Actress Jenna Ortega, who played the lead role in the series «Wednesday», said that the second season will be full of horror movie references, «bizarre» visual effects, and will have a separate slasher episode.
«I can say that visually, we had the most fun we’ve ever had», — the actress says in an interview Collider. «There are a lot of scenes and shots, and also a whole episode based on slashers, and we make a lot of horror references».
In doing so, Ortega compares one of the moments of the second season of «Wednesday» to Stanley Kubrick’s film «Full Metal Jacket»:
«It’s crazy to talk about one shot like this, but there it is — Pugsley is rolling his eyes there with that thing around his head. All I can say is that the scene reminds me a lot of Full Metal Jacket. Crazy and so weird».
Netflix has not yet announced the exact date of the premiere (so far, they are only talking about «later this year»), but according to Ortega, the team is in the «editing» — stage and also already has thoughts about the third season:
«We haven’t received an official announcement or anything like that. But I know that the writers… Of course, with a series like this, you kind of want to get ahead of the game. So they’re kind of fumbling around and trying out ideas».
