, and there’s a whole episode based on slashers.
We make a lot of horror references. So, everything about it, I feel like we kind of had a little bit more trust, and therefore, we felt like we could do bigger, more elaborate sequences, which is nice.”

No Official Green Light for Season 3—Yet
Despite the excitement surrounding the new season, Netflix has not yet officially confirmed Wednesday for a third season. However, Ortega hinted that the writers are already brainstorming ideas.
“I know that the writers are… With a show like that, you kind of want to get ahead of the game. So, I think that they’re kind of messing around and throwing out ideas,” she revealed.
