Jenna Ortega's Biggest Regret? Wednesday Scene Fans Can't Stop Talking About
Despite the ultimate fan love she received for the viral Wednesday dance, the actress seems to think she could have done better.
Quickly becoming one of Netflix 's biggest hits ever, Wednesday is marching through Twitter threads, TikTok videos, and Instagram reels and garnering views and likes months after the premiere. All of this thanks to the show's most popular scene — the Wednesday dance to The Cramps' Goo Goo Muck at the school disco at Nevermore.
However, speaking with Entertainment Tonight at the Golden Globes ceremony, the show's main star Jenna Ortega revealed that she isn't fully satisfied with the final result.
"There was so much I could have done and should have done. So, the fact that anyone has shown any appreciation or even tried it themselves is unfathomable to me," the actress said, commenting on the Wednesday dance's viral popularity.
Ortega choreographed the dance herself, somehow managing to combine improvisation and old goth moves. Besides, she also revealed that she had to film the scene while having coronavirus — something that the actress and the production were heavily criticized for.
Still, despite Ortega's apparent regrets, the dance scene is probably the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Netflix's Wednesday. This all started with a TikTok edit that popularized the dance, but with a high-pitched remix of Lady Gaga 's Bloody Mary instead of the original soundtrack.
Now, Netflix has greenlit Wednesday for a second season — and even used Bloody Mary to promote the upcoming sequel, apparently nodding to the viral song choice. The premiere date for Wednesday season 2 is yet to be announced.
