Buscemi and Lumley joining the cast??? This show's budget must be insane now. Hope they don't ruin the dark comedy vibe with too many A-listers.

Can we talk about how wild it is that Ortega became the world's biggest TV actress overnight? No wonder she felt overwhelmed. That kind of pressure would crush most 20-year-olds.
How Did Jenna Ortega Become Famous So Fast?
Jenna Ortega’s meteoric rise to fame began with her breakout role as Wednesday Addams in Netflix’s hit series Wednesday. Before this, she had supporting roles in Disney’s Stuck in the Middle and horror films like X and The Fallout. However, it was her deadpan delivery and gothic charisma as Wednesday that catapulted her into global stardom.
Her performance resonated deeply with Gen Z audiences, blending dark humor with emotional depth. The show became Netflix’s most-watched English-language series within weeks, amassing over 1.2 billion viewing hours. Ortega’s portrayal sparked viral dance trends and countless memes, making her an overnight sensation.
Is Jenna Ortega LGBTQ+? Fans Speculate About Her Sexuality
The actress has become an accidental LGBTQ+ icon through her roles and public statements. While Ortega hasn’t labeled her sexuality, she consistently advocates for queer representation. At 2023’s GLAAD Awards, she praised shows depicting diverse relationships, stating “Everyone deserves to see their truth reflected on screen.”
This ambiguity has sparked intense fan discussions. Some point to her gender-neutral fashion and roles exploring queer themes (like The Fallout‘s PTSD-bonded girls), while others note she’s never publicly dated anyone. Entertainment analysts observe Gen Z stars increasingly reject labels—Ortega’s approach reflects this generational shift towards fluid self-identification.
Why Fans Think She Might Be Queer
- Frequently wears suits at red carpet events
- Voiced LGBTQ+ character in Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous
- Called out Disney for censoring gay storyline in The Owl House

Jenna Ortega’s Stylist Reveals Her Gothic Fashion Secrets

The Givenchy bullet bra look at Wednesday S2’s premiere exemplified this—historically provocative underwear reimagined as armor. Vogue called it “post-apocalyptic romanticism,” while fans created 280K+ TikTok edits within 48 hours.
Is Jenna Ortega Dating Anyone in 2025?
The actress remains notoriously private about relationships. Despite rumors linking her to co-stars Percy Hynes White (Xavier) and Hunter Doohan (Tyler), insiders confirm she’s currently single by choice. A Nevermore crew member shared anonymously: “She brings her French bulldog to set instead of plus-ones. Says dating distracts from craft.”
This aligns with her Harper’s Bazaar confession about post-fame struggles: “I became allergic to my own life.” Ortega now prioritizes therapy and selective projects—she turned down 12 horror scripts after Wednesday to avoid typecasting.
