Yahoo Lifestyle ‘Wednesday’ Season 2 Wraps Production and Debuts New Look at Jenna Ortega’s Signature Frown
Jenna Ortega is back as the Addams family’s death-loving daughter.
In a new photo from Season 2 of “Wednesday,” Ortega is seen frowning her and crossing her arms against a spooky outdoor backdrop — potentially a cemetery — with a gothic gate and two robed statues carrying lanterns behind her. This is the first photo from the Netflix series’ second season, though the streamer previously released a behind-the-scenes clip. Netflix released the photo just after production on Season 2 wrapped in Ireland. The season is set to premiere in 2025.
