Jenna Ortega Faces Scheduling Challenges Amid Success of Netflix's 'Wednesday' and Other Projects

Ortega Balances Demands from Netflix, Upcoming Warner Bros's 'Beetlejuice 2' and Paramount's 'Scream 7', Amid Continued Success and Potential Involvement in New 'Jurassic World' Installment

  • Jenna Ortega is facing scheduling challenges due to the success of Netflix's 'Wednesday' and her commitments to Warner Bros's 'Beetlejuice 2', Paramount's 'Scream 7', and a potential role in a 'Jurassic World' installment.
  • In the Netflix series 'Wednesday', Ortega is praised for her portrayal of Wednesday Addams, the iconic daughter of the Addams family, with remarkable nuance and finesse.
  • The hit Netflix series, guided by Tim Burton's unique vision, explores the life of Wednesday as a student at Nevermore Academy where she masters her psychic abilities and navigates complex relationships, achieving the second-largest streaming week recorded by Nielsen upon its release.
  • Despite the series' popularity and plans for multiple seasons, Netflix may struggle to retain Ortega due to her rising stardom in Hollywood and commitments to other major projects.
  • Ortega is also known for her role as Tara Carpenter in the Scream franchise and is confirmed to return for 'Scream 7'. She is set to play a prominent role in 'Beetlejuice 2', which may interrupt the 'Wednesday' filming.
  • In addition to 'Wednesday', she's also voiced the character Brooklynn in Netflix's animated series 'Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous'. With a new 'Jurassic World' installment announced for 2024, Ortega's potential involvement remains unconfirmed.
