Jenna Ortega believes season two of “Wednesday” will be even more ambitious than the first.

The 21-year-old actress plays Wednesday Addams on the hit Netflix show, and Jenna has teased what fans can expect from season two of the series.

Ortega told Extra: "I have, like, really incredible set pieces, is what I would say.

"We’ve only done four episodes so far, but every episode has one strong, kind of outstanding scene or factor, which is kind of nice.

"This season just feels like we’re getting a little bit more of an opportunity to do the things that we wanted to accomplish in the first one, maybe just didn’t have the resources or faith. We just have a lot more trust this season."

The first season of the show saw Ortega perform a dance routine that went viral on TikTok. But at the moment, she isn't sure whether season two will feature anything similar.

Asked if there will be another viral dance moment, the actress replied: "Not that I’m aware of … I’m not looking ahead at the schedule, but I fear maybe I’ll see something."

Meanwhile, Christina Ricci previously heaped praise on Ortega, describing her 'Wednesday' co-star as "amazing".

The 44-year-old actress starred as Wednesday in the 'Addams Family' movies in the early 90s, and she's been impressed by Ortega ever since they started working together on the Netflix show.

Ricci – who played another character on the show – explained to ELLE: “I loved being Wednesday.

"I’m very proud of that role. I also think Jenna is amazing. She is so brave, so cool, and really doing the part justice. Wednesday is her part now ... [and] those two things can be true at the same time!"
