(via <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2024\/01\/jenna-ortega-teases-wednesday-season-2-2-1235792512\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Deadline<\/a>) that the new season will embrace the horror genre more than before, making the series feel more like a movie in the process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve received some scripts now for the second season, and we\u2019re definitely leaning into a little bit more horror,\u201d Ortega told Laverne Cox in an interview for E!.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really, really exciting because, all throughout the show, while Wednesday does need a little bit of an arc, she never really changes \u2013 and that\u2019s the wonderful thing about her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s really, really good one-liners, and I think everything\u2019s bigger, it\u2019s a lot more action-packed. Each episode will probably feel a little bit more like a movie, which is nice.\u201d<\/p> <p>The series was renewed for season 2 back in January 2023, and is expected to kick off filming this April, meaning fans will have to wait and see what the official release date is when it\u2019s eventually announced.<\/p>\n<p>The first season was shot in Romania, but production is set to move to Ireland, with little information having been given out about season 2 plot details.<\/p>\n<p>Ortega is also not only leading the cast of the new run, but will also serve as producer, meaning she will be more hands-on than ever with her role and the direction of the show, which sits on the top of Netflix\u2019s top 10 list for most popular English-language series with a staggering 252 million views.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/fantasy\/game-thrones-spin-off-animation-newsupdate\/\">Game of Thrones spin-off moves from live-action to animation<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/fantasy\/the-witcher-season-4-laurence-fishburne-cast-newsupdate\/\">The Witcher season 4 casts The Matrix star in key role<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Previously, Ortega had revealed that when it came to Wednesday season 1, she actually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/fantasy\/jenna-ortega-rewrote-lines-wednesday-newsupdate\/\">re-wrote some of her lines<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/episode\/3JUgWtSI8NBgoVDgM1Y3wY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Armchair Expert<\/a> podcast, she told host Dax Shepard: \u201cThe script supervisor thought I was going with something, and then I would have to sit down with the writers and they\u2019d be like, \u2018Wait, what happened to the scene?\u2019 And I would have to go through and explain why I couldn\u2019t do certain things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added: \u201cEverything that she does, everything that I had to play, did not make sense for her character at all. Her being in a love triangle made no sense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a line about this dress that she has to wear for a school dance and she says, \u2018Oh my god, I love it!
