Wednesday Star Jenna Ortega recently opened up about how the success of Netflix’s hit series transformed her world. As Ortega gears up for the release of Season 2, she reflected on the emotional rollercoaster that followed the show’s breakout popularity in 2022.

Part 1 of "Wednesday" season 2 debuts -- fittingly -- on Wednesday, Aug. 6. Part 2 will arrive Wednesday, Sept. 3. The series is available to stream exclusively on Netflix. In addition to Ortega and Zeta-Jones, season 2 also stars Steve Buscemi, Luis Guzmán, Hunter Doohan and Billie Piper.

Jenna Ortega has described the sudden fame that came with starring in Netflix hit Wednesday as "very overwhelming". The first season of the show about the Addams family's deadpan daughter became Netflix's most popular English-language series ever after its release in 2022.
