Jenna Ortega has reached a new level of fame thanks to her recent performance in Tim Burton’s Netflix series Wednesday. The actress had already starred in numerous shows and films in the past, but her breakthrough role came in the form of a teenage girl obsessed with all things macabre.
Now that the second season of Wednesday is already confirmed and production will soon commence, Ortega will have a busy schedule ahead. On top of that, she is also reportedly returning to the horror franchise Scream 7.
Productions For Wednesday Season 2 And Scream 7 Might Create Conflict In Jenna Ortega’s Schedule
In a report from Deadline, Netflix’s Wednesday is moving to a new location in Ireland. The start of production is reportedly in April 2024. The first season of Jenna Ortega’s show was shot in Romania, and following its global success, the place became a hot tourist destination.
The plot for Season 2 is still kept under wraps, but fans may expect that they will see more of the Addams family and explore Wednesday’s relationship with her mother. Now that Ortega has taken the responsibility of a producer, she assured fans it will have more horror than romance.
Meanwhile, Scream 7 is also gearing up for production and is reportedly set to commence in early spring or March 2024. Rumors started circulating that Ortega might no longer appear in the movie. As per The Wrap, there is a chance she may actually return as Tara Carpenter, but in a limited role.
The strike has affected a lot of productions, and these two projects starring Ortega were not exempted. Additionally, she is also set to appear in Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice 2, a fantasy comedy film that also did not escape the wrath of the strike.
Fans Are Frustrated Over Jenna Ortega’s Rumored Limited Role In Scream 7
Fans are growing concerned about Jenna Ortega’s role in Scream 7. The same situation happened with Neve Campbell in Scream 3. She had a limited role due to schedule conflicts with another project. The public aired their frustration over this news and speculated that her character might get killed off. Check out their tweets below:
Wednesday better not be the reason why Tara dies 😭

Didn’t this happen to Neve Campbell on Scream 3? Her role was limited because she was working on another film Drowning Mona.

She’s going to repeat Neve Campbell’s situation with Scream 3.

Instead of killing her off just let her go to college she doesn’t have to be in the opening, her first scene could be within the first 30/45 minutes of the film then they can give her 15 minute screen time which is not so bad for her character.

Ortega is definitely fully booked at the moment. With all her appearances in horror projects, she is now a certified scream queen.
