The Haunting Unveiled: Jenna Ortega's Bizarre Encounter With Wednesday Fan

Jenna Ortega, star of Wednesday, recalls a peculiar encounter she had with a flight attendant. Since its release in late 2022, Wednesday has catapulted Ortega into stardom, especially among young fans who now consider her an emerging icon in the horror genre. In addition to her notable roles in the Scream franchise, X, and her chilling cameo in Studio 666, the Golden Globe nominee has built an impressive filmography. Her journey continues with an upcoming appearance in Beetlejuice 2.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Ortega admitted to having her fair share of unusual encounters with fans. One particular incident involved an enthusiastic flight attendant who recognized her for her roles as Tara Carpenter in Scream and the lead character in Wednesday. This resulted in an offbeat interaction, leaving Ortega taken aback. Here is Ortega's complete statement on the matter:

Wednesday's Impact Makes Season 2 A Challenge (But Signs Are Encouraging)

Much of my current recognition revolves around Scream and Wednesday. Surprisingly, Wednesday has garnered a much wider audience than I initially expected, spanning various age groups. I've encountered some peculiar incidents on airplanes as well, where I've awoken to discover notes or unexpected occurrences. Just yesterday, upon disembarking, a flight attendant let down her hair from its bun and transformed it into two braids. She also released her bangs and jokingly remarked, "You made me do this."

Given the enduring success of Wednesday season 1 on Netflix, there has been speculation on how the show will navigate the challenge of emulating the viral moments and notable guest appearances that contributed to its sensational impact. One particular point of interest is whether Wednesday season 2 will attempt to replicate the widely celebrated dance that generated headlines and was subsequently reenacted by renowned figures such as Madonna and Lady Gaga.

Aside from Ortega's viral dance and overall appearance, there are other factors to consider for Wednesday season 2. One potential risk is repeating some of the elements that generated extensive online discussions, such as the love triangle involving Tyler and Xavier, or the heartwarming friendship between Wednesday and Enid. However, there is a danger in overemphasizing what worked in the first season.

Based on Ortega's insights into Wednesday season 2, it appears that the Netflix hit will take a different approach. Ortega, who will also serve as a producer for the upcoming episodes, has mentioned a deliberate decision to focus more on the horror aspects of Wednesday's story, and has revealed that romantic love interests will be left behind in the second installment. This daring move to change what previously succeeded could prove beneficial in the long term.
