'Wednesday Night' star teases that Season 2 of Netflix's hit show will take on a darker tone

The wait for an update on "Wednesday" Season 2 has been painful Even though the next season is in production, not much has been revealed about its potential release date, along with what to expect when this Netflix show hits the small screen again However, Jenna Ortega (who plays Adams on Wednesday) recently dropped a few small hints about where season two is headed

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Ortega said: "I think the vibe we're going for is a little bit more horror-esque, and I think that's what we're going for She also referred to the 1964 film "The Masque of the Red Death," based on the short story by Edgar Allan Poe

Since Ortega has a larger role in the creative process for Season 2, it makes sense that she would draw inspiration from other films and shows known for their darker nature

And Ortega continued: "It's not that we suddenly became the grossest show ever I mean, we have six-year-olds watching it [For example,] we're doing one right now called Wednesday She's a little jumpy and scared"

Anyone who has seen the film adaptation of "The Addams Family" knows that the Wednesday Addams has a unique personality and embodies a creepy charm and expressionless humor

Her presence as a "jump scare" throughout the second season will undoubtedly heighten the creepiness, and her disturbing demeanor will make other characters uncomfortable as well

Ortega's appointment as producer for the second season gives him much more creative freedom in delving into the world of horror

Tim Burton, who will continue as director and executive producer for season two, commented on Ortega's skills, saying, "Ortega has been a great help She is very direct and I find it very fresh and beautiful and artistic She can direct if she wants to From day one, she has been very conscious She is more aware than I am at times"

In the same interview, Vanity Fair magazine also reported that there will be new villains and supernatural abilities to contribute to the darker tone No official synopsis is available, but it is clear that the film will continue to portray the supernatural mysteries of Wednesday Adams, a student at Nevermore Academy

When "Wednesday" Season 2 was renewed in January 2023, the announcement video teased that more "torture" awaited For now, however, all we know is that Season 2 will find a way to adopt a more sinister narrative while still catering to all viewers

Tom's Guide will bring you everything "Wednesday" has to offer ahead of the second season, including filming updates, plot details, actor insights, first-look photos and trailers While you wait for the show to return in 2025, why not stream the first season of "Wednesday" again on Netflix?
