Jenna Ortega is poised for a significant 2025, featuring the premieres of “Death of a Unicorn” and “Wednesday” Season 2. With an action-packed year approaching, Ortega shared her role models in the Hollywood industry. Notably, the lead actress from the popular “Addams Family” spinoff (available with a Netflix subscription) pointed to series director Tim Burton as one of them. Interestingly, another name that caught my attention is the one she named as her other admiration, although it wasn’t something I initially expected, but I can certainly understand Ortega’s appreciation for this individual.
At the debut of “Death of a Unicorn” at SXSW, the actress from “Scream” shared insights on her upcoming show before its 2025 Netflix release. In an interview with IndieWire, she disclosed that Tim Burton and Lady Gaga (a cast member of “Wednesday” Season 2) have been significant inspirations to her. Overflowing with praise for Gaga, she explained the reasons behind their excellent working relationship.
She’s absolutely outstanding, undeniably one of the most gifted individuals I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with. The atmosphere while working with her and Tim [Burton] was truly exceptional – two figures I admire greatly and have been influenced by significantly. What surprised me even more was discovering her warm and kind nature, which is a delightful contrast to her unpredictable persona. Yet, she never fails to exhibit kindness and generosity, making her an enigma that’s always intriguing.
Given Jenna Ortega’s extensive collaboration with Tim Burton on various productions, it’s not surprising that he is someone she looks up to. However, Lady Gaga’s inclusion in the cast of Wednesday for its second season came as a bit of a shock – a delightful one at that. The announcement sparked excitement across the internet, but questions remained about how the two would work together. It seems they hit it off wonderfully, and it’s heartening to know that Ortega considers Gaga as an inspiration.
More on Jenna Ortega

As a passionate cinephile, I recently found myself captivated by none other than the radiant Jenna Ortega and her striking transformation in her latest appearance. Stepping away from her signature allure, she donned a romantic number that hugged her figure flawlessly, creating an unforgettable impression. This fashion choice was undeniably a refreshing departure, showcasing a softer side that left me eagerly anticipating her future roles on the silver screen.
What really leaves me green with envy is that the actor from Beetlejuice has already worked alongside numerous big-name Hollywood stars, such as Winona Ryder, Neve Campbell, Michael Keaton, and Martin Freeman. Furthermore, Steve Buscemi was added to the cast of the Addams Family spin-off this year. Without a doubt, she’s had the opportunity to be in the company of many talented individuals.
At this point, specifics about the storyline in Season 2 of Wednesday are hard to come by. However, I’m optimistic that Steve Buscemi and Lady Gaga will both deliver substantial performances, adding excitement to Nevermore Academy. Moreover, Jenna Ortega hinted at some substantial set expansions for the upcoming seasons as well.
People often admire role models, and it’s wonderful that Jenna Ortega has had the chance to work alongside some of hers. I can only wish for her more opportunities to team up with creative minds like Tim Burton and Lady Gaga in the future.
