Hollywood’s Jenna Ortega returns as Wednesday Addams in the second series of Netflix’s Wednesday and she posed up a storm in an edgy leather outfit to promote the show
Jenna Ortega looked sensational in a leather bralette while promoting season two of Netflix’s Wednesday.
The actress shot to global fame as Wednesday Addams in the hit supernatural show, based on the iconic Addams Family created by Charles Addams. She’s now a Hollywood star, having appeared in the latest Scream movies, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and other huge flicks.
But we’re just days away from seeing her return in the second series of Wednesday, which airs its first part on August 6. Jenna and her co-stars have posed up a storm at London’s National History Museum ahead of the new series.
Jenna revealed her abs in a plunging black bralette and matched the look with puffy gloves and trousers. She posed on the staircase and channelled her gothic character, shooting a moody stare at the camera with a hand on her hip.
Her Wednesday co-star Emma Myers, who plays Enid Sinclair, opted for a tiny black sparkling bralette and midi skirt. Jenna’s on-screen mum Catherine Zeta-Jones (Morticia Addams) looked elegant in a plunging white blazer.
Jenna’s on-screen dad Luis Guzman (Gomez Addams) looked dapper in a brown leather blazer. New castmate Joanna Lumley, who is set to play Grandmama Hester Frump, oozed elegance in a floral long coat.
Jenna said the sudden fame that came with the success of Wednesday was “very overwhelming”. Asked if she was ready for it, she told the BBC: “Is anyone? No, I wasn’t. I wouldn’t want to know someone who is. I don’t think that should ever be like a normal sort of [experience].”
“I’m still very appreciative and grateful. We didn’t know that anyone was going to watch the show. You do these things and you don’t know what’s to come, so it was very overwhelming.”
She said she was “very grateful and glad that it was able to resonate with people in the way that it did”. The star added: “I think one of the reasons people resonate with the Addams family so much is their strangeness.
“They’re a very cohesive unit, but they’re also very different from one another and stand out. They shouldn’t fit [together] but they do. And that’s very relatable.”
On the dynamic between Wednesday and her mum Morticia, she said: “It’s very typical for mother and daughter to butt heads, and the daughter wanting to be her own person and feel that maybe she’s not being given the space she deserves or needs to come into her own.”
“But also the mother’s desire to look after her children and be protective, and not wanting them to have to deal with the same hardships that they may have faced in the past. Reading the scripts, it’s very applicable to my experience as a teenager, and now.”
