Jenna Ortega is looking beyond television as ‘Wednesday’ Season 3 wraps production
Jenna Ortega plans to stay away from TV for a while after “Wednesdays” ends. On the October 22 episode of the “Happy, Sad, Confused” podcast, host Josh Horowitz asked the Gen-Z scream queen if she would commit to another franchise. She responded, “I really haven’t had a lot of franchise conversations. I haven’t. What I have to do is come and find me.”
Expressing her desire to move away from TV roles, Ortega said, “I think after ‘Wednesday’, I’ll probably step away from TV for a while. You know it took me years to do that. I was kind of stuck from show to show as a kid, and I want to leave time for new things.” Production on “Wednesday” Season 3 has completed, but whether this will mark the end of the show is unclear.
Over the years she has appeared in a variety of shows, from “Jane the Virgin” to Disney’s “Stuck in the Middle” and Netflix’s “You.” Her role as the Gothic daughter of the Addams family catapulted her to global stardom. Now, she is considering a change of pace to look for opportunities beyond TV after the show ends.
Ortega has already appeared in several films, including installments in “Beetlejuice” and “Scream” franchises from “Wednesday” creator Tim Burton. She plays an artificial friend robot in “Clara and the Sun”, released in theaters on October 23. In addition to “Wednesday” Season 3, she will next be seen in JJ Abrams’ science fantasy film, “The Great Beyond.” It also stars Glen Powell, Emma Mackey and Samuel L. Jackson.
