As a seasoned gamer who has witnessed the rise and fall of many a digital protagonist, I can say with certainty that Jenna Ortega‘s journey is one for the books. The young actress, who brought Wednesday Addams to life so brilliantly, found herself in the spotlight not just for her acting chops but also for her candid comments about the show’s writers room.
Following the phenomenal success of Jenna Ortega with Netflix’s record-breaking series debut of Wednesday, her reputation took a hit when she made some contentious remarks regarding the show’s writers room. Ortega’s comments sparked online debate, and she was even jokingly criticized on the picket line during the writers’ strike, with signs like “Without writers, Jenna Ortega will have nothing to improve!” Now, at 21, Ortega is looking back on that situation.
In March 2023, during an interview on the “Armchair Podcast”, Jenna Ortega shared that she had taken a firm stance when she believed Wednesday Addams wasn’t accurately portrayed in the scripts. The actress, who stars in the titular role of “Wednesday”, confessed to acting somewhat unprofessionally by altering lines and rejecting originally written passages. This bold move sparked a heated response from a “Daredevil” writer, who criticized Ortega as being “overly entitled and toxic”. Now, Jenna Ortega reflects on her past comments about the series:
Reflecting on it now, I believe I might have expressed myself more clearly and accurately throughout that conversation. You know, I tend to get carried away sometimes, talking too much. I think if I had presented the situation in a clearer light, it would have been better received. It all seemed so exaggerated, even a bit surreal or oppressive, like I was over-dramatizing myself.
In a recent conversation with Variety, Jenna Ortega admitted that she may not have handled a specific topic on her podcast optimally. However, on a brighter note, the actress from “Scream” believes she has gained an invaluable lesson due to the attention generated by the discussion. As she went on to say:
It’s impossible to please everyone, especially since I’ve always been inclined to make others happy. Accepting that not everyone will like me was a tough realization. Some people simply might not care for me, and that’s perfectly okay. Last year, I grew tired of myself because my face seemed to be everywhere. So if I were in your shoes, constantly seeing the same person with some trite message, I would also tire of it.

Regarding the second season of Wednesday, Tim Burton, the executive producer and director, finds the actress, Ortega, to be “straightforward” and “no-nonsense,” which he appreciates as “refreshing, beautiful, and artistic.” Moreover, Burton mentioned that Ortega was attentive from the beginning of filming and believes she could direct the series if she chose to. In the capacity of a producer in Season 2, she is encouraged to provide input on the storyline and character dialogue.
Following Ortega’s popularity due to her insights about the Season 1 Wednesday writers, there were temporary whispers that she was difficult to work with on the set of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. However, this is where audiences will encounter Ortega as she takes on the role of Lydia Deetz’s daughter in the eagerly anticipated sequel. Joining forces with Michael Keaton, Catherine O’Hara, Willem Dafoe, Justin Theroux, and Monica Bellucci, Ortega’s next appearance will be on screen. The Beetlejuice sequel is set to hit theaters on September 6, while fans can expect to stream Wednesday Season 2 on Netflix around 2025.
