THE wait is nearly over, Outcasts!

- ALYSSIA BIRJALAL

Popular gothic series Wednesday is officially back, promising to thrill fans with a deeper dive into the eerie realms of Nevermore Academy.

After the smashing success of its first season, which quickly became Netflix’s most-viewed English-language series, the anticipation for season 2 has reached a fever pitch.

At the helm of this twisted retelling is actress Jenna Ortega, who reprises her role as Wednesday Addams.

Ortega’s portrayal of the sardonic, death-obsessed teen is captivating, and she continues to redefine the character, earning her a place alongside Christina Ricci’s iconic depiction of Wednesday from the early ’90s.

With season 2, audiences can expect Ortega to take on not just the role of actress but also that of producer.
