Watch: Jenna Ortega nearly breaks down as screaming fans push her to breaking point at Wednesday Season 2 premiere
Jenna Ortega might play a stoic goth queen on-screen, but even Wednesday Addams has her limits. At the Wednesday Season 2 premiere on Wednesday, the actress was seen nearly breaking down as overwhelming fan screams echoed around her. A viral clip shows Jenna looking visibly drained, holding her head in frustration as fans shout her name—one even screams, 'I love you so much!' Her expression was visibly grim, and her body language proved she's totally over it. Fans online are now worried the pressure may be getting too real. Where was the premiere, and who showed up? The highly anticipated Wednesday Season 2 premiere took place in Dublin, Ireland, where much of the new season was filmed. Fans lined up in droves, hoping to catch a glimpse of the cast as they walked the black carpet. Alongside Ortega, returning cast members like Emma Myers (Enid), Joy Sunday (Bianca), and Hunter Doohan (Tyler) made appearances. Showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar were also spotted, along with some new cast additions whose roles are still under wraps. The crowd energy was wild—clearly too wild for Jenna. The Wednesday Season 2 premiere was to die for. What did Jenna Ortega wear? In perfect Wednesday-core fashion, Jenna rocked a gothic-meets-high-fashion look. She wore a sheer black lace gown with structured shoulders and subtle spiderweb detailing, designed by Thom Browne. The dress featured sharp tailoring and a floor-length cape that trailed behind her like a shadow. Her makeup stayed true to the character—smudged eyeliner, a matte complexion, and her signature deadpan expression. If looks could kill, Jenna's outfit already did the job. The moment that's going viral: Jenna's overwhelmed reaction While the premiere was meant to be a celebration, the viral video from the black carpet paints a very different picture. As fans screamed her name non-stop, Jenna was caught on camera looking visibly distressed—eyes in shock, lips tight, hands briefly on her head. Some fans say she looked seconds away from crying. The clip has now spread across social media platforms like wildfire, with many expressing concern over her well-being. Oh she's pissed off and rightfully so, screaming in her face like that is so unnecessary What's Wednesday Season 2 about and when does it drop? Season 2 of Wednesday promises more mystery, more monsters, and a deeper dive into Nevermore Academy's creepiest secrets. This time around, Wednesday will reportedly face a new supernatural threat tied to her family's past, plus a secret society that's been lurking in the shadows. Expect darker plot twists, more Enid-Wednesday bestie moments, and an even more intense tone than before. Netflix confirmed that Wednesday Season 2 will be released in two parts: the first four episodes drop on August 6, followed by the remaining four on September 3.

‘Wednesday' Season 2 gets gothic global premiere in London
[LONDON] Hit Netflix series Wednesday expands the Addams Family world as it returns to screens nearly three years after the show launched in November 2022. Season 2 of the dark fantasy series premiered at London's Westminster on Wednesday (Jul 30), with its cast and creators walking a purple carpet outside Central Hall and Queen Elizabeth II Centre. The new season sees Wednesday Addams, played by Jenna Ortega, returning to Nevermore Academy as a celebrated hero, much to her dismay. The tetchy teen puts her detective hat back on to solve new supernatural mysteries, while dealing with glitches in her psychic powers. Wednesday also faces another nuisance – family. Her little brother, Pugsley, played by Isaac Ordonez, starts his studies at Nevermore and their parents are a frequent presence on campus. 'She's kind of knocked off her feet this season. So it's a lot of pressure,' said Ortega. The series' creators and showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar said that Wednesday returns 'bigger and better'. A NEWSLETTER FOR YOU Friday, 2 pm Lifestyle Our picks of the latest dining, travel and leisure options to treat yourself. Sign Up Sign Up 'There's more of the Addams Family this season,' said Gough. 'We learn more about the characters you got to meet in Season 1 and they have their own storylines.' The sophomore season also introduces new characters, including Steve Buscemi's Nevermore principal Barry Dort and the Addams family matriarch Grandmama Hester Frump, played by Joanna Lumley. Pop star Lady Gaga makes a guest star appearance as a teacher in Part 2. Mother-daughter dynamics are at the heart of the new season, said Millar. 'It's about mothers and daughters, it's three generations of Addams women together. It's also about learning not to be in control of everything, for Wednesday. And it's really always about female friendship and female sisterhood,' he said. Ortega, 22, also executive produced the new season. Rather than control, it gave her 'freedom' she said. 'She's kind of our cast spokesperson. Any time I felt like something needed to be said or if I had any ideas, she was always like, 'come to me and we will make it work'. She just looks out for us,' Emma Myers, who plays Wednesday's roommate Enid Sinclair, said. Filmmaker Tim Burton also returns as one of the directors and executive producers. Wednesday Season 2 will be released in two four-episode instalments, with Part 1 dropping Aug 6 and Part 2 out on Sep 3. REUTERS
