Jenna Ortega has mastered the art of playing creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky.
So, it’s understandable that the Wednesday star might want to distance herself slightly from the iconic Addams Family member she’s famously portrayed for three seasons on Netflix’s wildly popular television series.
“I think after Wednesday, I’ll probably be off the TV for a while,” Ortega confessed during the Oct. 22 episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast. “You know I had many years doing [TV]. I was bouncing from show to show as a kid and I want to leave time for new things.”
Indeed, the Jane the Virgin alum might be leaning towards less commercial projects once Wednesday eventually comes to an end.
“I actually haven’t had a lot of franchise conversations,” Ortega added of her future plans. “What I’m meant to do will come and find me.”
And even though it’s been several years since Wednesday made Ortega a household name following the scripted series’ 2022 debut, the 24-year-old is still grappling with the attention and scrutiny that comes with her mega-stardom.
