Jenna Ortega charms asWednesday
As mentioned, Ortega had previously appeared in a lot of series and movies. Mostly frequenting the horror genre,Jenna Ortegastole the spotlight in theScreamfranchise, last year’sX, and even made her appearance in the second season of another popular Netflix seriesYou. However,Wednesdaypresented a challenge she was yet to meet before.
As the titular character remained expressionless for the entirety of her adventures in the Nevermore Academy, it became that much more difficult for Jenna Ortega to insert the comedic theme the horror show carried throughout.
However, she not only passed the challenge successfully but her performance was so loved by fans worldwide that it is soon returning with a season 2, in which she is also debuting as an executive producer.
As a result, Netflix’s idea of promoting the show for the Emmys does not surprise many. However, some still do not think that the show warrants that kind of recognition yet.
