Prior to Wednesday, Ortega was best known for her role as Ellie Alves in the second season of You, but she actually got her start as a child actress. The California native portrayed young Jane on Jane the Virgin from 2014 to 2019 and was later cast as Harley Diaz in Disney Channel's Stuck in the Middle.

Jenna Ortega leads “Wednesday” as the iconic daughter of the Addams family, who has returned to Nevermore Academy for her second year after saving the school in Season 1. After spending summer break honing her psychic abilities, she has a vision about her roommate dying, and works throughout Season 2 to solve a new mystery and save her.

Wednesday Season 2 is finally around the corner, and Netflix has made it clear this new chapter at Nevermore Academy won’t be a repeat of the first.
