Jenna Ortega wants less romance in ‘Wednesday’ season two.
Wednesday is becoming more independent, or at least Jenna Ortega wants her to be. In her recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the actress expressed her desire for the successful Addams Family spin-off to focus more on the horror of the premise, while it drifts away from any romantic subplot involving the protagonist. The series became an unexpected powerhouse for Netflix, breaking some viewership records when it was released in November of last year.
We just started the writers room. I think we want to up the horror aspect a little bit and then get Wednesday out of the romantic situation, let her be her own individual and fight her own crimes. During the first season of the acclaimed streaming behemoth, Wednesday is expelled from her school after dumping live piranhas into the school's pool in retaliation for the boys' water polo team bullying her brother Pugsley . Consequently, her parents Gomez and Morticia Addams enroll her at their high school alma mater Nevermore Academy, a private school for monstrous outcasts, in the town of Jericho, Vermont.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Recently, Ortega was caught in a controversy related to the series, when she claimed she changed dialogue from some scenes without informing the writers beforehand due to her not feeling comfortable with her character's lines. The actress didn't like seeing Wednesday involved in a love triangle or saying she loved her prom dress, prompting her to change lines for those that felt true to the nature of the Addams girl.
