Jenna Ortega confirms “elaborate” slasher episode in Wednesday season 2
Wednesday star Jenna Ortega has confirmed an “elaborate” slasher episode will feature in the show’s upcoming second season.
Set for release some time this year, though an exact date is yet to be announced, the new season of the Netflix horror-comedy series sees Ortega in the titular role of Wednesday Addams.
Co-created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, the series follows the teenager as she attends the Nevermore Academy school for outcasts.
Speaking about the new season, Ortega said the series will take inspiration from iconic horror movies including Carrie and Prom Night.
Talking to Collinder, Ortega opened up about these influences, telling viewers what to expect visually, while teasing the special slasher episode.
“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. It’s insane. So bizarre,” she said.
“I just feel like there are a lot of scenes and frames, and there’s a whole episode based off of slashers, and 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.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Ortega, who serves as a producer on Wednesday‘s second season, said the writers are already coming up with ideas for a third season.
“We haven’t gotten an official thumbs up or anything like that, but 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 said.
Wednesday season one is streaming on Netflix. Season two will be released in 2025.
