Wednesday Addams, a character from the renowned Addams Family sequel, is the focus of the Netflix original series Wednesday.

The tale, which centers on Wednesday’s time spent as a student at Nevermore Academy, combines mystery, fantasy, and dark humor.

There were rumors that Jenna Ortega would not be back for Wednesday’s second season, just as fans were excited about the new season. 

There was a report that Jenna Ortega, who became well-known for her famous role in Wednesday, was quitting the well-liked Netflix series. 

Fortunately, this is not the case. When the news leaked, many people believed she had abruptly abandoned Wednesday Addams. Rather, Ortega is putting on the popular animated series Jurassic World: Chaos Theory.

Fans noticed that Brooklyn, played by Ortega, appeared to have passed away in the opening ten seconds of the most current trailer for this animated series that Netflix released.

The trailer’s reveal startled fans, who described it as “crazy” and “devastating” in different contexts.

One possible explanation for Ortega’s departure from the series is that her recent surge in popularity may have caused scheduling issues.

Not surprisingly, Ortega is one of the rising stars in the entertainment business. Her career was effectively launched by her role in Wednesday, and since the popular show was renewed for a second season, she will likely dedicate most of her time to that project.

In season two, she will also serve as executive producer, a major responsibility that involves managing the entire project and is time-consuming.

In addition to hosting her own edition of Saturday Night Live in 2023, Ortega will co-star with Martin Freeman in Miller’s Girl, a film that has generated controversy because of Ortega’s age difference from the 52-year-old star, with whom she has romantic scenes.

But there will also be a ton of opportunities to watch Ortega on TV. The star’s next project is a romantic film called Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall, in which she reunites with one of her Wednesday co-stars.

In addition, Ortega has roles in six upcoming projects, including Tim Burton’s eagerly anticipated Beetlejuice sequel and the fifth and sixth Scream movies.
