It’s been more than two years since the enigmatic and dance-talented Wednesday Addams and her gothic family graced our screens on Netflix, but fans are eagerly awaiting season 2. Although the series is renowned for its mystery and crime elements, season 2 promises to introduce new characters like Lady Gaga.

In this new season, Wednesday will continue to investigate a series of murders, forge friendships, and encounter adversaries.

Jenna Ortega Reveals How Wednesday Would Feel About Fame of the Show

As I chat with Harper’s Bazaar, I ponder over how Wednesday Addams, the character I bring to life, might perceive her newfound popularity thanks to the Netflix series. Well, let me tell you, she’d probably find it all quite loathsome due to her outsider status in society.

When it comes to fame, I believe she wouldn’t give a hoot about it, but she’d surely detest seeing her likeness on everyday items such as mugs, cereal boxes, and T-shirts. The commercialization of it all would be an absolute no-no for Wednesday.

Given her outspoken nature, I can only imagine that she wouldn’t take kindly to being the center of attention and would surely make a ruckus if anything even remotely related to commercialization were to come her way. After all, it goes against everything she stands for.

Imagine if God communicated as straightforwardly as Wednesday does! It’d be fantastic, because she doesn’t seem to care. When you ponder it over, it’s quite amusing. She’s an outsider, yet she’s become a popular image on items like mugs, cereal boxes, and T-shirts. It’s hard not to chuckle and think, ‘If only she could see this!’

Just as her on-screen character has gained immense fame, Jennifer Ortega herself has become a prominent figure, known for roles in series like the Scream franchise, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, and Miller’s Girl, among others. However, much like Wednesday Addams, Ortega maintains a private life and has expressed feelings of unhappiness following the show’s success due to the immense pressure and attention, as she is an introverted individual who found the intensity and fear of it all quite overwhelming.

On August 6, the first half of “Wednesday” Season 2 will become available on Netflix, with the remaining episodes set to premiere on September 3.
