The world’s favorite deadpan teenager is back!ABS-CBN News caught up with lead star Jenna Ortega, who plays Wednesday Addams, to talk about new adventures at Nevermore Academy, evolving characters, and the highly anticipated Lady Gaga cameo that has fans buzzing, promising more dark humor, mystery, and chaos.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17542927093161754273736630b848aaad-f339-4fb9-8107-afae017ca176.webp" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Netflix"/>Netflix</div>In Season 2, Ortega returns to prowl the gothic halls of Nevermore Academy, where fresh foes and old adversaries await. Alongside her, we see Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair, Joy Sunday as Bianca Barclay, Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams, and Catherine Zeta-Jones as the ever-iconic Morticia.“Wednesday is a force. To reconnect with her and explore her growth in this new season, it’s exciting. The stakes feel higher this time,” Ortega said.“I loved getting to shoot in Ireland,” added Sunday. “The backdrop was stunning, and it really gave Season 2 a fresh feel.”Myers teased an exciting evolution: “Getting to change up Enid’s look, her vibe, and see her grow, that’s been a lot of fun.”Aside from playing Wednesday, Ortega is also credited as a producer this season. “It felt natural,” she explained. “It felt like a very natural progression to kind of the work that we were doing as a team in Season 1. So if anything, it was just like a title this time around, which is nice and exciting.&quot;But I&#x27;ve never produced TV before, and it was interesting kind of being allowed into rooms that I wasn&#x27;t before and just kind of getting a look behind the camera. That was a great learning experience. I&#x27;m not an executive or anything like that, but still to talk about just the technical side of things was very interesting.”<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754273748613a0fb8454-fd98-448d-8b0d-9100541f24a6.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Netflix"/>Netflix</div>One of the season’s biggest surprises is Lady Gaga’s cameo. While the details are under wraps, Ortega shared: “We were so lucky to have her join us. Wish she had more scenes. She killed it. As for Season 3, it’s very early, but having her back would be amazing.”Fans of the show know how visually stunning it is, thanks to Tim Burton’s gothic flair. “He’s incredible,” Ortega said. “He moves fast, but he knows how to make every scene magical. And he creates such a collaborative environment. It’s safe to try anything, and that energy makes the show what it is.”Ortega also delivered a heartfelt message and love from the cast to Filipino fans: “Thank you endlessly. We love you so much and are so grateful you’ve been so receptive. Sending hugs and love all the way to the Philippines.”With high stakes, new mysteries, a Lady Gaga cameo, and more Wednesday mayhem than ever, Season 2 will be split into two parts: Part 1 streaming on August 6 and Part 2 arriving on September 3, only on Netflix.
