Jenna Ortega is a household name thanks to her absolute smash-hit series, Wednesday, which dominated the streaming service Netflix when it was released late last year. The power the twenty-year-old held as the titular character was phenomenal, and as a result of her acting prowess, a whole new cult revival bloomed in tribute to the gloomy teenage icon.
Needless to say, Jenna has a very bright future ahead of her, and if the term “booked and busy” were a person, it would be her. I mean, after cementing her bonafide Hollywood A-lister status with a hosting gig on Saturday Night Live, Jenna has a slew of exciting upcoming projects that her fans (i.e. the entire world) can look forward to, which surprisingly, aren’t just horror-related projects, meaning she will show us her entire repertoire of acting talents. Later this year, we can see the brunette starring alongside Tommy Lee Jones and Ben Foster in the crime thriller Finestkind, centred on two brothers from the opposite side of the tracks forced to come together to deal with an organised crime syndicate in Boston. Wow, sounds intense!
Jenna will then be seen in the comedy-drama Miller’s Girl alongside Martin Freeman and is also gearing up to star alongside The Weeknd and Barry Keoghan in a yet-to-be-titled project, and if the latest casting rumours are true, then also Beetlejuice 2! Oh, and if that wasn’t enough, cameras will soon be rolling on season two of Wednesday. Jeez, does she even get a chance to sleep?!
But honestly, all of Jenna’s success is well deserved, as if you didn’t know, she has been working her socks off for years. Long before she wowed us in the Scream franchise and Netflix’s You, she paid her dues by starring in the likes of Jane the Virgin and Disney’s Stuck in the Middle.
