Wednesday, Season 2: Wednesday, Season 2: Jenna Ortega reveals the return of a viral element – ​​will it be the popular dance scene?

Jenna Ortega has confirmed that one of her character's defining features on Wednesday will return in the upcoming second season. In a recent interview with Harper's Bazaar, Ortega revealed that the cello will continue to play an important role in the series, a nod to its prominent presence in the first season, as mentioned in a report by Screenrant. The actress, who is currently on a press tour for her role in Beetlejuice, shared insights into the ongoing production of Wednesday's second season and highlighted the importance of the cello in the series.

Ortega mentioned in the interview that she recently “spent a good portion of the [her] hair out” for a cello scene, underscoring her commitment to the authenticity of her performance. She also noted that the cello sequence has already been shot and the production team is now moving on to the next scenes.

Continuation of a popular element

In the first season, Wednesday Addams' cello performances were crucial to both the character's artistic expression and intense demeanor. In notable scenes, Ortega played cello versions of “Paint It Black” and “Don't Stop” that were widely discussed and celebrated by audiences.

Ortega's dedication to mastering the cello for her role not only added depth to her character, but also added to the show's special appeal. Given the strong fan response to these musical elements, it's understandable why Netflix chose to feature the cello in the new season.

Challenges in reproducing viral successes

While the cello remains a central and repeatable aspect of Wednesday's character, another iconic element from season one presents a different challenge. The viral dance scene from season one, in which Wednesday performs an unconventional dance to “Goo Goo Muck” by The Cramps at Nevermore Academy's Rave'N Dance, became a sensation on TikTok. This scene significantly increased the show's popularity and viewership.

Recreating the exact nature of this dance in Season 2 could prove difficult. Unlike the cello, which is a consistent character trait, the uniqueness of the dance scene could make it difficult to recreate without seeming contrived.

There is a risk that attempting to recreate the dance could lead to accusations of capitalizing on social media trends, potentially undermining the authenticity of the show.
