Highlight of the story: Jenna Ortega appeared visibly shaken at the Wednesday Season 2 premiere in Dublin, nearly breaking down as fans mobbed her with screams and declarations of love. The viral moment has sparked concern online just months before the new season drops on Netflix in October 2025.
Jenna Ortega might play a stoic goth queen on-screen, but even Wednesday Addams has her limits. At theWednesday 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
