Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday 2 Update Kills Fans With Suspense

Summary:

• Wednesday Season 2, which is going to start filming next month, will feature more viral moments like the main heroine’s prom night dance.
• According to Jenna Ortega, every episode will stand out visually and by its storytelling, which will present more allusions to other horrors and pop-culture.

Wednesday has become a viral series, causing worldwide trends and lots of parodies in the Internet by the release of the first season of the Addams family daughter’s adventures at the end of 2022.

Since production of the next season was looking to start next month, in April 2024, there are tons of speculations in social media, regarding the possible changes of the cast, plot and the atmosphere of Season 2, the main source for which is teases from Jenna Ortega, who is playing the titular heroine of the show.

Recently, the actress gave an interview to Vanity Fair that caused a lot of buzz due to the solid number of hints on the next season of the hyped show. The most discussed update, given by Ortega, is that Season 2 will feature more viral-worthy scenes and allusions to other pop-cultural entities, as the series’ scale gets bigger.

There is no doubt that the most viral moment from the first Wednesday season is the Rave'N dance scene of episode 4, showcasing the main character’s enchanting dance moves to The Cramps’ song Goo Goo Muck, which has become a signature moment of the whole show.

Its impact on pop culture (especially through TikTok) can’t be overestimated, as it caused millions of videos of people recreating this dance, often combining it with the song Bloody Mary by Lady Gaga, reviving its popularity.

In connection with that, Ortega assured that nearly every Season 2 episode is built the way it has its own “a very memorable scene or bit or setting”, hoping all future episodes will give to viewers something as much catching as the dance scene from Season 1.

Besides, in Wednesday 2 there may be also much-awaited visible references to other horrors, as the dance scene and the whole respective episode featuring school’s prom party is a callback to Carrie, both Stephen King ’s novel and 1976 classic horror movie.

While we’re much far away from the release of the anticipated next Wednesday season, the Internet users continue to recall the above-mentioned dance, even a year and a half since its appearance, and to make memes with it.

One of the latest funny remarks compares Wednesday dance and the one of the Oscar-winning Emma Stone ’s character from the 2023 movie. “Poor Things owes her a check…,” jokes user @normalizenatalie in the YouTube comments.

Thus, as the time passes, the excitement keeps growing while looking forward to what Wednesday season 2 will present us.
