Jenna Ortega, lead actor in the Netflix mystery series, has hinted at new directions for Jenna Ortega Wednesday Season 3. Speaking from Los Angeles, Ortega outlined her hopes for deeper character exploration and evolving family dynamics, following the dramatic conclusion of Season 2.
Exploring Darker Facets and Mother-Daughter Bonds
During a recent event, Jenna Ortega said she envisions the upcoming season delving into the complexities between Wednesday Addams and her mother, Morticia Addams, played by Catherine Zeta-Jones. Ortega expressed a desire to see the characters put aside their differences and collaborate on screen.
“I would like them [Morticia and Wednesday] to stop arguing and team up,”
Jenna Ortega, Actor. She elaborated on the importance of highlighting supportive female relationships, particularly in moments of tension and drama.
“We’d just been talking about women banding together, and you see that a bit in the final episode, or episodes. I think we should lean into that. It’s really exciting and refreshing to see women displayed that way,”
Jenna Ortega, Actor.
Diving Deeper into Wednesday’s Edge
Ortega also wants Season 3 to push her character into even edgier territory, remaining true to Wednesday’s darker undertones while blending in some signature humor.
“I think it’s important to see Wednesday deal with the darker side of herself a little bit, too – but also never taking things too seriously. And I would like to see more death attempts between her and Pugsley. She doesn’t try to kill him enough! I want to see stuff like that,”
Jenna Ortega, Actor. Ortega’s comments suggest a desire to expand the unique balance of gothic intensity and playfulness that defines the series.
Catherine Zeta-Jones Hopes for More Generational Storytelling
Interest in deepening the Addams family storylines isn’t limited to Ortega. Catherine Zeta-Jones, who portrays Morticia, also shared her interest in the new season exploring the relationship not only between mother and daughter, but also between Morticia and her own mother, played by Joanna Lumley.
“Now that we’ve introduced the wonderful Joanna Lumley as my mother, I’d like to tell more about that story. We left it on a bit of a cliffhanger, but what was it that got to that situation? And how, as a mother, I don’t want that to happen in this relationship [with Wednesday],”
Catherine Zeta-Jones, Actor. This indicates that future episodes may further develop the themes of generational change and influence.
Anticipating the Next Chapter
Despite the mounting excitement and intense speculation surrounding the series, Netflix has yet to announce an exact release date for Wednesday Season 3. However, fans should expect the next installment to debut in 2027, continuing the show’s blend of mystery, dark humor, and evolving family relationships.
