Tim Burton to Direct Jenna Ortega for Wednesday Season 2

Sep 19, 2024 11:51 AM

Tim Burton will continue his collaboration with Jenna Ortega, directing four episodes of Wednesday season 2, similar to season 1. Production is currently in progress, promising fans won't have to wait long. With the success of the Beetlejuice sequel still ongoing, hopes for a third installment linger, although Ortega’s busy schedule may impact this. Series co-creator Al Gough cited Burton's admiration for Ortega and commitment to the show as main reasons for his ongoing involvement. Season 2 might emphasize horror more than romance, an adjustment fans, including Ortega herself, are eager to see following season 1's success.

What can we expect from Wednesday season 2?

Viewers can anticipate a stronger focus on horror elements rather than the romantic subplot that characterized the first season. Jenna Ortega, taking a more active role behind the scenes, is advocating for this shift in tone, hoping to enhance the show's appeal and critical reception.

The Beetlejuice movie franchise, originally directed by Tim Burton in 1988, became a cult classic known for its unique blend of horror and comedy. With its iconic characters and distinctive visual style, Beetlejuice has remained a significant part of pop culture, leading to much anticipation for its sequel. Wednesday, based on the character from the Addams Family, also showcases a dark aesthetic, making Burton's involvement all the more fitting as he continues to shape both projects. As these two worlds intersect, fans are left excited about the creative direction and collaborative synergy between Burton and Ortega.
